Witty, Sarcastic, Intelligent, and Utterly inept, Daniel Hardcastle, better known as NerdCubed (stylized Nerd³), is an up-and-coming Youtube gaming sensation from the UK. A great comic personality and an intellectual, Dan has endeared many fans to him as a result of his gaming videos, which have garnered him a Machinima.com contract. He also vlogs on his second youtube channel. Dan's father will soon be operating a channel of his own, with Dan helping him through the process.
Dan's rise to youtube fame actually began with a Webcomic. The comic was made primarily of screenshots of Minecraft or snapshots of Minecraft character models tweaked with model manipulation software, or on occassion Garry's Mod. The comics themselves actually became fairly popular. Dan still does them, though rarely, as making Youtube videos is a suprisingly demanding profession. Dan eventually discovered youtube a few years back, and became really interested in Gaming Videos.
Soon afterword, Dan created a machinima series called 13 Ways to Die. The series, as it's name suggests, shows 13 unique ways to kill the player character or other characters in a specific video game. The series was quickly popularized, and as a result, Dan began experimenting with commentary videos, and found that the fans loved his commentary. Eventually Machinima.com, who specialize in Machinima videos, discovered Dan, and his series 13 Ways to Die. Realizing quickly that Dan was witty, funny, capable, and enjoyable, Machinima offered him a contract. Dan accepted.
Since then Dan's channel has evolved into a gaming channel in which Dan plays games he's heard of or enjoy that are typically outside the realm of common knowledge. In other words, no, you won't be seeing Dan play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Dan's videos are often editing videos of him being ridiculous and funny. Dan has also started some other series. These include Nerd³ Plays, Nerd³ Completes, and Three Free Games Fridays.
Dan is best described as a chaotic mix between a madman, a gamer, and a jokester. Dan frequently uses sarcastic and random comedy within his videos, and often uses violence as an end to everything. Dan has problems with strategy and tends to just "wing it" whenever a problem arises. He is bored easily and needs near constant entertainment to soothe his destructive tendencies.
Dan is random, and rarely uses logic when problems occur. Dan would sooner detonate a small town to advance than think of a logical way around the obstacle.
