Borderlands, Ticket to Ride, Into the Spider-Verse 

werewolves that were born as wolf pups really WERE wolves... were wolves... werewolves

@@CorvusCorone68 t56.5

I was right there with him... so few "nerdy" shows include WoD stuff that any time it pops up it makes me want to jump up from my seat.

I wanted him to win so bad after seeing that!

It really was. The entire time I was just sharing his excitement and joy. It was more infectious than lycanthropy (in other IPs.)

I hope I'm not the only person who just randomly shouted "GON!" when he showed Gon Freecs lmao

Gon from Tekken was the first thing that popped in my head, so glad he was on there!

Paragon, trigon, hexagon… the list goes on… goes on… go on… gon

I immediately thought Eragon and Kingon.

@@Skycania Thats a character from a old early 90s manga! I laughed out loud when he scrolled by to exactly no fan fare lol, poor Gon!

@Evert van Dalen yeah, but unfortunately you didn't say "Um Actually" so we can't give you the point on that one...

@@EileenJustMe in this type of minigame you don't have to preface with 'um actually'

@Evert van Dalen hey, I didn't mean to upset anyone or pick a fight. It was just a joke in the sense of the game. Sorry if it came off differently. Have a nice day ^^

@@thebrownlantern5504 oh, I know ^^ I was just joking as if the rules of the game had to be upheld in the comments as well. Must've come off as confrontational. That really wasn't my intention.

@@EileenJustMe I got what you were going for and I continued the joke. I'm well aware people do jokingly uphold the rules in the comments and I was playing along because,like is said, in that specific mini game, 'um actually' isn't needed to preface their answers. It was a lightning round persay

Um, actually, he only missed saying "Um, actually" on one of them.

I know old WoD has gotten a bit of an iffy feel according to some people with the whole werewolf and wolf can make more werewolves cuz 'zoophilia' and all that. But hey, Werewolves are very much not humans after all.

@@kinagrill WoD gives me an iffy feeling way before any of the bestaility aspects of it lol It draws in a rather particular demographic to be fair

I'm pretty sure the first quest is following claptrap into fyrestone

@@ivanstewart9411 Yes, in game terms, but you, as a Vault Hunter are already looking for the Vault. At best, Angel just tells you the general direction to go.

I thought the same. Cause you are already travelling as a vault hunter as said by Marcus I believe, but angel "calls" you shortly before you arrive.

@@Mr.Monacle Yeah funnily enough the first thing she does is introduce herself and tell you to meet claptrap, which the characters were already gonna do regardless if she mentioned it

Um, Actually, there is no bus stop. You have Marcus stop the bus and meet Claptrap in Firestone

Um Actually, some letters came from "Elbereth," a North Pole elf who's name got repurposed in LOTR.

@@novanoonthyme6208 umm actually, it's whose, not who's (contraction of who is/has)

Everything except the pronunciation of Metis, which I am pretty sure should be pronounced May-Tee, as it is a reference to the Métis people of Manitoba, who are a mixture of French and First Nations ancestry.

@@wendighoul no, pretty sure it's pronounced "Meh-tiss". They don't always keep the pronounciation of the base/original word.

@@acolytetojippity I stand corrected, apparently, it was clarified in one of the novels, that it is NOT pronounced the same as Métis. Meh-tiss feels awkward to me, but I guess I will get used to it.

@@acolytetojippity now let's discuss how to pronounce Camarilla

@@wendighoul Camarilla, Camarijah, what do we neonates care about the pricks in the Ivory Tower? Just join the Anarchs, Erika's look this episode should be more than convincing.

Wait... You mean she isn't one already?

Not enough tattoos

@@animewarrior16 that's just because she isn't a siren yet

You're not that far off.

yeah she looks damn good here such a cool look!

Gee thanks

Its nice when he's not getting bullied by another contestant the entire time.

@@Skycania when?

@@Skycania who bullied him?! 😡

@@kerryann9851 Edit: Just checked it's the episode titled, Skaven, Watchmen, The Neverending story. If you watch one of the other videos he's in, the other two contestents were basically acting like they were 'too cool' for nerd stuff. At one point Nick was really excitedly describing how he use to collect warhammer models and one of the other contestents was like "pft I was buying trainers..." in an honestly derogatory tone (like the sort that is trying to be funny but just comes across as a thinly veiled jab) and there was a Flight of Dragons question and Nick got really excited about actually knowing something kind of obscure and the female contestent said something about having sex rather than focusing on nerd stuff (I honestly can't remember too much of it), basically throwing it in Nick's face. A lot of people pointed out that if the roles had been switched and Nick had said that to a woman who was excited about knowing nerd stuff, it would have been seen as really derogatory but it was 'fine' becaue it was a woman. Basically Nick was great, the other two guests were honestly acting like assholes the entire show.

Probably the difference of regular questions being made with the intention of somebody answering it with relative ease. But then the fan questions are basically "how close can we get to being right, without being right". Almost an "average person" vs "diehard fan".

@@NicolasClark7732 The fan question got something wrong, too; Claptrap wasn't a playable character in BL:TPS. It was an entirely different robot of the same model, whose name was Fragtrap.

@@DefensorsPacis No, wasn't it Claptrap? Fragtrap was the class. Promotional material, a joke about stairs in either it or 2, and the DLC for TPS all say they're the same.

@@ScrewupExtraordinaire yeah it totally has to be our claptrap because one of the missions in that very game explains why there's no other claptraps

@@DefensorsPacis Fragtrap was one of many subroutines running in Claptrap, specifically as a combat module. Also, I don't think he appears in Tales from the Borderlands

They did use demigorgon though

I was expecting them to use trigon

@@br0k3nm1nds8 I was waiting for one of the Blorgons from Inspector Spacetime.

Perhaps a picture of the Pentagon next time? Or to confuse everyone who isn't a fan of Egosoft's X games, a picture of the Argon (basically humans).

@@br0k3nm1nds8 same and Etrigon, can't have 1 dc demon and not the other haha

I love her boots!

I was just thinking she's giving me big XxDreamxX vibes

First the choker, then the disney princess transformation...

i saw this comment before they absolutely crushed that disney song question and figured it was just the dichotomy between her outfit and personality but it got even better!!

@@LishB1011 Um, actually, it's xXBrokenDreamXx.

Similar to Matt Mercer getting so much correct in that "What's wrong with this single round of DnD combat" question

It's literally a group of spiders who collectively believe they are one Spider-Man

@@SerLoinSteak Does it have a villain which is a bee made of Nazis?

Even better: It constantly wants to eat people and all the other Spider-Mans have to keep telling it to stop.

@@SubtleSerpent no hyphen? Get out.

@@danieldenmon5006 sorry my hyphen is broken, just like my hymen

You didnt say um actually

There was also the Hammer of Morgoth in RoTK when the orcs attacked Minas tirith.

@@Coramelimane Actually, Grond was only mentioned as "the hammer of the underworld".

@@PseudonymX Damn! Gets me every time

Um actually, it’s Legolas that calls it a “balrog of morgoth.”

There's a similar shiny question: they have to place mythical creatures in their country of origin. It's a fun game.

lol just have them actually play GeoGuessr

Do you remember the time that they did the map game and one person kept guessing New Zealand?

Worldle

Um actually, it's pronounced ore-gun!

Um Actually, it's the quickest way to turn an Oregonian into an Oregoneian

Oregon pronounced like octagon

I KNOW RIGHT? It’s Ore-uh-gun. ORE-UH-GUN!

Or Ore-Gun depending on your accent.

I love how his ending video finished it all up.

Gon was my favourite character in Tekken, even though my brother always beat me, but he was still great. And then one day in my school library (in Brisbane, Australia), I saw Gon on the cover of a book and realised it was his manga. So naturally, the minute they put him on the screen, I recognised him.

I came here to say that. I loved Gon manga as a child...

Nick clarified that in the show

@@thisjust10 He only said Gon had his own game, not that Gon predated the games by many years.

So did Nick, and he found 2 things wrong that were not included, and connected to the tabletop game system to boot!

@@jandex4838 yeah I loved that scene it was about dnd too. Like, hey 3 things where just wrong here

Trapp is obv an Inspector Spacetime fan, he's got a model X-7 Dimensionizer on the set.

It's called Security Theater.

It's called a deterrent. Did you decide that police departments were bullshit when you realized you might be able to swipe a candy bar and they might not notice, or that some murders go unsolved? Even when your stuff does go through the full scan they might still miss something. But they also might catch it. Do you think a wannabe terrorist is gonna bring a bomb in their shoe based on the 10% chance they get to go through the pre-check line? I'm not saying every TSA policy is logical but this particular argument is ludicrous.

@@jerodast That's a very selective way of looking at it. We have TSA checkpoints, random bag checks, and other stuff like that on the assumption that we "might" catch a bad guy? Literally the only things that have been successful security measures are reinforced cockpit doors and more air marshals on planes. Everything else is the illusion of security without actually doing anything.

@@jerodastidk bruv they did studies on how useful tsa precheck is and it was very not useful at all

there definitely is no Windows 9, was kind of a big deal when it happened

@@lopikloplmao yeah wait a minute

@@lopiklop you didn’t say um, actually

Also interesting is that Asimov named his 'positronic brain' during a time when science had not decided on what to call what we now call an electron. The competing names were Electron and Positron. The Positronic brain was nothing more than Asimov deciding on what to call an electronic brain before science had.

Gon Freecss

You can send it to their twitter 🙂 then they might include it next time

And Spider-Geddon was released around the time the film Spider-Verse came out so it's unlikely to be an inspiration source.

@@Music_Engineering This is a really old episode, so hopefully someone already corrected them when it initially streamed on Dropout.

I thought he was just saying the alt Spider-Mans were in those comics, not every character in the movie

There's also an alternate universe version of Otto Octavius called Octavia Otto. She's a good person.

It's time to get off RU-vid, Erika's mom.

I think Erika goes by non-binary pronouns. They/them.

@@markaaronneuman1617 their current bio has it as she/they i think

@@memory_bones thanks for the correction!

@@markaaronneuman1617 ya, no worries :D

Sorry I replied that to the wrong thread. Deleted.

Depends on the airport and the time of day; I've definitely sped past those in the standard security lines by going precheck

Came here to say this, lol

I already knew he was gonna be on there when I heard the title of the game

Woolie versus Gon in 60 seconds

AND NOBODY GOT IT

Yep, was looking for this.

This needs to be in the next episode.

Just today, I literally googled ''lotr THAT one backround elf'' And it showed me figwit :DD

I came here to say this. You beat me to it.

Um, actually, according to Volo's Guide to Monsters, xvarts are not related to gnomes at all, but are identical replicas of a minor god named Raxivort who stole an artifact from Asmodeus and created the xvarts to mislead devils sent to find him and reclaim the artifact. The fact that they aren't from the Underdark is correct. I just went and checked the aforementioned sourcebook for this, and I know it will soon be superseded by Monsters of the Multiverse, but it seems xvarts will be included in that compendium and I don't imagine that Wizards of the Coast will change anything about them.

@Theodore MacAulay I didn't know that, thanks for enlightening me!

In the immortal words of Bo Burnham: "No, it's Ore-gone, it's long gone."

You might even call it a Christmas Miracle

YES THANK YOU

I've been playing a campaign of W20 for the last few months so that prompt hurt me. haha. I loved how on it he was.

This. Derro actually degenerated from humans, not dwarves.

@@pozatat Duergar sounds correct.

Not really, because it still is mostly caverns, even if some are miles across. Extensive cave network could also mean planet-wide, but the inside/outside are still connected by rock
