I love how much hatred Dan has for everything he does in game, really captures the spirit of food industry workers.

[@NerdCubed]

I have worked in a kitchen before. The energy remains locked within

[@rosspoole6903]

@@NerdCubed the rage never leaves 😂

[@experiencecookie]

I don't know why dan is so aggressive in this video but I'm enjoying it

[@NerdCubed]

Aggressive, yet pallatable.

[@lurick]

@@NerdCubed Very mindful, very demure!

[@Sam1056]

Inspired by Gordon Ramsay.. probably XD

[@CptnWolfe]

Perfectly acceptable for someone with a dead dad

Glad to see Nerd³ Hell is back in spirit. Also that toy you referenced at 20:24 is called the "baby all gone" doll and was released in by the toy company "Kenner" 1991. Boy, you make ME feel old and I am 5 years younger than you.

[@kabobawsome]

I love that the game refuses to let you do anything reasonable. Prep? No, you cut tomatoes and buns TO ORDER. Tossing dough to go faster than rolled dough? No, roll every dough, with a hand roller at that. Putting your ingredients into a chilled container for quicker access? No, take every ingredient out of the full fridge, one by one, for every single order. You can only cook like max 3 things at once on a massive griddle. You can only cook 1 pizza in the oven with 3 racks. It's like the least efficient workflow I've ever seen. Honestly, it's fascinating

[@404maxnotfound]

Tbh this is probably a conversation the game creators have. Dev: "I found a good asset on the unity store, but it can only carry one thing." Publisher/Company Owner: "Great you have tomorrow to publish it". Dev:"But thats not how this works". Publisher:"We need you to start on 5 new simulator games."

[@jonasquinn7977]

Of course you have to do things that way, it’s how dad used to do it!

[@aturchomicz821]

@@404maxnotfound Yup thats the PlayWay SA spirit alright😭😭

[@omfgsushi7071]

It's at times like this I wish we still had Nerdcubed's Hell cause this game fits the bill perfectly.

[@NerdCubed]

It's still with us in spirit

[@NerdCubed]

Like dad

[@nathanholland8812]

​@@NerdCubedYou remember?? My dad, the dad who died, my dead dad

[@thekingoffailure9967]

@@nathanholland8812your dad died? I’m sorry about your dead dad, it’s terrible that he isnt with us anymore. If he was alive, your dead dad would want you to remember all the fun things you did before he died.

[@hipsnowsis7374]

the more time passes, the more I appreciate dan's artistry in portraying the humble simulator game. i wonder if voldemort still drives those assorted airport vehicles all these years later...

[@pusheenfan250]

The game is like Holly from Red Dwarf and thinks that the player is Dave Lister and Holly is reminding you that 'your characters dad is dead Dave' but then later the roles are reserved and you turn into Holly and the game turns into Dave Lister.

[@NerdCubed]

Everybodys dead dave.

I wonder what happened to the dad

[@Wewin42]

Yeah he died unfortunately :(

[@Catnippy]

i think he died but i'm not sure

[@timothymenard1750]

Blew up in a food truck accident

[@NerdCubed]

He died

[@thekingoffailure9967]

He was struck by a drunk driver on the i-90 back in ‘06. It was 4am. He legally crossed a marked intersection after coming to a complete stop but the drunk driver didnt see him and failed to yeild, T-boning Dad’s food truck. He was on the way home from a happy and successful night serving bacon burgers to a mosh of punks that overtook a graveyard for an all night festival. The drunk driver survived but Dad’s truck was not equipped with proper air bags because he focused investment and repair on the kitchen. It was this unwavering commitment to the buisness that ultimately put his life at risk.

[@wernt0]

10:15 Only OGs get that reference

[@BloodyMobile]

Good old "sausage to you" xD I have to admit that I forgot where he picked that up, but I do remember it being a thing.

[@andrewmpachetti]

SAUSAGE!

[@NerdCubed]

🌭

[@lewismcdermott3024]

2010 - when computers were loud and germans said sausage... it was as simpler time...

[@BloodyMobile]

@@lewismcdermott3024 I was about to say "2010 feels like a decade ago" and realized that that's an understatement.....

[@mikeymikey4186]

5:36 I love how you can actually hear Dan getting closer to the screen, trying to understand why that NPC looks like that

[@XiaoXiaoMan1123]

So basically it's a worse version of Cook Serve Delicious. Sometimes, less is more, as Dad used to say.

[@NerdCubed]

Dead dad

[@Trinitycore0720]

If they keep beating the dead dad thing over the player’s head, the player will be able to see their dead dad!

[@TheInternetHelpdeskPlays]

The game looks great. Just wondering if there was a family backstory about why his dad isn't around, I think I must have missed that.

[@jackelston2665]

The “let’s go bowling” at the end made me want to attend dad’s funeral.

[@Slash0mega]

4:50 I halfway believe the guy who made this game doesn't know how to cook himself! 2.50 for a extra burger patty, a dollar for a slice of cheese, and 50 cents for a extra tomato slice? those are the prices you get when you get food from a fast food restaurant, not when you go shopping for groceries!

[@aturchomicz821]

I mean theyre a game dev so yeah?🤣🤣

[@ThatOneShortieHo]

The energy in this video is perfect. Coincidentally, i remember when my dead dad would make burgers, my dead dad made the most palpatable burgers in the alley.

[@banjaxed8334]

2:40 it doesnt matter how well designed your ui is, sometimes a flashing hand pointing at exactly what you're meant to click on isn't enough

[@coffeesimp6492]

something tells me the main character has a dead dad... it's just the way he talks about his dead dad, you can really tell he misses his dead dad 😢

[@Xorua]

I love Dan's Peter Capaldi impression cause it's just the right amount of shit to be both recognisable AND hilarious

[@bengreen840]

the 10:14 sausage reference is ++

[@daftpunkking909]

Such an excellent reference! Garbage truck sim wasn't it?

[@blakesmith4780]

This feels like an old Nerd Hell video and i love it.

[@GamerBurgerz]

Love how you wake up to Dennis spray-painting his motive on the truck before committing arson and you don't immediately get his ass arrested.

[@majb8632]

damn the joke died, just like bros dad

[@TSVStriFe]

Dan you NEVER can have too much bacon :D

[@NerdCubed]

Your organs can and will disagree

[@TSVStriFe]

@@NerdCubed haha I know too much meat isn't good, but bacon is just too good hah! :D

[@404maxnotfound]

That being said in this game it looks like you cant more then one bacon. If it's more then one the game would probably melt.

[@GamerBurgerz]

@@NerdCubed My dad's organs sure did...when he died.

[@AdamHolland-Adz]

After all his experience simulating being a truck driver, train conductor, city planner, construction expert, dog tamer and a slice of bread, Dan now finally conquers his greatest dream in life... Frying fries for his ded dad.

OMG THE SAUSAGE GTA 4 REFRENCE MY CHILDHOOD! :D THANK YOU DAN!

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Every other line is about dead Dad... Is this a Batman game?

[@sacredbanana]

That's it. Next time I'm out with friends I'm ordering some fried fries with ketchup sauce

[@katbairwell]

In many ways, this may not have been the right video to watch on the 6-month anniversary of your Dad's death... But it's Dan, so somehow it's amusing anyway.

[@Hendlton]

SAUSAGE!

[@Racecarlock]

I get the distinct impression that the protagonist of this video game has a recently deceased relative.

[@ChazDude]

Take a swig of ketchup sauce for every mention of the dead dad.

[@StartledOctopus]

Wait. Dad died? That was a subtle hint for character growth

[@Nathan_A_RF]

Mayo on chips is superior

[@SoulPhoenix316]

*Hand repeatedly pointing at a single location with a single finger* Dan: WHERE DO I CLICK??? xD Also why is Luciano just Post Malone dressed as an Italian stereotype?

[@alansmithee419]

5:50 I loved that episode when 12 and clara started a burger shop on Negra Arroyo Lane.

[@jasonbuckholz3578]

25:20 nice reference at the end lol. Only few will get.

[@alexdbrooks]

This absolutely has classic NerdCubed vibes and I am living for it

[@Crazybean2012]

A game brave enough to ask, what if we did cook serve delicious 3 but worse?

[@Quasardian]

That last 3 seconds cracked me up so badly.

[@shawbag11]

I was kinda put off buying this cus its made by the gas station sim guys and they kinda just been putting out shovelwear these days. like ok the games arnt BAD bad but i mean they ahve soo many games coming out and gas station sim still has soo many bugs i just dont know if i like them anymore

[@TheAquilaSamurai]

For guy running a food truck and located in a rather run down loking area, that garage was absolutely huge. Massive workplace, Apple computer, drumkit...yet can't afford a bed (or at least a sofabed), or building security. Also....what was the point of that intricate graffiti on the truck if he was then going to instantly burn it down?

[@justifiedjester]

As a chef, I'm getting ready to go to work listening to this. Truly captures the essence of working in a kitchen.

[@SajuGraphics]

this has heavy Bus Simulator 2016 video vibes and I love it 😂

[@Rulerofwax24]

It's really sad that these game seems to have a lot of good gameplay mechanics but it's just so ruined by terrible interaction

Well hey at least Fruitbus is coming out in October to scratch the food truck itch. And weirdly enough, ALSO features you inheriting a food truck from a dead relative.

[@Sk47_bangouuut]

hey dan, just wanted to send a huge thank you for entertaining me for the last 10+ years.

Can't be that good of a Simulator game. After all, it doesn't have a year appended to its name. :) And for food service simulation games, give me Diner Dash any day. (I miss Diner Dash - their games are busted without Flash and they went all-in on mobile, leaving the desktop entirely :/) edit: Oh, gods... that ending... How the hell am I supposed to sleep tonight after hearing that? :(
