Nerd� is something I've been keeping my eye on. While I troll through mindless CoD:Black Ops top 10 "uber-uber-uber kills + blopsgasms" (don't judge me, judge the stereotype), Occasionally I find stuff that I actually enjoy. When I spied one Nerd� awesome videos, I went to check out more, and I was rewarded with some funny, some deep and emotional, and a mix of both in their machinimas. With vlogs, a "Let's Play" series, and just pure general awesomeness surrounding them, Nerdcubed seem to be up on the rise.This is the guy I talked to."What exactly is NerdCubed?NerdCubed is how the uncool kids spell it. Hold Left Alt and tap 0179 onthe Num Pad! There we go! So, Nerd� is the name I give to everything Ido online. I've used alot of names in the past and I finally wanted tonail it down to one name that I could then build upon. So Nerd� is thename of my comic, my site, my videos and anything else I do!How did it originate?I had a real job for about four hours. That was enough to never want oneagain. During the fifth hour I was doodling a little minecraft comic andthat night I made it. Over the next few months I started up a littlewordpress site and began uploading a comic once every few days. Itcaught on so I left my job and it's been my life ever since!What do Nerd� do?Everything! Anything! I like to try my hand at as much stuff aspossible. The current focuses are the Comic, the Let's plays and theMachinimas. I like to think of these as the trinity of Nerd�. Thesethree are the constants and everything else can come and go. In fact afew weeks ago the Let's plays weren't on that list so you can see howchangeable everything is!Where is Nerd� heading?I have no idea. Seriously. My plan is essentially to keep throwingthings out and see what sticks. I've got about 20 news ideas I'm playingwith at the moment. Out of those twenty I'd say... oh... about one willactually work. I can't wait to find out which one!Has the fanbase had any influence on where Nerd� is heading?Entierly. If the fans don't like something then I don't force it, I letit die no matter how much I may love it. A lot of sites recently havemade unpopular moves and kept them saying that they 'make businesssence'. Well, if people don't like them then it makes no sencewhatsoever. I try my hardest to listen to my community, to respond toemails and to chat in the comments. I want everyone to feel welcome andfeel free to share their ideas! Plus the comic has reader choice everynow and then so I even let the fans influence the story! I'll tell youone thing, that makes plotting the story a right pain! :D Worth it though.Your comic has run well over 200 issues, what do you make of this?It's insane. Both the fact I've actually made 240 of the things and thatpeople are still reading! I'm always trying new things with it and asidefrom a rough plot I still have to write it every day. If I knew what Ihad to write then I'd get bored. All I have is a list of key events andcharacters and the rest is worked out daily!I hear you do Youtube Minecraft Let's plays, how is yours different toothers out there?Most let's plays are someone talking over 15 minuites of Minecraftfootage, sticking a logo on the front and uploading it. Mine are 3 hoursof footage edited into one 15 minuite video. In a word, they are faster.If I have to get somewhere instead of talking over minuites of mewalking I'll just edit the footage there. There is also a much largerfocus on comedy over actually showing you how I build the variousthings, plus the things I build are made in one episode and alwayschosen by the community. Want me to build a giant space aardvark?Suggest it then watch me fail as I try to build it. Someone once calledthem the 'Top Gear' of let's plays and I think thats pretty true.Any word on any future projects?Yes. "Secret". :pOK, Can you give me any information about your "secret" projects?Well I'm currently playing with ideas to introduce new people. I mean,the comic is 240 issues on and that's a lot of catching up to do. I wantto do a comic 0 to go at the start that explains everything but I'mstill not sure what to write. I can tell you that on the 23rd I'mreleasing a retrospective of the first year with all the things thatfailed and that worked. It's also going to list a few of my future plansso that's exciting!Oh and I really want to make some games..."My Favourite Machinima of NerdCubed:NerdCubed's Favourite MachinimaThe First Nerd� Let's PlayAnd The WebsiteI'd like to thank Nerd� for taking the time to reply and go check out his stuff !! It's epic !!
