I feel like Dan and Jon didn't bully Matt enough for calling an ant a spider

[@DragonNexus]

I feel Matt and Dan didn't bully Jon enough for calling a Dandelion a Daffodil.

[@Herbiesainty]

Matt: “Jon, one shot with a bow isn’t going to do anything against a beetle” Jon: “Well I’m sorry” Dan: “Didn’t one of the beetles get shot?”

[@xdjrockstar]

13:04 I need Matt's scream to be my new text message sound.

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Reminds me alot of Gavin Free. But I do agree

[@kevinprehm]

So, the lesson that Dan took from playing Earth Defense Force was that he would need friends to get through it The poor fool

[@antisocial-gamer7293]

Now *_this_* is what the Borrowers are getting up to these days.

[@lwaves]

When I first saw footage of this game, I immediately thought that a Borrowers game could work. An open world house, the family members for co-op and maybe a human bean or two for the big boss danger.

[@beelzebubbles6031]

Lwaves that is the dream

[@kitsunegold4596]

13:04 I love how Matt’s screams steadily get higher and higher

[@CaptainCuttlefish74]

you can hear the steadily increasing panic

[@sirapple589]

I am 100% behind more of you all playing this game. This is utterly fantastic. Dan had an entire character arc in this video. Matt showed why it’s a good thing that humans feel fear. And Jon just had to direct whatever chaos they came up with. Amazing.

[@Fuji_Echo]

All of Dans Matt and Jons videos are fantastic

[@madman19931612]

agreed, but i would like the others to also put on the arachnaphobia mode if they go on the constant scrolling down as soon as matts screen popped up was a bit distracting

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Christ that intro was something else.

[@caramelldansen2204]

I'm scarred.

[@fenwicknolan2129]

I think it's the best intro so far

[@No-he8gd]

I love dans redemption arc where he bravely chose to fight the mighty jelly bean single handed

[@IHDHI]

can't wait for Nerd³ (and Jon and Matt) Plays... to become a regular thing

[@MoonGuardian866]

I see matt got an upgrade, he got an actual font for his name instead of comic sans.

[@ironmaiden2258]

Am I the only one the laughs when Matt says ‘Daniel’ and Dan just ignores him so he just says it louder 🤣🤣

[@silverschannel8578]

Matt/Dan got that Archer/Lana energy

[@RealXion98]

Everytime the views switched it went from terrifying on Matt and Jons view to "I dont even know wtf that is" on Dans view. Somehow, i want to buy this game now.

[@desertsoftime]

I thought he made 3000 intros. Did Dan lie!?

[@vissenekku]

How dare you?! Dan never lies.

[@Spiny_Boi]

Matt's panicked screaming after stabbing that spider made my year

[@route8stuff]

13:03 this is just priceless 🙏

[@Azeria]

Antz (1998) the video game?

It’s grounded

[@Mr_OzZy71]

A series of this would be phenomenal! Also patreon gang!

[@Daweasaurus]

Thats would probably give dan a heart attack.... lets do it! Also hi again!

[@Mr_OzZy71]

Daweasaurus Hi! It definetly would lol

[@ScrewupExtraordinaire]

It'll take a while before the game's fleshed out enough for a series. I'd love to see it, though.

[@lordporpoise8761]

@@ScrewupExtraordinaire If they managed a series on Fallout 76, this should be pretty easy.

[@Rateus_Johanson]

Oh hell yes! "Collaboration"Hype! Why do you not know the difference between a daffodil and a dandelion?!? It's literally written on the screen!

[@chromaticblue3976]

You are referring to the same person who, multiple times, called an ant a spider.

[@Rateus_Johanson]

@@chromaticblue3976 fair point.

[@joshuasparkes1997]

I would pay to see Dan play this game with arachnophobia off.

[@Idiocy_JJ]

the videos with dan, matt and jon are just objectively the best.

[@YodatheHobbit]

I'm still hoping for a Battlefront II video or squad twitch stream of them.

[@jensz12]

This is one of the most funny videos i have watched for a long time. Please we need more of this!

[@animuswonder]

I was going "Why are the spiders blobs?" and then remembered another playthrough that said "Why is there an arachnaphobia mode?"

[@codeymiller5954]

it's like that one story from doctor who when the doors opened midflight

[@CJ-po2nq]

I think dan should try playing without the arachnophobia mode on just to see what happens 😂

[@oak3684]

News headline: Famous KZbinr suffered a heart attack whilst playing an online game.

[@spickey5378]

THATS THE REASON I CAME BACK HERE WTF

[@chaoticmasterpiece]

They're literally super scary. I'm not afraid of spiders, but I don't like them either.

[@adamchmielewski6162]

Irl, there is a spider that creates a nest underground with an entrance like a hatch, it feels the footsteps of it’s prey above ground then leaps out of the hatch and pulls the prey to its doom, the hatch spider (if I recall correctly) looks like a hand reaching out of the ground and pulling animals as big as MICE down to their lair. Remember, it’s in Australia. (of course)

[@Mini_Squatch]

the fact that -1 perception jon is the guide makes this all the more unnerving

[@dominicmascall5324]

*Spiders when Dan joins the game* "The time has come brothers, no mercy"

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

In this episode, the gang get outsmarted by a spider.

[@WiseArkAngel]

Jon and matt stabbing each other is the most British thing I have ever seen you start a video with.

[@Tustin2121]

Just a warning for when non-patrons arrive: If you have Arachnophobia like Dan, might wanna skip this video, especially after the 28min mark, as Matt and Jon don’t have the Arachnophobia mode on...

[@Xenuos]

wish I saw this sooner rip

[@espressocookie8965]

thank you. goodbye.

[@amberlewis012]

My god thank you so much. I saw a spider in the first few minutes and....Ugh. I can't get rid of that weird itchy sensation now.

[@OriginalPiMan]

@@bruceree3902 So wonderful. You have successfully cured real fears in an instant. Write your thesis, because you've apparently instantly cured a psychological disorder that usually takes time and real effort to overcome. You'll be the most famous psychologist since Freud.

[@Tustin2121]

I know there’s a sizable portion of Dan’s audience who also has Arachnophobia and follow him in part because his shared phobia means they’re unlikely to see spiders in his videos. I personally don’t have said phobia, but when I saw the last few minutes of the video had the screen literally filled with 2 or 3 of the things, I figured they’d want a warning.

[@Wulf-cub]

13:00 This is why you don't poke the sleeping bear. Or in this case, the sleeping spider.

[@ryantaylor945]

I want let me refrase that, I need a part 2

[@Albert_YTC]

This is the happiest I’ve seen Matt in a while

[@ellaisplotting]

Twas cute

[@Leitonhaack5586]

That ending was very heroic. Bravo Dan, bravo!

[@theenigma2861]

I hope we see more of this, I wanna see Dan slowly overcome his arachnophobia (to an extent)

[@sanchises]

Anyone else *not* watching this full-screen?

[@TheArchitectJC]

hey remember when Matt beat Jon at Hitman 3 times in a row on his own channel. :D Good times.

[@TheStripeTailedFiend]

I'm almost certain the devs of this game are just taking the piss because the spiders look uncomfortably realistic compared to every other creature in the game.

[@probablyalex]

Wasn't expecting Matt 😂

[@Rateus_Johanson]

MATT! MATT! MATT! MATT!

[@amberlewis012]

SPIDERS! SPIDERS! SPIDERS!

[@suddenpenguin]

[@danz409]

i wanna see daniel's reaction to the spooders with arachnophobia mode OFF entirely! these are probably the most realistic spiders in a game iv seen so far.

[@amberlewis012]

....Are they? Well. I know what game I'm *not* getting.

No you don't, he'd probably have a panic attack. Phobias are not entertainment.

Matt Jon, thank you for getting Dan to play this. But the fact that Dan just saw 2 blobs instead of a spider, slightly underwhelmed.

[@cupicdegree0743]

[@ordinarydeviant]

He’s using the setting like it’s supposed to be used.

[@ZaphkieI]

"I've got the shits due to some bad humous and Jon and Matt are stabbing each other" So... it's a Tuesday, cool.

I want this to be a series, then them smugging in their high base, and the devs updating it one day so they are smugging in the base and the spider hoard starts climbing.

Dans greatest fears. Spiders and blobs of piss with a marble

[@__Albin__]

Now with the full release of the game I'm playing it myself, and here I am back to rewatch this. I hope the future holds more of this.

[@steelplatedheart]

I'm kind of sad that the story arc ended with Dan being defeated by spiders.

[@kirsopp1]

This is the best laugh I have had for months! Thanks Dan, Jon and Matt

You guys need to do more of these.. f***ing hilarious. Dan, I'm very impressed that you fought the spiders with your bare fists.

[@ryttyr14]

I'm so proud and happy about Dan facing his fears

[@MW-rs3nl]

This was my favorite part of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!"

[@nsssf3733]

complete series without arachnophobia mode on

[@Xenotric]

Next Nerdcubed, MATN and Matt play Earth Defence Force

[@billysmith7704]

i think dan should take off the option to make spiders blobs it would have been so much funnier

[@speedwaynutt]

Not going to lie I was expecting Dan to be scared of the Spiders but he is using arachnophobia mode so they just look like Liquid blobs

[@Smegheid]

What this game obviously needs is a mechanic where everyone else can vote to turn off someone’s Arachnophobia mode...

[@grantzolldan]

1:10 It took this game for me to learn the name for those little red bugs I see everywhere.

[@taekinuru2]

This is such a well made game that Dan will NEVER do a longer Let’s Play of

[@seanjenkins4459]

Im not sure if its the blur or the rapid camera movement but this video was painful to watch lol

[@jinjrbred]

Its not just you this game has an issue with motion blur and frame syncing its hard for a lot of people to watch or play it see Gopher for further evidence of this.

[@padacuw4722]

I dont notice anything weird about it?

[@meganisprobablylying9782]

[@driedchameleon4586]

At least Matt can say "Brought" properly

[@NoSleepArtist030]

Can we all agree that 2/3 of people who play this have or now have aracnhophobia

[@dinodare1605]

How does the arachnophobia mode help? Are some people afraid of the legs? I've always been more afraid of their presence, but it's fine behind glass.

[@DiegoLopez-jh9vl]

like for Dan to turn off arachnophobia mode

[@DearWenger]

now this is the sort collab i live for. throw demma in the mix too just to make the lulz stronger (if emmas still friends with dan!)

please do another one of these with dans the spider setting off it would be a golden episode

as jon is saying the ants are alright my wrists have been half devoured by ants, so i respectfully disagree.
