'''Many a True Nerd''' ([[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDYZxJE8kLZ-o6nL8E1bXdQ Link here]]) is a WebSite/YouTube channel for the lesser known [[http://manyatruenerd.com/ website]] that focuses on [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] for action and RPG games. Hosted by Jon, a master DeadpanSnarker Brit, the channel has come to focus on high difficulty playthroughs or unusual [[SelfImposedChallenge Self-Imposed Challenges]], such as {{Pacifist Run}}s, using none of a particular resource, or single life bar, no-heal runs where death means a literal game over. He is particularly focused on the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' series, though he has done strange runs on games in similar styled series. He will play other games in other styles, particularly obscure titles, usually as a subscriber or anniversary special. Jon is sometimes assisted by fellow MATN member Claire, usually as the second player in a two-player game or on occasions when he needs help [[ItMakesSenseInContext making sense of an alternate French universe]] version of things.

-->'''Jon:''' ''(Puts down pizza)'' Have a slice! ''(Kills man)'' THREE HOURS, I've been waiting to use that pun!

* OmnicidalManiac: Evil Jon from the "Kill Everything" Runs of ''Fallout 3'' and ''VideoGame/{{FalloutNewVegas}}'' is bent on killing pretty much everything and anything possible, including herself at the finales. There are [[InfantImmortality some characters]] that can't be killed; in those cases, if Evil Jon can't get rid of them by other means (usually enslavement), he will do everything possible to make their lives miserable, such as lay out mines or steal all their food.

This page is still WIP, so other feel free to add to it.

Many A True Nerd is a Youtube channel that is maintained by Jon. Some seem to think Jon is MATN, but it seems that MATN is more of a brand while Jon is the active part of it, with Claire being a part of the MATN brand as well.

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: The Great Brit-Ant, an alias Evil Jon temporarily adopted in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}''.
* CardCarryingVillain: When doing Kill Everything, Jon has a disturbing habit of becoming this.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Kill Everything runs, as well as the "No Kill And Other Stuff" VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney run.

* {{Self Imposed Challenge}}: Jon is known for doing runs like these in a lot of the games that he Let's Plays.
** Has done various challenges in ''VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight''.
*** He's done Hard Mode runs of regular and Advanced Editions of the game.
*** He's done a run with the Lanius ship. Lanius are according to {{Word Of God}} a metallic lifeform who are also biological, and whose biological composition somehow drains oxygen from the room they are in. Simple enough. But he also had a human character aboard as well, and like all humans Steve needs oxygen.
*** He's done a No Oxygen run with a normal Engi B-Style ship which he renamed from The Vortex to Out Of Milk.
*** He's done a No Shields run as well. As you have probably guessed, shields reduce, or in this case; absorb, most of the damage coming your way, before it hits your ship.
**** Most of these runs also last for several parts, with a few even managing to get to the final boss, the Rebel Flagship.
