The Many A True Nerd 4,508th Episode Spectacular - A Behind-The-Scenes Birthday Special

[@BryanWagner]

Jon and Claire - the best moment OBJECTIVELY of all videos is from Fallout 4 YOLO when Jon was nearly flawless for most of the playthrough, until he took a knock in Nuka World Kiddie Kingdom from a ghoul which knackered 75% of his health. BUT THEN he completely recovered and I didn't think it was possible.

[@mephistophelicpierogi]

No way! The best moment was in Crusader Kings playing as Sweden? and a member of his retinue, Tord Headripper, kept tearing the heads off other retinue members in battle over and over again. I can still hear his voice though after he took that hit and was speechless, his voice almost cracked like he would cry. I still am not sure where that zombie came from Also him having to travel across the swamp in Kashyyyk during the Cal Kestis game Useless Steve is also a timeless classic

[@BryanWagner]

@@mephistophelicpierogi Brilliant!! Love it!!!

[@Lavarpsu10]

The super mutant rocket launcher moment from the same play through is better.

Not the Missile that missed his head by about a millimeter and gave him and half the audience a heart attack?

Happy birthday Jon.

[@jemal999]

Fun fact, if you started at the beginning and watched ~9 hours of MATN videos per day, you would catch up just in time for Jon's next birthday.

[@mephistophelicpierogi]

sounds accurate. took me around two years to catch up, but definitely didn't spend 9 hours a day. also made heavy use of the right arrow key.

[@jemal999]

Fallout 4 YOLO, Episode 15, 1:05:20 to 1:05:35. The Missile launcher followed by "I don't like Fallout 4 anymore". I think it would fit nicely right at the end of a loud part of the song, so that the Missile coming past is like the crescendo, then the music dies down as Jon starts screaming in panic and talking. Also, Episode 8 @ 16:09 is funny without requiring any context. "That's just the blood room where they keep the blood, nothing suspicious going on here"

[@armitage1950]

“8 years ago, just after FO4 came out.” EXCUSE ME 😭

[@vexphoenix]

Jon is like Bruce Forsyth, more like an extremely charismatic MC for his own show rather than trying to be a comic directly. Part of why I just keep coming back and it never gets tiring watching hundreds of hours of jonstantinople.

[@CommissarMitch]

I feel Jon have done so much and so varied that you can make a trailer for each of his big playthroughs and one for all the one-offs.

[@dragonsorchardofgames]

I don't know how many years I have been watching but I have always loved you guys!

[@Terro1888]

Im so pleased you liked my crab spider suggestion, hope it makes the final cut!

[@SimbaPride]

Only 5 mins in but Jon you can just go to your channel's page, hit more in the about me section and scroll down to see how many videos have been made, now should this be coded into the youtube dashboard to be easier to see of course it should will KZbin do it no of course it won't. Wish the dashboard was better man.

[@scragar]

The dashboard is I believe using googles big table indexes for displaying the count. It's a heuristic thing, it doesn't know how many videos there are without querying it, but it can estimate it using info it has in the index without looking at the full table. This results in finding the count of pages and stuff being very inaccurate, but it gets more accurate the more pages you look at(because there's less uncertainty in the metrics it uses to estimate). They could absolutely count the videos accurately, but doing so would cost like 0.001 cents, and doing that check every time someone opens their dashboard would cost a lot very quickly(hundreds of millions of views a day = thousands of dollars a day).

[@RagingBadger68]

@@scragaraccurate, inaccurate, or otherwise That estimate comes with only 0.02% error. Jon’s estimate was 4508, KZbins estimate was 4509

[@LMK-Gaming]

Happy Birthday, Jon! Hope you and Claire keep making videos for years to come! Also, I think Claire deserves a live stream for her birthday too! And on that note, will we one day ever get a face reveal, Jon? Because I feel like it's well over due!

One of my favorite moments since I joined was , I think, fallout 4 legendary roulette at vault 95 where you need to rescue Nick, and you took a sniper shot in the metro tunnels at those gangsters, and said something like " you stupid...DICKS" It had me rolling for about 5 full mins😂 Edit: I looked it up, its part 4 , 32:55 and I commented on it 2 yrs ago as well 😅

[@mtgboosterpackcrackin]

Put in a montage of Jon saying something along the lines of "I'll kill for a nice hat", from Fallout and Starfield and essentially every other game with hats.

[@SCORCHED-EARTH]

Or him saying "spec TAC ularly good"

[@PoeticTwist]

We need a live stream of Claire in place of Jon, and the dog, or cat, in place of Claire, but Jon translating.

[@daftpunkking909]

I feel 3 minutes would be just the count for how many times he said "cocking" in the Skies of Arcadia playthrough

[@-DM]

In KZbin Analytics if you view the Advanced screen, click the Content Type tab, then add the column Videos Published, then change the time to Lifetime, does it show an accurate number of videos?

@@krishaysrivastav6043 having overcome your previous struggles will also have made you stronger in some ways, and perhaps taught you new coping techniques.

[@timothy8428]

But have you got a database of episodes and hard disks? You should also have multiple backups in geographically dispersed locations.

[@Dectois]

Happy birthday Jon. Since you are already going through the clips for the trailer, might I suggest using some of those for youtube shorts. I feel like some clips might work excellent as youtube shorts if your audience wants to relive some of the funny moments without having to search for the exact video and timestamp. Additionally it might also draw in some new viewers.

[@Dectois]

@@-DM ok, so I can definitely understand the hate for youtube shorts since vertical videos are just weird. Having said that I truly think that some clips we saw in the livestream would work, due to them mostly being audio quips (is this the right word?). The only alternative would be to release them as individual standalone videos or multiple best of clip shows where the funny clips are summarized per game series. Mostly I just wanted to mention here, that if he is already going through all the suggestions and finds clips that are too long for the trailer or don't really work for the trailer, he could also rehash does clips into other kinds of videos where someone could rewatch some highlights if they are bored and want to be entertained quickly without having to watch a full video or complete series.

[@d3f3kt57]

Not sure if the kind of viewer shorts would attract (i.e. people with very low attention span) is the kind of viewer that would be suitable for this channel.

[@Dectois]

@@d3f3kt57 Perfectly valid concern and I also thought that this might be a possible problem after I posted my initial comment. But let me be clear I don't care too much if Jon decides to use my suggestion or not. All I really wanted was to tell him, that he could (with minimally additional effort) add some more videos to his channel which might benefit current viewers and might attract new ones to his humor/content. I mentioned youtube shorts first because I saw other channels take some smaller funnier scenes out of their long form content and provide it in a more digestible form. And honestly I kind of liked it because it provided me with content which might cheer me up after an exhausting day at work, without me having to re-find it in hours of videos. KZbin shorts also has the benefit of being separate to the new video feed of your subscriptions so that viewers who aren't interested could simply not engage with it. But it can also be easily found in the shorts tab on the channel. Like I said in my previous comment I feel like that a compilation of funny clips during individual series might also work. But and let me stress this again the decision lies finally with Jon whether he wants to do something like this or if he thinks that this would ultimately go against the interests of his channel. I'm perfectly fine, even if he does nothing else with the list of clips (other than the new trailer video).

[@TheAbstruseOne]

Just started watching and not sure if you're still asking for suggestions, but one moment I've always loved is from the first episode of the original Fallout 76 series, where you find either a nurse's outfit or asylum worker's outfit in a suitcase just outside Vault 76. The next shot is you in the dirty white old fashioned medical outfit and a birthday party hat, with the line "If somebody comes up to you dressed like this, you run and find a police officer." EDIT: It was the Wastelanders update series, not the original FO76. I also finally found the link to the form to submit.
