Nerbit is a Youtube creator well-known for making videos where he attempts challenge runs suggested by his fans in various video games including but not limited to beating Fallout: New Vegas by either killing everything or not killing everything and beating The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim while only using loot from fishing. While nothing particularly new, Nerbit's consistently Dramatic Deadpan commentary and willingness to allow his audience to suggest new ideas has made him one of the favorite "challenger" creators on the platform.His profile description says he lives in North Ireland and derived the name "Nerbit" from the name he gave a Beedrill that stuck with him, so he went with it. He has stated that the late Mitten Squad, a fellow challenger, was a huge inspiration for him to get into making challenge-run videos. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Played for Laughs during when he beat Skyrim as Abraham Lincoln. "Lincoln" had just set down his top hat in his home when he realised that he still had both Elder Scrolls on his person; the Dragon Scroll from the main game, and the Blood Scroll from the Dawnguard DLC. To that end, Nerbit asks his viewers which one Lincoln should read, complete with unlinked videos for each option. As revealed in each one, reading the Dragon Scroll sends him to Starfield and the Blood Scroll to Bloodborne, confirming Nerbit's plans to make an Abraham Lincoln run for both games. | |

Historical Hilarity | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_454057c1 | comment |
Historical Hilarity: An ongoing "series" of videos, including some of the top-rated videos on his channel, consists of creating a character that is an Expy of Abraham Lincoln and finishing a game's main story as such, mostly done in open-world Western RPG games with Character Customization so far. It started with Fallout 3 where the 16th President's signature top hat and repeater rifle were actual in-game items; in other games, he'll either try to find in-game items that resemble them or resort to mods if possible. So far, "Abraham Lincoln" has appeared in: Fallout 3 (twice), Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In every video, "Abraham Lincoln" typically abides by a couple of rules of conduct: he will never tell a lie for good or for bad, and he will free all slaves and destroy all agents of slavery. Nerbit will also sprinkle in one or two real-life facts about the 16th US President in each video, such as how recorded evidence indicates that Lincoln was the one who pioneered the chokeslam technique during his youth as a wrestler with a recorded tally of approx. 300 wins to 1 single loss, or that his mother died during his childhood from drinking cow's milk that had been contaminated by eating poisonous snakeroot. Due to it being requested almost as often as more adventures with "Abraham Lincoln", Nerbit did a "challenge" where he had to beat New Vegas as John Wilkes Booth. Intended as a joke video, it was a little under 3 minutes long whereas most of his proper videos go for longer. The meat of the video's content was simply getting his Expy character, "John Wilkes Booth" to New Vegas and finding the NPC "Abraham Lincoln" in the Tops' in-house theater the Aces, whom he proceeded to shoot in the back of the head with a 9mm pistol. After that, the rest of the video was a sped-up feed of him properly completing the story. | |

99.9% of all challenge runs in Fallout: New Vegas will include his character annihilating the Omertas and purging Gomorrah of its denizens. Initially because he was bored by the quests they offer, now because it would be weird not to. The Railroad incurs a similar response in most of his Fallout 4 runs, mainly because he claims that he finds the faction boring. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The crux of his channel's content as he thinks of, and asks his audience to think of ideas involving video games that in practice, would place some sort of limitation on gameplay he would have to work around to accomplish a set goal, such as beating Skyrim while only attacking by weapon-bashing or beating New Vegas without ever healing. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: This ends up being the case of his video where he attempted to beat Fallout: New Vegas using only items from hollowed-out rock supply caches. Even knowing that it's uncommon for weapons to spawn inside them, after visiting every single hollowed-out rock in the world, Nerbit is forced to end the challenge without ever reaching the final mission as he never finds a single usable weapon, but does get heaps of useless ammo. A more frustrating example occurred when he attempted to beat Fallout 4 using a frying pan as a melee weapon. Nerbit made it as far as building the signal interceptor, after having acquired a useful legendary-effect frying pan. But he ended up getting softlocked by the game itself as a bug occurred where Sturges wouldn't start the required dialogue, no matter what Nerbit did to try and solve the problem (even having to look online for solutions), ultimately forcing him to end the challenge before Act 3 even started. | |

Ink-Suit Actor | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_b8dbbc07 | comment |
Ink-Suit Actor: The popularity of his "Chaser" series in Fallout: New Vegas, where his character would have to complete the game's story while being followed by certain characters who are programmed to continually follow the PC to talk to them, culminated in the character he used to beat New Vegas as a Nuka-Cola superfan being turned into an actual NPC called the Nuka Freak via a mod created by modder TheJournal4, for which Nerbit made a tribute to his work via incorporating the Nuka Freak into a chaser video of its own (though the video was distinctly different from his typical "chaser" formula since the Nuka Freak was programmed not to talk to the PC, rather to kill them, and would also spawn near the PC whenever they went through a loading screen into a new area cell instead of traveling in real-time). | |

Running Gag | |
| Nerbit (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: 99.9% of all challenge runs in Fallout: New Vegas will include his character annihilating the Omertas and purging Gomorrah of its denizens. Initially because he was bored by the quests they offer, now because it would be weird not to. The Railroad incurs a similar response in most of his Fallout 4 runs, mainly because he claims that he finds the faction boring. He also tends to reference the Metal Gear franchise whenever he can, including putting Solid Snake on the thumbnail for his challenge of completing New Vegas while constantly remaining hidden. His fandom for the series ultimately led to him doing the "challenge" of completing every game in the series up to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in a week, as a massive reference to the meta-strategy to defeat the character "The End" in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by saving and waiting a real-life week before reloading the save, whereby he would already be dead of old age. | |
