Jon

Comments

Jack

For Why Not Wednesday or a small miniseries, I think you should do the first Bioshock

Martin

Are you freerange eggs and if so, bio or not?

BooMsx

Did you try Steam controller yet, if so what did you think about it and do you think it could replace your regular controller?

Cloudnixus

Hey Jon, what game would you love to play on your channel, but you think wouldn't get that much attention/views?

Pete Swulius

In just one short sentence, explain how you remain so awesome and humble.

Skye

Since you talked about demographics i was wondering...how many Italian subscribers do you currently have? Just curious.

Samuel

Have you ever cut something because you thought it was too dark even for your sense of humour? Also do you have a favourite British comedy tv series and what is your opinion of the horrible histories tv series?

Janta Dathorien

I would love to hear some detail on how you created the Choose Your Own Apocalypse videos! What was the process like? How long did it take to plan and execute? Etc., etc. I thought that was an exceptionally well done series -- it really felt like reading those books did when I was a kid.

Samuel

What do you (and Claire as a massive French lefty) think of the Democratic candidates?

Dylan O’Connor

How often do you cut out bits of your videos you'd intended to leave in? Not things like inventory management, fast travel, and loading screens; but things like a discussion on your strategy, an especially cool looking scrap with what was probably a group of super mutants, and masterfully crafted puns. How do you choose what to cut and what stays in? Also, Choose Your Own Apocalypse was wonderful. How long did that take to set up?

Solar Dragon

Will this REALLY happen in April?

Brian Bitner

How long did Choose Your Own Apocalypse take? That was fantastic!

Bill

What editing software would you recommend to someone just starting to make content as a hobby? Some of the professional packages are incredibly expensive when it's not even a portion of your living and you just want to make videos for fun. But the cheap/free packages and cumbersome or just not good.

Brian Bitner

Did you expect the media coverage you'd get when you finished Fallout 3: You Only Live Once? I was so happy to see your name popping up all over the place!

Allison Otting

You're asking for questions on my birthday! Excellent. I was curious what your metrics looked like this last month? What day did you get the most new subscribers, can you see where traffic came from, and anything else that might be interesting for a data nerd.

Vierar

Do you have any plans to continue March of the Living? Your FTL playthroughs are my favorite series after Fallout. I'd love for you to get back to your roots with a live stream of some FTL!

Richard Muscroft

Hi Jon, Your thoughts on Fallout 4 slowly coming out? With F4 being released without Survival mode should AAA titles be doing this? Keep up the amazing vids!

Daniel Abraham Cross

Will you ever do that doc Mitchell play through of New Vegas that you talked about in your no kill run?

Brian Bitner

Not a question for the podcast, but you spoke last time about maybe needing help in the future, and I wanted to offer pro bono help in any way I can! I do graphic design, music composition, audio/video editing, writing, acting, data management, etc. Feel free to reach out at brianraoulbitner@gmail.com if there's anything I can help out with, and of course, keep up the great work!

Jani Nykänen

Do you have a car? If so, what kind of?

Matthew Kaiser

Will you ever play civilization 5, please? If so, please play as Germany because they're the best warmongerer ever.

Cale

Chocolate or Vanilla?

Twirly

What pets have you had?

Jack

Is there a series or playthrough or episode of any Fallout game you've put up that you wished you'd have done differently or planned better? If so, what, how, and why?

Jack

Do you have any regrets about joining YouTube?

Jack

Are you planning to do more coop with Claire? Your Who's Your Daddy video was hilarious

gcrzero

Hello Jon, have you ever considered playing Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines? I'm sure you know the developer, Troika Games, was founded by the original Fallout developers. Keep up the great work.

MurasakiiAme

Have you ever had to cut something out of a video, such as an accidental swear word or a statement that you deemed a bit too risky for the vid?

MurasakiiAme

Are you going to be doing another Dark Souls video? Either another DS1 or maybe Dark Souls 2 since it's deemed a little more accessible to new people?

Qwarr

You mentioned in your reddit post about explaining why you're doing the new FO:NV S run instead of the Kill everything and you had said you looked at the "Dust Mod". Any chance we'll see a mini series for the Dust mod?

Jacob Enda

Would you be interested in a playthrough of Quantum Break? It's only around 8 hours long, but I thoroughly enjoyed it when I played it.

Benjamin Ascher

Not to rush you, but do you know when you'll be doing Xenonauts? I know there is already much in the works, and that planning can be difficult with new releases and unexpected events, so I understand if it won't be for quite a while. Thank you.

Mark Shenton

Hi Jon. Firstly, congratulations on completing your YOLO run and the amazing reactions that entailed! Nothing less than what you deserve for all the dedication and effort it must have taken. My question is: How does it feel now that the YOLO runs for both F3 and F:NV are complete? You mentioned in the first part of your new New Vegas run that you've been doing those videos weekly for almost 18 months, so is there a sense of relief that it is over, or is it more melancholic? Thanks!

Maja

Where would you go, in the UK, for the long-ish May weekend (with May Bank Holiday included)? Or are you planning to go somewhere maybe?

Daniel Marshall

Hello Jon, I was just wondering whether you could upload the audio for the patron cast rather then it just being a video? It's just easier to listen to whilst out and about rather than having to sit at home playing a video of a title screen. Also a not a question but just a little thank you for your work. I fell out of gaming years ago (last console I played properly was my gamecube and that was from launch when I was 14. I've picked up a Wii, Xbox 360 and now a PS4 but haven't put many gaming hours into any of them. However I came across your Fallout 3 kill everything run and adored it. Since then I've gotten into watching and supporting a number of youtube gamers and despite believing most modern gaming isn't for me I thoroughly enjoy watching you and others create entertainment around game play. So yeah, keep doing what you do and looking forward to more video's in the future.

Chloe Wilson

What would your non-youtube related dream job be?

Anna V

Hello Jon. It seems you quite like Democracy 3, and Democracy 3: Africa recently came out. It's very similar to vanilla game and is basically an expansion rather than a new entry, although it's much harder than Democracy 3. Maybe you could have a look at it next time you're in the mood for political jokes and being assassinated by radical feminists. Also, congratulations on Choose Your Own Apocalypse and a question: what is the hardest part of the new survival to adjust to? I'd guess saving on sleeping is the hardest part, but I mean something that slips your mind to come back and bite you, and saving on sleeping seems pretty hard to forget.

Jan Bednarczuk

Not really a question, just a comment, that I am super blissed out about your JSawyer run. I love all your New Vegas stuff and this one seems like it will be a little more laid-back than the YOLO runs (which I equally loved, however) and full of interesting lore and commentary and whatnot. Oh, OK, I do have an anecdote about my time at the Embassy. When I was in 6th grade (age 11 or so) my class visited Washington DC and we got to go to the Saudi Arabian embassy. Their metal detector was set so high that it detected the thin wires inside my plastic-frame glasses, and detected the foil gum wrapper inside my friend's pocket. Those guys do not mess around.

You should be able to launch it on mobile and lock your screen and it will keep playing... At least I am able to

George Morgan

How do you get started building an audiance?

Praetorian

Hey Jon, Now that we've seen Dan (Nerd3) declare his love for the Vive, will you be tempted to get one, and if so can we expect to see some videos on it?

Steven Fraser

Are you going to play Far Harbor in Survival or No Guns? I think it'd be awesome if you dove right in to the deep end and started this new, unknown world in Survival. Have you ever heard of or played the game "Project Zomboid"? It's a brilliant little 2D isometric survival game you might like. The zombie genre is kind of overdone but it's such a realistic and brutal game to the point where you have to make sure you have fresh bandages on or you'll get infections and die. Your character even gets stressed and things like their hearing distance suffer as a result. Could make a cool mini permadeath series but I'm not sure what you're "goal" would be because when you load up the game it basically says "You are going to die" and well...you will. Didn't intend this to sound like advertising... Still, it's a great game I think deserves some spotlight.

Ohad Rubin

What about the remastered New Vegas Kill Everything you mentioned awhile back?

Daniel Marshall
>>1702097

I can do but I work in the deepest farthest regions of a factory outside of wifi range and it'll just eat up my allowance. What I have been doing the past few months is listen to it whilst going to sleep but then it's a case of trying to remember how far I got each night and continuing 2-3 nights in a row

Sabrina

Hello Jon and Claire! Thanks for providing quality entertainment to spice up people's lives! I wanted to know what your experiences with writing, either professionally or as a pass-time, and what advice you had for designing characters, designing worlds, and writing in general. Do you have any do's or don'ts for writing? Are there any books to use as case studies of good or bad writing? Why?

Constantine

I know you started you slightly modded New Vegas run recently, and you asked for reccomendations on mods to add to the series. You also said that you don't really like overhaul mods all that much. Just what kinds of mods would you be willing to add? New Quest Mods? New Guns and armor? new ruins to explore? Improved animations? New Weapons mods? Expanded Crafting recipes? A wasteland full of new critters that you know nothing about? Is is still April when you are reading this question?

Jack

Have you ever thought about doing a Left 4 Dead multiplayer thing with fans?

Dillon

Hey Jon, I love the channel. After visiting the U.S. as many times as you have what would you say is the biggest difference between England and the U.S.?

Zack

Jon with the success of the Choose Your Own New Vegas Adventure have you thought about expanding it a bit and adding multiple endings? A chance to die by Boomer barrage or being forced to fight in The Thorn has to be good for at least 100k views right? You could easily split off from Freeside to the "outskirts of New Vegas" where something something The Thorn happens.

Lucas Anderson

inb4 May 1st release, anyhow! Will there be some radio New Vegas in the background of the Sawyer modded playthrough of NV, as we had music in the background of the old new vegas playthroughs? Also any more co op playthroughs with Claire planned in the near future? Thanks!

Solar Dragon

So, regarding Pokémon. I know it's sort of a grey area with Nintendo and whether you're allowed to do Pokémon videos. Have you spoken to any other YouTubers who specialise in Pokémon to see how they went about doing them, whether they had to get permission from Nintendo, sign up to their program etc.? And if they did not, would you think about doing a Pokémon series on your channel, or would you be against that until Nintendo change their policies?

Sergey

Would you like to play democracy 3 more? I can teach you how to pass any country on 200% difficulty and everyone will applaud. Do-doo-doo-dee doo

Vince

Do you ever get nightmares at night , on getting killed during your YOLO run?

Nick Dewsbury

Why don't you like showing yourself in videos? I almost believed you were a box of eggs for a year before I realised you appear in the Manyatruefirstvideo. Also thanks for making so much quality entertainment. It may sound soppy but its honestly helped me through difficult times in my life.

Lucas Anderson

Would you playing any Sherlock holmes games be possible ( like the most recent one, crimes and punishments), as they are somewhat similar to that of L.A Noire in the terms of detectivey games. Would love to see something like that on the channel again!

Yuri1cz

I cannot belive you are actually making this in April. You seem to avoid showing your face on the camera although the first video shows you quite well. So do people recognize you when you go out?

Kasper the friendly ghost

I had a disagreement with a friend about this. Butter on toast before jelly? Or just jelly?

Tavis Charles
>>1702934

or perhaps with the ManyATrueCrew - I feel Clair denouncing the witch placement in game could be quite fun

Tavis Charles

Hints and Innuendo about upcoming series! Hints and Innuendo!

Talia F

Would you consider doing more livestreams, where we Americans could assist with terminology, like "boarding school" in Life is Strange, or "flotsam" for Bostonian tea.

Daniel M

What was your favourite/most interesting course you took while completing Classics at Oxford?

Nathan Bennettt

A few questions (sorry if I break any rules or ask any old questions I'm quite new >.<) Firstly any plans for more play your adventure like the choose your apocalypse? Also ever heard of command and conquer? If not I highly recommend picking up Any of the older ones (command and conquer generals zero hour or and ones before that my favourite is Tiberium sun) they had boom late 90's and are definite classics that seem to have been lost post EA since the company assimilated Westwood (developers of the CnC games) I'd love to see a YouTuber revisit them. Finally since you have begun the descent into the chaos that is mods in Bethesda games can we expect a mods show case weekly (fallout 4?) in the distant (or maybe close) future? And if so would it be a weekly look at a few mods or a modded series or like Dan's modded GTA with one mod showcased entirely on its own? Sorry I know it's a lot roof questions but thanks for the many hours of entertainment xD

Cale

Do you know how aggravating it is watching you play Fallout series and seeing you completely miss something Power armour, magazines, bobbleheads, legendary corpses you cant find Do you usually spot them in editing or only after the community comments on it? For example the power amour you missed in Survival mode Pt 9

Jeff Mossop
>>1705040

I second more livestreams although being in the UK he'd probably go live while I'm at work :-/

Jarmo Nikander

Jon you utter gitt! :D j/k but since you are a fella educated in classics (which I love - e.g. totally enamored by your educational Ryse series, especially in contrast with one dumb ass "king of YT walkthrough" who kept calling Romans Spartans through his series) you totally triggered me in the otherwise great Pollen video. Luckily, since I'm a patron I can educate you on Philosophiae Doctor, and be sure you saw it. Doctor of Philosophy is PhD, the general degree. It even said on the certificate that "Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science" had you read the small print, so no they did not send philosophers to space, Jon. ;) Not all doctors are PhD though. I myself am going for a Doctor of Science, but there basically is no difference, rather just depends on the country and institution that awarded it. In Finland I could pick and choose and I'm actually yet likely to change my mind given the prominence of PhD. In the UK it is generally PhD that is awarded! Phew, now I can sleep. Thanks Jon, keep up the good work. Kudos for the choice of New Vegas video. Ashamed to say I wasn't even aware of a Director's cut. BTW, feel free to disregard this in your patroncast; I just needed to vent. :)

Julien Demantes

When do you think Fallout 4 will slow down ? I really like Fallout but there is too much of it for me right now. No Gun was fun but now there is the Survival Mode… As someone else said i’d like it to be another « main » series other than Fallout like there was few month ago. I don’t know how you could do justice to certain big games with only 1 or 2 parts. You show us many indie tittles which is really really cool but I have the feeling you struggle to do videos about well known good games. I don’t want more videos you do plenty without even a day off in a week but 2 fallout series are enough.

Natalie Lim

Did you have a career goal in mind when you chose to major in Classics, or were you just doing it because you liked the subject? I'm curious because your work with various start-ups, and now the YouTube channel, are a pretty big departure from the kinds of jobs I would expect someone with a Classics degree to be working in. Thanks as usual for the awesome content! :)

Sergey

TELL ME THE NAME OF THE SONG which plays on the welcoming video!

Steven Fraser

What do you think of the "PS4.5" and will you be getting one should there be any PlayStation games you're interested in? Personally, having had a PS4 since day one, I look forward to the upgrade.

Lu

Hello Jon! What is your favorite non-classic book?

Aaron Mobley

Ever consider bringing back Why Not Wednesday?

Henry Eckert

I know at some point you were planning to do a Fallout: DUST run but recently you said that you didn't want to use hugely game changing mods, I assume you were talking about the main runs but in any case, are you still going to do a DUST run?

Jes Featherston

So Jon, when will we FINALLY get to see you do a full play through of Skyrim on your beautiful new gaming computer?? That would really be great! 😊

Jack

Do you think any time in the near future you'd do something like a FONV: Director's Cut Don't Starve Kill Everything YOLO run or special episode , like for 200,000 subs or something?

Solar Dragon

I write this as I'm watching the Podcats live. One complaint I have about it is that you seem to be quiet a lot of the time. Is it possible for you to try and talk more, or try and get some more topics you can talk more about in them? Even the chat seems to think you're quiet, I was seeing things like #JonLives when you did speak.

Dave

Hey Jon, you know you never put all of your Panzermadels videos in a playlist?

Joshua Nokes

Hi Jon, I was just curious as to why you decided on a classics degree? Was there a goal in mind or were you just interested in the subject?

Kasper the friendly ghost

Suggestion for Why Not Wednesday. Knack! Wonderfully terrible game. I'd love to watch you play it

Sean Pitty

Hey Jon. I was just curious if you have ever played dishonored and if you have would you ever consider doing a kill everything run for the game.

Artemis Potter

Hello! I've got a place to do Classical Studies at Exeter University. Do you have any advice for me as a Classicist yourself?

cktger

Hi Jon, if you ever hire an assistant for your channel... Will you call him Steve?

Jarmo Nikander

Dude! Second submission, but an actual question this time. I remember on one of your playthroughs you explicitly pointing out at Van Graffs the fact, that you can pick stuff up, take them around a corner and steal them there without aggroing anyone. This carries over to Fallout 4 as well. Lately you seem to be oblivious to the fact, but I doubt you are. Did you just decide that this is a stupid "mechanic", (which it is in my opinion too, while I keep doing it) and dub this under your "not exploiting glitches" kinda category? Would like to hear you comment on this. Thanks brodacious ladmate.

Dillon

Would you ever do a Hitman Kill Everything?

Luke Walker

Out of 3, NV and 4, which Fallout has the best music on the radio and which has the best theme?

Jack Schillawski

My boyfriend and I had an idea for a Kill Everything run with a twist, an Until Dawn Kill Everything... As quickly as possible. Thoughts?

Twirly

Will you do a survival guide for survival mode when your finished with this playthrough?
