I noticed that a lot of you are saying "You should put the protest artwork on a t-shirt!"

[scorcoz]

I love the way Nick pulls that suspenseful thriller narrative outside the SEGA HQ as if he isn't completely aware that not a single person in that building can identify what that distorted to hell image is

[zippy]

This man made a mini Documentary about putting a piece of paper on a wall

[coolbeandip]

The best thing about these videos is how serious he is about the topic. He played suspenseful music as he asked for a pikachu sticker, and he made everyone cry in fear of the thought that he might look at a clock. This guy is my idol

“The thrill was exhilarating”
-Nick after editing a photo that he was told not to

edit: forgot to mention that he flew to japan and called the CEO of pizza to ask why a video was taken down

[ZeroScore]

I hear the best way to avoid getting caught by the Yakuza after a vandalism act of terrorism is to record the entire adventure and put it on the internet. They'll never find you.

[UnwovenSleeve]

"I had to hit SEGA where it hurt"


Oh boy he's gonna go to Japan again isn't he

[fryingpanda]

Nick: *walks up to the airport to get a ticket*

Receptionist: the usual?

[brianmatttokyo]

Nick, I wouldn’t give up on future Monkey Ball editions. SEGA sees too much money in this and we will see full circle from 2001. Postponed a little? Possibly. From what I know and have been in talks...I’m ready for some exciting studio time and a 20 year later recording. All I can say is with gaming on the rise and retro HUGE fans like yourself... Ready GO! Once again ;)

[toptenrodents]

I actually think the little “spot the differences” while you wait for the print to finish is pretty creative and makes the wait a little less infuriating.

[Gabri_Lovecraft]

I thought people were joking about Nick flying to Japan every video.
I was wrong.

[EDoyl]

Blaming the decline on Nagoshi's move from fun monkey games to serious gangster games

While simultaneously transitioning the video from talking about monkey ball to planning and executing a crime.

There's a surprising artistry here.

[nikj]

The dude made sticking a piece of paper onto a building seem like an international war crime.

[dervy]

"Who's creator, with all do respect, looked like he got bit by a Yakuza 15 years ago and started slowly transforming into one."

[MangoMotors]

Next by Nick: "I joined the yakuza to truly understand Yakuza 0" and "I fact check Sega's yakuza connection"

[Bailey_West]

Nick: *places sticker*

Me: “Well, if he is calm and collected, no one will notice and think he’s a terrorist who just planted a bomb...”

Nick: “So I started to *BRISKLY* walk away”

F me dude I couldn’t stop laughing at that

[brianmatttokyo]

I love the rebel sticker. The Japanese do consider it “vandalism” but what the hell. When I was there I had to check to see if there was any tape residue left but didn’t see anything. Oh Nick I love the way you shook Godzilla on this one. Excellent!

[KSupes]

How we wish Sega reacted: Oh no he photoshopped our picture now we make better games!
How they probably reacted: What the fuck is that supposed to be?

[thebenjcrew]

Meanwhile at sega:
“Huh what’s this?”
*takes off sticker*

[MaherandIbrahimsAvengers]

This guy flew to Japan vandalize a copyrighted photo and put it on sega's sign just because of a bad game





Now that's what I call dedication

[keyboyice]

14 minutes in: 'Wow, this video seems like its about to be over, how is there 16 more minutes on this video?'




"So I booked a ticket, and got on a flight to Tokyo."
