Oh, of course _you_ would like a piece of shINY AND POLISHED GAME THAT DESERVES PRAISE, AS WELL AS A WELL-PRICED COPY OF EA'S BATTLEFRONT II, WHICH IS WORTH THE MONEY.
"This wasn't sponsored by EA. This isn't an Ad. I made it up for the sake of comedy. Please don't sue me for making fun of your shitty company. Thanks." I love you Dan
When that phone thing came up I kinda freaked out a bit... I was wondering why someone was calling me.... and why I have Android Gingerbread... and why my iPad turned into an android phone
Right guys read the description: Spoilery Disclaimer follows: This wasn't sponsored by EA. This isn't an Ad. I made it up for the sake of comedy. Please don't sue me for making fun of your shitty company. Thanks.
Do you know why it's obvious that Dan wasn't really sponsored? It's the fact that if his family were kidnapped, and it meant he had to sponsor EA, he'd let his family die.
I love how before eating the cupcake the sim was dirty, sleepy, and needed to go to the toilet, but eat a sweet and magically all those problems are gone!
I used to play this one, one Christmas there was a bug that let you get thousands of those lifestyle points for free. I don’t know how they missed it but once I had like 5000 of them the game still wasn’t that great... so uh, even without the transactions it’s still not fun.
Fun fact! You can’t get your sims to marry unless you buy the engagement ring with the micro transactions! I tried 10 times with the two in game currency rings, didn’t work and I uninstalled it faster that I clicked on this video
"Spoilery Disclaimer follows: This wasn't sponsored by EA. This isn't an Ad. I made it up for the sake of comedy. Please don't sue me for making fun of your shitty company. Thanks." For the people wondering if that is a real ad or not.
I've seen some of his art. Wasn't that impressed. I mean it blows away a lot of post modern art, but that isn't exactly a high bar as anything which actually looks like the thing it is supposed to be blows away a lot of post modern art.
By the end of this episode, if you were playing the Sims 3, Kenneth Kennethson would have abducted a small child by now. And it still would be a more wholesome game than this shit
I know, I was pointing out that Dan literally gave a heads up about this video, also I check the description of videos before I watch them so I already knew this wasn't an actual sponsored video.
*Sees -Ad* and *EA* *Dislikes* "I feel like we've been too hard on EA recently..., There are hundreds and hundreds of really... well. made games out there" *Something isn't right..* *Checks description* *Likes video*
I lost faith in Dan's TH-cam fanbase a long time ago but you guys have surprised me once again. I know obviously not everyone who watched this is an idiot because there are people correcting those who somehow took this video seriously/genuinely believe that Dan's a sellout, but the sheer amount of people who need reassuring that this is not a sponsored video really worries me.
How did ginger Bob Ross get a firefighter job so easily? I have to take a 16 week college course on EMS and Fire Prep then physically train so I can pass the CPAT which isn't easy. I'm jealous of ginger Bob Ross to say the least.
Why do people think it isn't a joke? I kind of get it if you don't read the description but how could EA be texting and calling him about their issues with shit as it was happening in the video? He isn't streaming or anything, I guess EA have finally become so rich they are no basically god.
I don't think I could give you any more respect and you still deserve more. I haven't even got any left for Emma and she needs it too for that god damn beautiful cameo
Well, _I_ like The Sims.
Oh, of course _you_ would like a piece of shINY AND POLISHED GAME THAT DESERVES PRAISE, AS WELL AS A WELL-PRICED COPY OF EA'S BATTLEFRONT II, WHICH IS WORTH THE MONEY.
I have heard people call this a fake Sims game, as in not a proper one...
Sims 1, A-. 2, B+. 3, B+. 4, D+.
don't we all, its amazing Emma just like ur content
Of course you would say that, you did live like one for a day.
The morse code says “please help they have my family”
Jesus Dan
Snorkel Ninja Thanks for translating. 😊
Noo they have dadcubed!
joeykiller and Rebecca, poor poor Rebecca
10:21 the message sliding off screen says “One more fuck up and you won’t see them alive again”. *Jesus* Dan...
the morse code says: please help they have my family
Aardappelsaus Good on you!
did I hit a nerve or something?
The morse code said "please help they have my family"
Haha that's fantastic! Thank you!
I immediately figured out this was a fake when I heard Dan say... We've been too hard on EA recently
MT-guns too*
I figured out that this was fake upon reading the title. I have sadly played this. I built a warehouse of Toyota guitars. Yes, that is in the game.
the Morse code is pretty much what you would expect "please help they have my family"
The morse says "They have my family", according to an app i found on my phone.
Illithos legit?
Seems like Dan
I ?
What app ive been spliting inverting and mixing audio files to play through an audio morse code decoder for 2 hours now i need your secrets
In the original Sims, you control the Sims and sets goals for them to do.
In this game, EA sets goals for you to do.
YOU are now the Sim.
"This wasn't sponsored by EA. This isn't an Ad. I made it up for the sake of comedy. Please don't sue me for making fun of your shitty company. Thanks."
I love you Dan
Der Kaiser It's not a spoiler if no one wants to read the bloody description
"yes you can argue that even hitler was an artist"
best quote of 2017
Dan blink twice if EA is holding you hostage.
He can't, they glued his eyes open.
He did put a morse code
No, according to the morse code they're holding his family, not him.
MARCOSHAK100 where? And at what time? I have a friend that loves Morse code, he can decode it!
So... the morse code, has anyone bothered to translate it yet?
Nope I was wondering the same thing
+Bad Request It says “Please help they have my family”
Not Retsonine Thanks. That is really dark. Should we do something about that?
nah
Naw, it's all good, EA are nice people, Happy hElpful peopLe, dudE
The Morse code says “please help, they have my family”
Misty i knew it was morse! I was about to dust off my code book to try and decrypt it
I can't believe you cracked that, I saw it and knew it was morse but I haven't practiced it in a long time so I couldn't tell.
Dan, thanks for the disclaimer.
I was worried for a second xD
yeah, my too
I was genuinely scared. Like 'Dan, this is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke'
I was more curious how he was gonna get away with making fun of a fairly standard mobile game if it was a paid ad.
You honestly thought it was real?
Not really, but with the Patreon thing I wouldn't have been surprised either. Hence for a second :3
'2 bucks for Adidas clothing, that's a fucking bargain! I mean the kids who make it could afford that.'
Savage. xD
"And yes, you can even argue Hitler was an artist"
Oh boy, it's gonna one of my favorite kinds of Nerdcubed videos.
When that phone thing came up I kinda freaked out a bit... I was wondering why someone was calling me.... and why I have Android Gingerbread... and why my iPad turned into an android phone
nhyijy gingerbread? That's what the aosp dialer looked like on KitKat iirc
jep0rox are you sure? I don't think I ever had kitkat...
Regardless, its old hell lol
The entire episode is Dan being sarcastic and it's beautiful.
Right guys read the description:

This is a modern masterpeice. Dan Hardcastle is a artist of satire.
...Dan, blink twice if EA is holding you hostage...
There's no face can
Do you know why it's obvious that Dan wasn't really sponsored? It's the fact that if his family were kidnapped, and it meant he had to sponsor EA, he'd let his family die.
Oliver Nichol Fair point. He'd save the dogs, generic action movie style. Also, you're an idiot. It's clearly sarcasm.
"2 pounds for Adidas clothing, that's a fucking bargain.. Even the children who make it could afford THAT"
The genius of NerdCubed!!
Someone crack that morse code.
Corrven where in the vid is it?
please help they have my family (something like that)
I wonder why dan never gets sponsored
Dan does. He just doesn't accept them
I had to check the description to make sure the world hadn't gone mad
Rewatching this I'd completely forgotten that the whole thing was a dig at Emma!
???
Wheatly Newman She did an EA sponsored video, near the height of the lootbox controversy. So naturally, Dan ripped the piss out of her.
Within 20 senconds in the video he compares EA to hitler
He did invent loot boxes, but thought it was going a step too far.
I'm not gonna lie I haven't watched this video yet, but just the title and description have made me laugh. Thanks for bringing the laughs Dan
Allstarchickensuit
To an outsider, it looks legit. To us, it's a hilarious joke.
I finished the Desert Bus VR video about a minute ago.
Good timing.
I salute you
I got through like, 30 minutes. You sir are incredible.
Why Not? What took so long its been out for a week?
Lovely, but disappointing, wasn't it?
Nerd³ sells out without actually selling out.
Continuing the Nerd^3 tradition of stiking while iron is lukewarm at best
My favorite emotion is baked good.
"I feel we've been too hard on EA recen..." *Video stops to buffer*
I love how before eating the cupcake the sim was dirty, sleepy, and needed to go to the toilet, but eat a sweet and magically all those problems are gone!
too near to reality haHAA
I used to play this one, one Christmas there was a bug that let you get thousands of those lifestyle points for free. I don’t know how they missed it but once I had like 5000 of them the game still wasn’t that great... so uh, even without the transactions it’s still not fun.
Just pirate the sims 3 complete collection like everyone else
The worst thing about this is I feel like you could make a really fun Sim game that works on mobile, and now I'm sad we'll never get that.
Bob was actually doing a genius chess strategy. If you don’t move a piece, you don’t lose!
I have to wait 9 hours to wait for my sims to come back to work?
What am i supposed to play at work then?
get them to work at night bro when you sleep
sleep?
Fun fact!
You can’t get your sims to marry unless you buy the engagement ring with the micro transactions!
I tried 10 times with the two in game currency rings, didn’t work and I uninstalled it faster that I clicked on this video
Poke Prime what did you expect
Watching this on your phone is hell. The amount of times I reached to answer the non existent call.... Damn you Dan
So... how long did it take everyone to realize how BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE to read this tiny UI would be on an actual phone screen.
"Spoilery Disclaimer follows:

For the people wondering if that is a real ad or not.
* Dan's lawyer prepares himself *
Dans lawyer is in fact, a speak and spell with googly eyes super glued on
They're always prepared
"You can even argue Hitler was an Artist."
He was; a bloody good one at that.
Dead0Fire I also heard he was a good cook
Eh, many people at the time thought it was pretty sub-par. On Netflix in the documentary Hitler's Dark Charisma they spend some time on that.
I've seen some of his art. Wasn't that impressed. I mean it blows away a lot of post modern art, but that isn't exactly a high bar as anything which actually looks like the thing it is supposed to be blows away a lot of post modern art.
I mean in his time most art was what he was painting so his was just more of the same stuff that was everywhere.
Next video: I am taking a 1 year break because of ea suing me...
By the end of this episode, if you were playing the Sims 3, Kenneth Kennethson would have abducted a small child by now.
And it still would be a more wholesome game than this shit
I can taste the sarcasm
QUICK SOMEONE WORK OUT THE MORSE CODE
Please I'm to lazy
Me too
. . . _ _ _ . . .
WHAT DOES IT SAY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I tried to use an audio to morse translator but it didn't work because he's talking over it
The amount of people here who can’t tell this is satire
Guys if you're really that dumb, this video is not sponsored by anyone. Read the bottom of the description.
For a moment there, I thought Dan had sold himself out! Haha
The link to the game in the description is truly amazing
My favorite part of the link was The McMahon Salute.
I think it was meant for EA.
We need to send a search party to find where they are keeping Dan.
Morse code : Please help they have my family . Nerdcubed U need help ??!!
When you realise you’ve watched Dan for about 5 years. Time flies.
try 6 and a half
How do people not realize this isn't genuine
Because 1, none of them have read the description and 2. they commented before even watching the video.
Ledrang this video reeks sarcasm through all its pores... The final clarification is not for us, but for legal issues.
I know, I was pointing out that Dan literally gave a heads up about this video, also I check the description of videos before I watch them so I already knew this wasn't an actual sponsored video.
Okay, the "pan the camera" joke was hilarious. Just putting it out there.
Anyone else notice the Morse code?
Sos send help ea has me hostage
Yeah its what Zhip said
Angela LeBreton Time stamp?
I've only worked out the last two words "MY FAMILY", probably not a good sign
"EA send out lawyers like my local kebab shop sends out flyers"
....Through the letter box?
3 Years late, but thats Naan
The Morse code is "please help, They have my family" I think
Ryan Johnston thank you
This was made just for that one joke wasn't it
Dan isn't the hero TH-cam deserves, but he is the one we need.
I knew it was a dig at emma from the beginning
Morse code: “Please help they have my family” Should we help him?
Dan are you Ok....... We are worried
BuisnessPig85 read the description entirely
did you read the description?
I did It was a Joke
just wanted to make sure
I immediately leaned over and tapped my dog, she just rolled over expecting belly rubs
This is honestly one of the most underrated videos on TH-cam
Yup, its so raw and full of truth...
Mmm *smacks lips* I can almost taste the comedy and the sarcasm in this one.
Why are we all just now getting recommended this
a year later. but yes
"Too hard on EA" not even 10 seconds in and I cracked up
Free to Play? Yes
Free to Enjoy? NO
Is no one gonna mention the morse codes scatter all over the video??
It says "help they have my family"
I really think that this was just an entire video of dan being sarcastic
no... dan being sarcastic... Never!
the amount of peoplethat don't get this is a joke is amazing
Tavuk Ve Ben This isn't obscure comedy, it's quite funny but everybody gets it.
I love these fake sponsor videos
Is it just me or are there some rather dark undertones of this vid...
I wonder how many people think Dan actually enjoyed this.
-10000 every body thinks he hates it i do
Spartan627 Probably the 220 who disliked the video
"Thanks Norman Borlaug"
Thats a call back to the desert bus VR, if anyone missed it.
Green Tea got about 4 hours in, fell asleep, decided to take that as a sign that man was not meant to finish watching that one.
rip
hue
Airport Simulator VR would be the best game ever invented
Back on my IPod touch, I remember playing some Sims game and kind of enjoying it because it had a money cheat.
I was also very young and dumb.
Dude fuckin same
Spencer Glenn Was that it? I remember it having expansion packs like World Adventures and stuff because I totally remember bringing my sim to Egypt.
I love the EA PR REP Who keeps popping in to make sure you don't screw it up XD Pure GOLD!!!
*Sees -Ad* and *EA*
*Dislikes*
"I feel like we've been too hard on EA recently..., There are hundreds and hundreds of really... well. made games out there" *Something isn't right..*

Poor Emma.
:D
How did ginger Bob Ross get a firefighter job so easily? I have to take a 16 week college course on EMS and Fire Prep then physically train so I can pass the CPAT which isn't easy. I'm jealous of ginger Bob Ross to say the least.
He *was* an Air Force drill instructor. I imagine he was in pretty good shape to begin with.
It helps that at the time he was the only person living in the town
dammit, I don't know how to decipher Morse, anyone?
" please help they have my family"
I'm watching on mobile, so when the EA rep called I was so confused for a second
We don't make mistakes, we make happy little accidents.
An EA free to play mobile game? Yep. Sounds like Dan's type of game
I fucking died laughing when he said that we've been too hard on EA
Calling it: parody.
Edit: In retrospect, that was kinda obvious.
Same dude. Or at least I hope so...
No shit Sherlock.
Why do people think it isn't a joke? I kind of get it if you don't read the description but how could EA be texting and calling him about their issues with shit as it was happening in the video? He isn't streaming or anything, I guess EA have finally become so rich they are no basically god.
In hypothetical terrorverse, Dan is trapped in a bare white padded room with no features but a one way mirror, a smartphone and a laptop.
Ow... i can feel his pain saying ea isn't shit through the screen.
I don't think I could give you any more respect and you still deserve more. I haven't even got any left for Emma and she needs it too for that god damn beautiful cameo
I fucking died laughing when I saw Emma
Series on '' They Are Billions' PLEASE!!!!
What’s with the Morse code?
It says "Please help they have my family"
I feel like this is sponsored...
... by Samsung.
This may not be a real sponsored video, but those do give a great sense of pride and accomplishment.
