that first one was really hilarious: "A looks like she writes books about lying down on the train tracks" well, seeing as how that's Virginia Woolf, erm.... who's gonna tell him
From Wikipedia Throughout her life, Woolf was troubled by mental illness. She was institutionalised several times and attempted suicide at least twice. According to Dalsimer (2004) her illness was characterised by symptoms that today would be diagnosed as bipolar disorder, for which there was no effective intervention during her lifetime. In 1941, at age 59, Woolf died by drowning herself in the River Ouse at Lewes.

55:41 It seems fair because if you’ve seen any of those leviathans, in-game or not, you’d recognize that most iconic one and thus correctly identify the game which has it.
The answer to your question about when Fallout lost it's edge is after Bethesda bought it. Bethesda fundamentally misunderstands Fallout, so the only game that tries to be a "proper" Fallout game post acquisition was New Vegas, which Bethesda farmed out to Obsidian. This is not to say that the Bethesda Fallout games are bad. They just changed what the games were about in a fundamental way.
27:23 F. I know it because of Schism. A is Metallica and E is Faith No More (oddly enough, I know that because of Epic). And while I've never seen the band Garbage, I knew they were B because the others were Evanescence, Paramore, and No Doubt.
I love when NL plays "identify these sports men" I'm not being sarcastic. I know none of the sports stuff and it's so entertaining for some reason to watch him answer stuff where my best guess on every question is "idk, a guy?"
I'm the same, I know very few athletes, so NL could just give them completely random names and I would just assume he's correct because I have no idea.
Came down to the comments to see how many people were talking about Achilles, was not disappointed. (I've had that sucker cut in half twice, don't recommend it!)
bit of an aside but I just looked up "rook" and the German wikipedia for rooks has an in-depth paragraph about how rook voices are slightly different from all the other raven-like birds. like, my mans gives phonological descriptions of their sounds in different situations and talks about their "jubilant and playful calls" that "tumble down upon you". gotta love the passion on display.
You can tell he didn't finish Hades because he remembered that Charon was the boatman but didn't remember that pomegranates were what bound Persephone to the underworld
When the chess question came up “Man is going to kill this one!” It’s actually a question about birds “he’s screwed”. NL knows a lot of things but animals are not one of them.

I actually knew which one La Sagrada Familia was: it was E. It's a crazy fucking church that has been under construction for 140 years and is at least several more years away from completion (as of 2022).
24:18 I knew it was rook thanks to Pokémon Sword & Shield. The pokémon Rookidee is the first form, followed by Corvisquire and Corviknight. The last two contain the root word corvus which means crow, hence why it had to be rook. Well, and also that the other pieces were a pawn, a bishop, a king, and a knight, none of which make any sense.
Half of chat's "answers" during the video game quiz were completely wrong lol Also I think NL would've gotten a way better score had he seen that the quiz gives you the developer/publisher for each pic
I desperately wish he would just zoom out a bit with these Sporcle quizzes. He's always missing important information and we never get to see the answers at the top
Everyone knows the story of Achilles getting shot in the knee
Some say it happened at the battle of the White-Gold tower during the great war, but I think it happened in a shooting match when they were high on skooma

How do you forget the Reaper Leviathan?
That thing scares the shit out of you even when you know its coming.
Even hearing the words ‘A Mongoose’ gives me online PTSD
Someone may have already said this, but the hybrid creature with wings you were thinking of is a manticore not a chimera
Ah yes, the famous Achilles knee
yea that is what i said or did this MFer really get us with the skyrim arrow to the knee meme?

"Goat is already half-lion!"
Sagrada familia was E and they've been building it for like a century
"Dell Curry? That sounds like something a computer would order for lunch."

"I'm such a gamer" meanwhile literally can't recognize an EarthBound screenshot
the place where they keep ravens is called a Rookery,
That was why I guessed rook as all the others made even less sense. So process of elimination did work :)
I only know about this word because of Final Fantasy 14
NL calling a crowned crane a cassowary sent me
the first 3 seconds is just amazing
I literally clicked because I saw Subnautica and then he couldn't guess it.
"This is mario 64! Even though it's a level I've never seen before!" - literally the outdoor area of the castle that is the intro to ever single playthrough of mario 64
its a blue roof, with the level name "chuckya harbor". its from a mod, which is a weird choice
When I was a kid the butcher's room fucked me up. I would always kite him out immediately so I didn't have to see it much.

because the only one that sounds like a bird name is rook
I really didn't think I'd be hearing NL mispronounce a town twenty minutes away from me today but Drogheda came out of nowhere there
Ah yes, good old Durogeeda.
The clickbait of the title: he does in fact know videogames
"Uncharted: Drake's Fortune... He fights Gollum in that movie?"
I’ve never felt so smug and superior to NL than when NL said he hadn’t heard of a Rook outside of Chess.

Every time I hear Bloemfontein I have to think of ladybeards shower curtain. My brain is so screwed.

Personally, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War: The Golden Circle: Returns: The Lost World is my favorite one
NL doesn't know the chess piece that shares the name with a bird closely related to ravens, you could say that was a... rook-ie mistake
my guy skipped through 300 hours of hades lore and didn't get pomegranate 💀💀
I guess NL never played the card game Rook with a raven looking bird on the box. Fun game btw
Excuse me??
