- Last week we celebrated our 100th episode
of Comic Misconceptions and we made a video
about all sortsa crazy Batman lawsuits and today
I'm hopefully going to answer once and for all
whatever happened to the weekly trivia challenge?
(trumpet and drums)
So, for the 100th episode we had a lot
of submissions and not everybody made it in.
I think less than half of the people actually made it
into the full video and a couple people including NDSB
were wondering if we would ever put out a full length cut
like a director's extended cut of the, of the episode
where it features everybody who sent in a submission.
And I'm not sure if we will do this, I mean we might.
It's not off the realm of possibilities or anything
but I'd like to know if that's something
that you guys would like to see 'cause it is gonna be,
you know work on our part and everything.
So, if it's not something that you wanna see
then we probably won't bother with it
but if enougha you guys do then, yeah we could,
we could probably work somethin' out.
On that same video Kristen Roberts asks the age old question
that many people have asked before her which is
whatever happened to the weekly trivia challenge?
So if you're new to the channel and you don't know
what I'm talking about, way back in the day, the very start
of Comic Misconceptions, we had a segment at the end
of each episode called the weekly trivia challenge
that was dedicated to me just throwin' some fun quick facts
at ya, askin' people a question and I would answer it
in the following video.
Eventually, I had it kind of link up with each episode.
So I would kind of tease the next week's video
with the trivia question so if I'm talking about Batman
for example, I would have a trivia question about Batman
to kind of say like hey,
this is what we'll be talking about next week.
And the problem with that is I would change my mind
very regularly about what video I would do
the following week so we would have stuff
about like hey, I'm gonna talk about Thor this week and
then the next week I'd be like hey, so this is the answer
to the Thor trivia question but we're not gonna talk
about Thor today 'cause that's just,
I wanna, I wanna talk about something else.
So, I don't know, it got kind of weird and chaotic to me.
And also looking at YouTube analytics,
super boring stuff I know, but basically people
were just dropping off at that point of the video anyway.
So that showed me that hey, people probably aren't watching
this part anyway so eventually I got rid of it.
I think twoish years ago, maybe 1 1/2 years ago,
and a lot of people have been asking for it back.
We reintroduced it onto our podcast,
if you didn't know we had a podcast we do.
It's called the NerdSync podcast, very clever name.
And every once in awhile we have full hours
of comic book trivia where we bring in quizzes
and test each other's knowledge about that sorta thing.
It's super fun and actually I'm thinkin'
about doin' something this week.
So today we're tryin' it out on today's podcast episode
where I'm gonna open each episode up with a piece
of trivia that you guys sent in and if you wanna send in
your own piece of trivia, you can do so over
at weeklytriviachallenge.com.
I finally bought that domain name.
Nobody else wanted it apparently.
So that's a lot of information at you.
Hopefully that answers this question
and I can just point people back to this video forever
'cause I still get asked about it.
In the Super Suits video about Batman versus basically lots
of different people, the number one comment I think we got
was about how we showed the wrong sports team
when we were talking about how DC sued a soccer team
and I think that just goes to show
that we're not really sports people
so you'll have to forgive us.
We'll try really hard to make sure
we get our assets correct there.
I can't, I'm just, I find it hilarious that not a single one
of us caught it, so many people watched the video
before it went up and none of us even knew.
So, I can't promise that won't happen again
but we're gonna try really hard to, you know.
I mean it seems simple enough.
Just a simple, you know, simple mistake.
Conor don't worry about it, it's a dumb joke that I
for some reason won't let die, we even have t-shirts
that say it, it's I mean, I don't know why.
And we are going to wrap up this very quick comment video
with some more fan art, which I always like to feature
from you guys, you guys are super talented.
This comes from Tanner on Twitter who drew me
as a cyborg beating up Wolverine.
Not just Wolverine though, beating up Hugh Jackman.
And what I find really interesting about it is
is that this is the second time at least,
where somebody has drawn me as a cyborg.
Which is an interesting theme I, I mean
I'm not gonna fight it, I think it's awesome.
So Tanner, you are getting this week's NerdSync no-prize.
Which again, I cannot stress this enough, means nothing.
But guys I think that's gonna do it for this super short
tales from the comments video.
