Nerd³ Plays... London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games

My Webcomic! nerdcubed.co.uk/
After seconds of training I launch myself into my Olympic career with a buggy, broken game and end up laughing and swearing at it a lot.
It might work fine with a controller but the controller was only "recommended" so to me that means you don't need it. Besides, how many hours would it take to add proper little symbols for the keyboard and lock the mouse to the screen? Maybe then I wouldn't have been so hard on this game.
Actually, I would. It's just a collection of weak mini games with no substance tying it together. No career mode, no training, just play 15 variations on "Hit buttons fast, but not too fast". I played this game on the SEGA Mega Drive back in 1998 and it hasn't changed in anything apart from graphics (which are very nice).
Here's an idea for the 2016 Olympics game. Base it on the Olympic dream. Start with a 16 year old from whatever country you pick and gradually build up from school sports days to the Olympics. As you go you gain money which allows you to get better equipment and travel to bigger races. You have to make the way you do races hard so people actually do need to practice. Throw in some training regimes, some mini-games about helping kids or something and then finally make it to the Olympics. If you have 15 events then that's 15 different games in one! Plus you could then take your Olympic character online which has proper, full on tournaments and maybe you could run the first Virtual Olympics during the Olympics and give out actual prizes. Hell, if you have the rights you could televise the finals of these events and really make people buy the game!
Oh and just throw in the final stage events for boring people to button mash or whatever. :p See? I fixed the Olympics video game. Now you have four years to make it work. Get on it SEGA.

All Music is in game music. It makes me want to spend $14.5 Billion on a two week sports day during another bout of moneygeddon.

A B X Y being mapped to A B X Y is still one of the funniest things on his channel

[@Chrnan6710]

*_THAT'S THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD I'VE EVER SEEN_*

[@HawkbitAlpha]

Honestly, I still laugh far harder at that than even the iconic gibbon line

[@sonofpears4691]

The only way it could be worse is if like A = Y Y=B X =A B = Y

"WHAT THE FLYING BASTARD DID THAT"

I thought he said given.. Im stupid as hell XD

[@barakul5648]

A truly fitting profile picture for the joke XD

[@Someone89a]

I remember this quote years later

[@157RANDOM]

Coming back to this video and seeing that "10y ago" is very surreal. I remember watching this the day it came out and it is just as entertaining a decade later, the only difference is that I am fatter and closer to death!

[@gavins4462]

ikr time flies

[@pryncebusta9875]

That’s tuff

[@randomintrovertedspider7510]

God, I remember watching this when I was 13. God time has flown - now I have to deal with taxes.

[@gueseman2161]

Ahhh, the days of when Dan recorded his vids in a Boeing 747.

[@gamerzen913]

looool

[@gabrielferreira7550]

Given that Dan's pc blew up, this joke only got funnier.

[@TheFrogSkeleton]

This is my go too "I'm in a bad mood, need a laugh" video :D thanks Dan

[@jamta9]

Same I've watched this every week for the past year no jokes

[@TheFrogSkeleton]

That's awesome! I watch it on really bad days or just like when I need a little cheerin up :) it's just too funny

[@WeMuckAround]

Woah my name is Ollie J too............

Absolute guilty pleasure watching his classics recorded in next to a wind turbine

[@Stumptdragon5]

Same. But to me it's iconic. When I think of Nerd3 I think of hilarious videos, loud button mashing and the wind turbine😂

[@oliverek7]

I miss these days 😢 I swear 2011-2014 were the best years ever. I can’t believe it’s been a decade since this time 🙃🙃

[@Flaccidtetris]

They really were 😔

[@oliverek7]

[@alexdempsey6525]

Dan just played these games he didn't try to hard to be funny, now he tries too hard and it isn't funny

[@quinnandvalor9657]

[@stevenquirk4502]

Fireprooflawyer When I was in highschool track I threw the discus. It was a joke amongst the other throwers to hit a(n) official. Then one track meet as I threw my 1.6 kilo discuss. The conditions outside wernt good so it landed full force into a kids ankle and completely shattered it into peaces. The kid who was told to move multiple times by event staff but didn't wanted to sue our school and my family. But them saw blades though. I'll think of a way to make that possible.

[@Caesar454]
