UPDATE: The video has been set to private as we make a few important changes. It'll be back up soon.
UPDATE 2: It's back up!
Here it is! The last video from #Batober! We're discussing why Batman gave up guns, as well as his rule against killing.

This is the first and only one of our videos to hit over 1 million views... and it's terrible! Let's take a look. Or not.

Meant to upload this on Wednesday, but here is the entire cut section of the script from the Bat-Signal video! I also read it out in the above audio file. Enjoy!
If you believe that his inventions actually worked, then it’s easy to see that Harry Grindell Matthews was ahead of his time. And that was precisely the problem. In a joint interview between Steven Johnson, author of Where Good Ideas Come From, and Kevin Kelly, author of What Technology Wants, they ex...

Here's a brand new Alter Ego answering the widely debated question: Just how am I supposed to be pronouncing Ra's al Ghul??? Hope you like it!
And as always, thanks so much for supporting and sharing our videos!

We're continuing #Batober with the surprising and fascinating history about a real-life mad scientist who inspired the creation of the Bat-Signal! Enjoy!
And, of course, thanks for being Patrons!

The audio quality in this is terrible because technology hates me. Either way, let's see what you guys had to say about last week's videos!
Also, let me know what you think about pulling comments directly from Patreon for these videos. It's an idea I'm toying with.

(too long; didn't listen)
We're finally building our very own website! We just need your help and creative ideas to tell us how it should be. Let us know in the comments any ideas you have for the site, no matter how crazy and/or ambitious!
Listen to the full audio log above for more info. Thanks!

Hey, gang! We're closing in on the half-way point of the month, and I wanted to clarify some of the reward tiers, and when you can expect to receive certain rewards like the NerdSync No-Prize.
YOUR NAME IN THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR VIDEOS
I have gone ahead and updated the past two weeks worth of videos to include the names of our Level #2 and up Patrons. If you don't see your name, it's possible that you didn't 2016-10-14 20:29:34 +0000 UTC View Post
We're bringing you another video commentary today! Dylan and I discuss what it was like to have him host a video on the NerdSync channel, and a bunch of other things. We recorded this a while ago, so I already forgot the extent of what we talked about, but I'm sure it's great! Or terrible. I don't know. Find out!

I love making these theory videos! To continue with #Batober, here's my analysis of how Two-Face's coin toss system of justice is rigged! Let me know what you think in the comments.
And hey, you look nice today :)

A day late, but here's a new comment response about your thoughts on Batman being a superhero vs hero!

Time for another commentary video! Hope you're enjoying these! Last year, we did an Avengers month (similar to the Batman month we're doing right now). If you recall, we had a bit of a snag in the programming. I published a Tie-In, only to take it down a few hours later. This commentary will tell you what happened behind the scenes!

Hey everyone! Got an exclusive listen for you today. This is the full 30-minute interview with Dr. Robin S. Rosenberg, co-editor of the book What Is a Superhero? We used snippets of this interview in our video from yesterday, but there's SO MUCH more we talked about! The perspective of villains, what qualifies as a superpower, and even how she got started writing and editing all these brilliant (and nerdy) books.
Take a listen!
I should have sent this out a few days ago, so apologies for that. As part of our $3+ reward tier, you get your name in the description of our new videos! Simply fill out this form here so I can update the latest video with your name!

A day late, but the video is finally up! This one was super fun to make. I sat down with clinical psychologist Dr. Robin Rosenberg to discuss what makes a superhero... a superhero? And more importantly, does Batman count, or is he simply a hero? I hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it!
This also marks the first video for which your pledges will be collected. Hope things go smoothly, and thanks so much for supporting what we do!

For another commentary video, we're going all the way back to the very first episode of Comic Misconceptions to see how terrible it was. Spoilers: It's garbage.
Hope you like these commentary videos! If you have a video you want us to talk about, let us know in the comments! And thanks so much for being Patrons!
Here's a video of our panel at Retropalooza. Sorry about the audio. We didn't check the levels before we recorded, so it turned out pretty not great. Hope you like it regardless!

Hello Patrons new and old! We've got a new video for you today about Legends of Tomorrow and how they handle the problem of free will. It was supposed to go up yesterday, but apparently it was predetermined to be late. Don't blame me! I don't have free will! Haha

It's been a big day here at the Patreon, so I figured I'd give you guys something fun to sit back and watch! Normally, these commentaries will only be available for Patrons pledging $3 and up, but here it is for all you lovelies anyway!
We're talking about the X-O Manowar video we did that took a TON of work on the animation side of things, for very little reward as it's one of our least popular videos. But hey, we knew that going in, and we still wanted to make it! Hope you like t...

It's happening! We're about to switch over our Patreon from a per-month model to a per-video model. This change means that you may need to alter your pledge so we don't overcharge you. Watch the video above to see exactly how to do that!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns down in the comments below. And as always, thank you for supporting what we do!

WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT IT MEANS?
In case you missed it, our Patreon is changing from the pledge-per-month model to the pledge-per-video model. Here's what that means for you!
First of all, we will not be charging you for EVERY video we publish. Only new episodes of Comic Misconceptions that come out each week. This will provide us with more accountability and transparency. You will be able to see exactly where your money is going.

Hey, everyone! First of all, we rearranged all of our reward tiers last night. Make sure you take a look at them and make sure you are in the tier you want to be in. Do whatever is comfortable for you, whether that means dropping down to a lower one or moving up to a higher one. We haven't changed over to a per-video model yet. That'll be happening within the next few days as soon as we get everything settled. Thanks for bearing with us!
On to the main course! Here's a new reward tier we w...

Hey gang! Firstly, thanks so much for being a NerdSync Patron and supporting the videos and podcasts we make each week. You don't have to be this generous, but it's so overwhelmingly awesome that you are!
I want to talk with you about some changes we may or may not implement on our Patreon page. For starters, you are currently supporting us per month, which is awesome, but I think changing it to per content would be even better for everyone involved. For example, if we charge you fo...

This video about killed me. It's almost 20 minutes long, involves multiple Scotts, and required a TON of research into Marvel back in the 90s. All in all, it's one of the best videos we've ever made, and I hope you dig it! :)

I cut a lot out of each script, but it shouldn't go to waste! So, here's an excerpt from a Killing Joke video that never made it into the final cut. Enjoy!
