Trivia / Nerbit

Go To

  • What Could Have Been: Nerbit has outright stated that quite a few video ideas simply never make it to fruition, due in part to the issues with either his hardware or the games themselves. He compiled the major ones in a video, as well as sprinkling others here and there;
    • Can You Beat Fallout 4 with only Caltrops?: Project stalled after he ran into an unwinnable situation due to a botched save against Kellogg. He made Can You Beat Fallout 4 as Sonic the Hedgehog? in its place. He would later state in Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas as Agent 47? that he still has most of the footage from the run and may or may not get around to it.
      • And then it is mentioned in Can You Beat Fallout 4 With A Rolling Pin? that the run stalled yet again due to Synths and Nerbit switching track to modded Fallout 4 runs under the assumption that the at-the-time upcoming content update would break every mod and a good portion of them would likely never be fixed.
    • Can You Beat Fable Without Taking Any Damage?: While all the footage was recorded, it was never released as Nerbit found the challenge way too easy due to a Game-Breaker spell, and felt it would have made the resultant video boring. Footage would be re-used as a Running Gag in his Can You Beat Fable Without Increasing Any Skills? video.
    • Can You Beat Halo Infinite With Only the Grappling Hook?: While fully recorded as well, this one was shelved because the resultant run was overly passive. He admitted it was almost impossible to commentate over a run of him mostly just zipping past every optional encounter and recommended runs made by other creators instead.
    • Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas While Being Chased By Ringo?: In his own words, it was due to "New Vegas being New Vegas". While Ringo chased the player fine, he was much more easily killed by wildlife compared to other chasers. If he was made immortal, he would always stop chasing after dealing with his attacker. At that point, Nerbit figured it would take a mod to make it work, which he was hesitant to do, and scrapped the run.
    • Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas While Being Chased By Vulpes/an NCR SGT.: These were two joke thumbnails made for fun and were never actually planned to be full runs.
    • Can You Beat Fallout 76 Without Any Weapons?: Despite attempting the run several times, he ultimately found the game boring and skipped it for Starfield runs instead. He used footage from his attempts in his QnA video.
    • Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas While the Whole Map is Flooded?: Simply put, the game would crash every time he left Goodsprings.
    • Can You Beat Gotham Knights Without Taking Any Damage?: While the run was started, it was put on hold due in part to the work needed for Can You Beat The Metal Gear Saga Before The End Dies Of Old Age?. Not only was he burnt out from that run, he ultimately found Gotham Knights extremely disappointing and barely worth making a run on. As for Suicide Squad, which he joked about at the end of that segment, he instead released a review of that game over a run.
    • Can You Beat Elden Ring as Knuckles?: Extreme burnout from playing the game casually four full times upon its release, though he said at the end of the segment that he did plan to return to it at some point.
