Nerd³ Plays... Taskmaster VR

[@liamross340]

okay but truthfully you’d be the best taskmaster contestant go on it now this is a threat

I want him and Jon on Taskmaster and paired up in a team.

[@poultrybird9750]

That Melon part was the most taskmaster part of the entire video where dan put in the entire code, went back to the scales and back to the chest before noticing the slice

[@lilhanhan]

Not just that but also forgetting about the UV light after noticing another 'blank' piece of paper in the bathtub and proceeding to just lob it along with all the watermelons! 😂

[@NerdCubed]

That slice was added in post-production with AI. I'm a jenius. Yep.

[@potatosordfighter666]

I love how he was staring almost directly at it for so long too. Truly beyond amazing

[@dylank9377]

Dan doing the egg task was basically exactly like a task from the show. The elaborate set up at the start, disassembling that elaborate set up in favor of a crazy scheme that seems unlikely to work, the near triumph followed by despair, and then finally the sarcastic one point awarded from Greg

[@johndthackray]

Somehow the janky physics feels very in the spirit of Taskmaster

[@potatosordfighter666]

I'm gonna play this game and break the physics, launch the egg into space, and then land it in the pan. I wanna see what they say if I manage to make it go kilometers

[@shamshiddy]

oh id actually love to see nerd on taskmaster, imagine a series where all the contestants are youtubers

[@NerdCubed]

Me, Ashens, that Baby who bit that other ones finger, the sneezing panda, and sentient clips from 8 out of 10 cats. BOOK IT.

What the fuck, I just started rewatching taskmaster

[@NerdCubed]

You did this

[@OriginalPiMan]

As possibly the only TMVR player to have been invited into the real show... Series 400-something; the TM team should be legally obligated to put your VR tasks on the official channel.

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

Appearing on Taskmaster, one more step cleared on Dans mission to become the Doctor Who showrunner.

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Out of all the people I watch play video games that I can't on KZbin, Nerd³ always delivers when it comes to VR games. You really know how to make VR games look crazy fun Mr Cubed.

[@GlassedGamer]

"Time starts when you have a spatula in both hands." My mind: [cheekily grabbing a single spatula and moving stuff around the kitchen]

[@pusheenfan250]

Us procrastinators can't wait until series 489! Petition to get Daniel on taskmaster soon! He would be amazing! Been excited about this video since he said he was going to do it! I would love to know who Daniel would love to be in the line up with him on taskmaster.

[@macdoo99]

felt a little iffy about them releasing a tie in game...but honestly based on this Taskmaster in VR might actually be perfect

[@actionsam7878]

I felt the same but it's turned out better than I expected. Though I'd be lying if I didn't admit I wish there was a non VR version for people who can't afford VR headsets or prefer playing on consoles.

[@ilo3456]

@@actionsam7878 I feel like it just wouldn't be as enjoyable outside of VR, since the fun part of the gameshow is the physical manipulation of objects and VR is perfect at interactivity with game elements, so it just fits perfectly.

[@Oshroth]

There's also a Taskmaster book and a boardgame

[@ruinfox4108]

"Im going to read it again because i wasnt paying attention" god i do that so much,

[@prism6]

16:24 They nailed the ominous silent stare

[@bobskool]

If the task was to make a sandwich using only the spatulas, surely it should have been a spatula sandwich?

[@tuffjiggly8566]

Of all the Taskmember contestants, I could totally see you just having a lie down mid task, cuddly toy and all

[@sircatsmeow2886]

"I will finish all of these on video". I'm so glad we're getting more of this.

[@omfgsushi7071]

We need a podcats, taskmaster special. Assuming the podcats isnt dead in a ditch lol.

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

I think it should be getting back on track soon-ish, Jon has been really busy.

[@tateganim2238]

I thought he stopped doing that when he rebooted?

[@tateganim2238]

Or is it a patreon thing?

[@NerdCubed]

Jon would just explain classics to the watermelons until they told him the answer.

[@TheMixchestnut]

@@tateganim2238 it is not, it goes up on there and publicly 2 weeks or so after, the podcats just hasn't been done recently purely just for the reasons of they've been busy with alot of stuff and hadn't got around to doing one

[@Josh0205]

Jeeesus, I haven't watched you in over 11-12 years, hearing you still do the same intro you did all those years ago hit me with an absolute WAVE of nostalgia, I remember being so sad when you stopped playing Minecraft. Sick to see you still going!

[@Penfold101]

Alex Horne: just wants a sandwich Also Alex: gets slapped around the face with a spatula covered in hot oil.

[@TheVoidWanderer]

Please, I beg you Dan, DO MORE OF THIS! Edit, saw the end, I am very glad you'll be doing more, thank you!

[@JustinDejong]

I love how you can see the logic in some of the tasks that let you cheat. Making a sandwich- The task STARTS when you are holding both spatulas. So you can get the bread, toast it, cook the meat, set everything out nice and easy to access. THEN pick up the spatulas and put it together. Move the egg as far as you can before putting it in the frying pan. Righht next to you is a coffee cup and a spatula. Put the Cup on the spatula, set up a box under thew tube. Have the egg fall into the cup, THEN pick up the spatula and balance the cup and egg as you walk as far away as you can.Carry the Pan in your other hand, when you're far away enough, drop the egg / cup into the frying pan. The developers knew the show well, and they perfectly set it up for you to be cheeky about your solution.

[@lilyjones8122]

If the task only starts when you have a spatula in both hands, you OBVIOUSLY start using only one spatula. Have you never watched Taskmaster, Dan?!

[@shawbag11]

I really wish dan could go on real taskmaster. This proves that he would be hilarious on that show XD

[@ChCoClAteDrAgOn]

New series and it’s taskmaster? Hell yes

[@Rateus_Johanson]

8:43 Perfect Taskmaster moment right there!

[@imallfordabulls]

Love the little callbacks like the watermelon smashing.

[@FlamingLily]

I had the exact same reaction as Dan reading "Player Creations," that's incredible

[@bluesnail95]

9:45 is the answer to the maths problem we have all been wondering about for years hahaha

[@noddler217]

I think the makers of this watched Dan's previous VR cooking... Attempts...

this game actually looks surprisingly good.

[@allyson5380]

[@TheDumbus]

Blade and Sorcery just hit 1.0 recently with a soft story mode and lots of new abilities and things. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already.

[@Powoga]

14:58 Ah, but it doesn't say anything about touching the egg itself.

[@brysonlambes7175]

Egg task, carry the egg with two objects of distance, get an arbitrary distance

[@Egzindahouse]

This might be the game that finally gets me to consider getting a VR headset. I’d love to see a Podcats collab video competing in this (though since Jon hasn’t seen Taskmaster as far as I know, he might be less interested than Dan and presumably Matt would be)

[@amyshaw893]

Is this literally just taskmaster branded job simulator?

[@NerdCubed]

If you consider comedian a job, then yes!

[@amyshaw893]

Ok, different people made it, so it's not literally just reskinned job simulator, but it does feel very similar

[@frogsbongs]

​​@@amyshaw893tbh I don't think it's that similar, different style, different objectives, different type of gameplay. It's just hard to make a VR game where you go "do something" feel different to a similar do something game, especially when most VR games are mostly about showing off their physics engines Like I can see the similarities but I wouldn't call it reskinned at all, it's still very different, it's just following the VR game design

[@HOTD108_]

​@@amyshaw893You seem to think any VR game that lets you pick up objects is the same game. By that logic Half-Life: Alyx would also be a Job Simulator clone.

[@Eyecyou64]

Dan is the one that got me into taskmaster, in high school I used to scour reddits that were all about British panel shows just to find a Google drive the current season on it. Great times now They're pretty much just all on KZbin so I basically wasted a bunch of time

[@hughanthony9500]

Hey Nerd, have you thought of revisiting H3VR or BeamNG? The former especially has had like a bajillion updates.

[@JamieAubrey]

Series 489 it is, I'll be waiting

[@fishyboi98]

A Taskmaster VR game with a Task creator is a really smart idea for a game, I'll be honest. It looks like its really fun too.

'i can drive now that's a thing' wait in reality? Good for you! Also oh no for other drivers on the road (we've seen how you drive in games dan)

[@ZephyCluster]

Question for the Chat: If there's a TaskMaster: KZbin Edition, who are your contestants (besides NerdCubed) Mine are: RTGame (the double "Dan" confusion alone would be gold), CallMeKevin (He's a tasking Genius), and SpiffingBrit (Lessee if he can exploit IRL). :P

[@Thisandthat8908]

They've given Alex Bugs Bunny teeth...

[@multiverseanomaly69]

I think Dan would also like "The Smoking Gun". It's murder mystery with robot suspects.

So. The Egg task. Couldn't you have put the egg in the basket, then used arrows or the big straws to pick the basket up and carry it to the pan?

[@ItsSpudNick]

[@V0ID_X5]

I’ve never watched Taskmaster, but I’ll have to check it out now!

[@cs_044]

I pre-ordered this on the quest and it's quite fun once you get your head around it, performance is a bit shaky but still worth a play

[@JoPo4815162342]

Dan should have got 4 other people to play and edited the videos into a Taskmaster Series.

[@WhiteWolf496]

I'm definitely going to pick this up at some point. But holding off for now until they fix some things. I've heard it runs pretty badly at times and could see frame drops in this video and the janky physics would really annoy me. There's a certain physics jank acceptability in VR and based on the video it exceeds it for me personally. So hopefully some things get fixed but it's does look like a lot of fun.
