"It has a circular range." -NL describing every tower in the game save one.

His first run was looking so good, then after he let oogie run through him the regression into more=better is unreal. At least it's entertaining to see

"The movies are designed to elicit emotion. It's not you against the filmmaker. You and the filmmaker are working together to feel something that is hard to experience in your everyday life." - NL, 49:02

My favorite thing is listening to another NL podcast episode that has some gameplay behind it and then checking the comments to see all the people triggered about the gameplay

20:11 Had me ROFL. Praise Ooogie and pay out the doubters

When you have a spot that touches two houses, you get the econ boost from both with a single tower. You should prioritize those. They also pay for any tower, so a mortar would work as well.

Adding the cross bows around the houses on turn one will give you 210 gold per tower by round 20 and 1035 gold per tower by round 45

Northernlion idk if you'll ever see this but I just want to tell you what a difference you've made in my life. You bring joy to my days with your videos and without them I would be a different person. Your so close to 1 mil and I'm just so happy for you because you deserve it and so much more. Keep up the amazing work.

Literally plays video games for a living: ✔️ Plays video games in his free time: ✔️ NL's verdict: I'm not a gamer.

Real Civil Engineer probably designed that first map, it was a VERY strong shape

First bacta, now ballista. This man is on his sicko arc 😳

Who is telling him not to do progress for flame tower??? That's literally the BEST to target, as long as you position the flame tower down a straight path it'll hit everything in that path nonstop.

Great game, would love to see more

*NL during the Benjamin Button bit* "if Benjamin Button is your favorite movie I can put it past you" *NL upon hearing that Benjamin Button is someone's favorite movie* "fuck you"

Watching egg let the boss walk right into his tower hurt! Why did he wait so long to do anything

For reasons beyond human comprehension, Melon will place his towers on a +2 where they can only hit one track anyway instead of a +1 that will hit both tracks

I will never understand why he chooses to make the shield specialized ballistas after his kill zone. Like there's literally no point, they should be the first group of towers so the rest only hit HP

I can see myself watching 30+ episodes of this easily

I'm convinced NL plays badly on purpose to make viewers buy the game out of pure frustration

Imagine complaint about not getting a split before turn 10, that runway is great.

Also that story you told at 57:00 was immaculate encapsulation of that experience. I've had this experience so much in my life "not particularly with grocery stores or clerks" where I've been in the the vicinity of someone else's frustrations and I get the flak from it :'( It's a very hard experience to describe in words most of the time, because of all the context needing to be involved. lol It never gets to me, but it does happen. I'm so glad you had that anecdote to share!

This is some of the strongest hubris I have ever seen. Literally thousands of people telling him what works and he’s just like. “No. I’d rather die than do what works. And I think I’m right.”

Great vid as always would love to see more Rouge Tower in the future!!

NL once you hit 250-300 for a ballista it really becomes more economically viable to upgrade towers rather than place new ones

Loving these tower defense games!

Flame towers and Poison towers should actually be on Progress. Put them on a turn, looking down a long straight of road. This way, in shooting the most progressed, it shoot the entire line of enemies. Source: Dude, just trust me.

I think he should expand his turrets further lol. He gets so focused in the first good choke point near home instead of making a log of good chokes. He even calls out good choke points that spawn then never places towers there lol

The story at 58:00 would have made me absolutely livid if I was egg in that situation. So many incompetent people thinking others are the ones fucking up.

Ooogie smash into NotLikeThis had me rolling on the floor

The fact that this man doesn't just buy chuck and let it *stew* for 6 hours to get an amazingly delicious beef stew upsets me.

Idk why but I'm loving this series and look forward to it on a daily basis

The Oogie death was sooo preventable. That one definitely hurt me

With the flame throwers, I think the best setting is furthest, because it would imply that there are other units in between the flamethrower and the target to get hit

when you have a path that loops back, put ballistas between the two paths so they fire on both sides

Ok i laughed. You got me at the end. You area a funny guy!

When picking new cards to unlock options, please make sure to pick actual cards that count. I.e. not the blue ones. Also, flame throwers don't benefit from a bend in the road. Teslas and frost towers do, because they target all around, but flame throwers target in a straight line, so at the end of a long stretch is best position for them.

loving this series

Seeing the double house with no building hurt

This is like anti-issac, instead of listening to the banter like a podcast I'm sucked into the mechanics, even if the banter is "most shields, most health, progress. Oh I forgot about Oogie"

Frost/ Nixon was in fact an Incredible film. Watched it once and then convinced the wife to watch it as well who also thought it was very well done. Provided a younger audience, who mostly had little knowledge of the Nixon debacle, a much needed history lesson.

25:00 well damn, that's me

I wish he would discover Astronarch. The graphics make it seem like a flash game, but it's soo good and mechanics driven.

NL that gold ding you hear is really from the frost tower hitting enemies if you move the map away you may not hear it

I still can't get over this bonkers and outstanding music. There isn't any sense to it. It's maniacal and tremendous.

Please give us more of this!

This game is super enjoyable

26:31 oh boi I can't wait for plumber/electrician banter part 2 😹

Use tezla towers, placed on +3 roundabout and upgrade it continously..

I love this series

Totally on NL's side about needing to get the product numbers in the bulk section. Some people act like their incompetency is everyone else's problem and it's rude. Not on his side about his choice of meat for a stew. Is he not cooking it long enough for a different cut to get tender? Never let this man make beef stock.

Look I'm a tower defense specialist. And from time to time I will recommend people add ballistas to improve and salvage their gameplay. But the truth is it never works .

pogged for another hour of juicy banter

44:26 best moment

My new favorite NL quote, "I was like 7pm dinner, what the heck... it's so late."

It amazes me how horrendous NL is at every game yet finds a way to justify it over and over and somehow I'm still invested.

Why would you not add a canon at the back, to target them when the slow fields have clumped them all up?

58:35 @Northernlion they only do the thing where they add everything manually for you in the self check if AP (Asset Protection) tells them to because they think your stealing

54:45 had me dead 💀

Here for the Frost/Nixon praise. Love that movie.

Hey one thing you gotta understand about shields and armor is that you want them to be stripped first and then have towers to kill the health later. A tower that's good against armor or shields should never be close to your main tower because if enemies got there with armor or shields you're doing something wrong.

Slow Balista + Priorities set to fast = op

Not-A-Gamer-NL: “I game for work. Do I play games for enjoyment in my free time? Yes. Do I enjoy games? Yes.”

How'd you let Oogie do you like that man

Maybe I just got great RNg, but today is my second day playing this game and I got from round 26 (my previous PB) straight to round 45. Honestly suprised by how little lag I saw in those later rounds when shit started hitting the fan... this game is great!! and I think it still has content for me, seeing as I have yet to unlock everything or beat 2/3 path mode.

The drums go so hard in this game LoL

NL: [Builds 80 level one balista] Also NL: "It's too much effort to upgrade things, I don't want to click the button so much"

NL, you should definately spam all the houses at the start, it's 100% worth it

I wonder if the mana siphon counts as a building next to a house. Also since he had bleed and burn on his ballistas he def should have staggered priority.

"Many of us are probably at work right now." +2

doubt you will see this but to place towers faster you can hold shift down and click and it auto put the tower you were placing there again

Charge your pogtonium beams with me, brothers and sisters, for the day Egg meets BIG BRAIN OOGIE

Oh this looks good!

Did he just say he wasn't a gamer?! Lmao "I just play games for a profession"

Honestly S tier 2022 NL content, only beaten out by SAP of course

Funny that Neymar's steam nicknamed used to be "batman loko" (crazed batman)

Oof, those empty double-house-spots right at the spawn while keeping a gigantic pile of unspent coins... that really hurts. Come on, man, this game does not have a passive interest thing rewarding unspent resources - literally the opposite is true (spending a bit early on some house-ballistas pays you back every round). I am, however, happy that he didn't immediately build large camps of +1 and +0 ballistas. Never mind he spends that other run later just sitting at thousands of gold building +1 tower camps yet again.

Classic grocery store story, glad you where chill about it though. Nice guy.

The longer the video goes on, the more phallic the map becomes.

Only NL could play videos for 8 hours a day and not consider himself a gamer. Plus, he says pog out loud.

Please let there be more of this

i KNOW chat was lightin him up for picking frost keep and not poison sprayer

Should of put the shield specializors in front since it comes before health

that first run man lmaoo

The craziest thing is NL goes to a store where you literally have to type in the barcode manually.

27:40 Logic: 1. Lets build tower by the houses to have more income and stable economy - NO! 2. Lets BET on banditry so we can earn 2+ gold everykill and maybe die to 3 hits in our tower, cause Betting is way better

49:01 damn ... that was some quality insight outta nowhere dude E: Bro watching him hold 8000 bucks and then blow it all on poorly thought out upgrades just hurts my soul dude

The drums were definitely programmed by a guitarist. "Velocity at 127 at all times!"

Pog content, I like the red ballistas

"...No" I'm rolling

It gets addicting, high potential

The target stuff should but a openable drop down, it’s too many options for just clicking through, would lead to smoother gameplay and quicker priority changing. Hope this game keeps improving, I like the vibe of it.

Why does this game's soundtrack go so hard

the music of this game reminds me so much of Isaac

oogie crushed my soul

I want this music as a stand alone thing. The game is awesome, but the music is fucking amazing for being so simple.

balista spam actually got me to around round 26 its cracked man

I wish this games soundtrack was on Spotify.

Should've just placed more mortars especially when the enemies were all clustered due to slowing effects. Not to mention the armor guys were the real problem at the end.

>panic buys upgrades when enemies get too far >half of the upgrades are to shield damage when there are no shield enemies >??? >profit

Who's gonna tell him upgrades> number of towers
