Watching him play feels like those ads where the guy keeps going through the wrong gate over and over. But honestly, it makes me want to get the game just to dif him. so gg
I really don't understand his axe placement blindness. He makes a 90 degrees turn and somehow thinks that there is only one place for an axe in there, so he'll spend like 3 blocks to place another.
@@MrMiddleWick This. This right here. Drives me BONKERS when he refuses to have the axes intersect. Like... dude, a 180 turn has FOUR spots for axes! And he still hasn't seemed to have read the text that says Axes are Arcane; Arcane damage crits above 80% health haha
The variety of different ways the human brain can work is so cool. Some people have encyclopedic knowledge of films released before 2000 but cannot rotate shapes
21:21 Him constantly edging the piece back and forth from the correct placement had me screaming in agony. Then I screamed even harder when he didn't place it in the correct spot.
@@mike-yd4pyAs a bloons player I do have to consider that the importance of target priority isn't baked into everyone's mind by default, it takes a lot to realize how good it can be
He really had me going there when he temporarily stopped fixating on forcing them all into one path as early as possible and instead started building a back and forth maze from the fire out. And then since that didn't immediately show results he decides to return to his previous shenanigans that also didn't show results.
Twitch chat is insane. My man made the best maze of his life and people are still treating it as if he is randomly putting blocks like episode 1 of this again. Nevermind couldn't watch after the sequence of events between 21:21 and 22:00
The reason you want to make it squiggly, is to maximise the time that the enemies spend inside your tower range. Long straight lines they just walk out and although they take longer to get to the fire, if you're not doing damage in that time that it doesn't matter. A tower at the end of a 180 can shoot as they approach, all the way around the corner, and then as they leave the other way. If towers have enough range, they can possibly do this for multiple 180s and double their effective damage.
I am just rooting for the enemies here. Because if the game doesn't let him win with his straight "mazes", it means he'll actually have to learn some way if he wants to make any progress.
This series is a great example of how a person can claim that they have learned "to do something", but only think so because they have a false grasp of what "doing that something" really means. Truly a commentary on our society and the frailty of human mind.
Actually becoming furious at the inability to conceptualize a strategic path. Legit just locks off entire swaths of real estate just to make fucking hallways man I cannot.
cleaned out so much shit that had been sitting around for years and then proceeded to watch ryan slowly roll a rock up a hill while talking about how much he loves doing dishes while i did dishes and laughed about it
Honestly he is the perfect guy to advertise a game while playing it. Doesn't matter if it's a sponsored video or not. I can never tell if he's playing like the last neanderthal because he just doesn't care and focuses on chat/his stories or if he really does just zone out and brainfarts his way through. Wether or not it's strategic, it does have a psychological effect.
Chat over here getting mad at sub-optimal maze building when they have sub-optimal back-seating. Quit telling the man to serpentine, tell him to build a Zipper!
Northern just wants them to work on their cardio, makes them take long dubious paths for nothing, while not working to maximize the area of each tower by forcing them around closely cluttered towers, man just wanna build a long path
bought this after seeing NL play it and it's pretty awesome when your blocks, towers, and relics create synergies. win condition is definitely the maze over everything else, all the towers basically do the same thing.
Some advice would be to group up the paths and extending it starting from the fire outward. Getting damage tiles are nice but should not be prioritized, And also not connecting pieces because they waste block spaces that could instead extend the path further. Going for good towers is better than synergies with relics at the start.
Watching nl play is like watching those frustrating ads of people playing bad on purpose and make me want to play the game just to see what a win looks like
To be fair, I doubt he grew up playing flash tower defense games like most of chat/us did. But yeah, watching this video while im used to doing tripple spiral mazes where the enemies have to walk by towers 5 times is a bit mind numbing. Ps: The multiple spiral maze is only possible because the tower defense game i usually play has 2 waypoints the enemy must walk through before going to the end. So you can make multiple paths next to one an other and spiral them around your main path. So they walk next to you tower twice per waypoint (in and out) + once to reach the final destination
Hey Ryan, I dont wanna type A, and also I'm exclusivly a vod goblin, so there's a good chance you already know this by now. But if you didn't, you should consider how your towers are targeting enemies. Posion would be more effective at targeting highest health mobs, so the poison can get spread around, and chip away at everybody at the same time. I had other thoughts, but its all just love and silly games, right? So just do what your vibing lol. Love you bro! ❤
Actually really happy to see this game isn't completely trivial on higher difficulties, easy tower defense games are really boring so I was on the fence about trying out this game considering NL initially beat the game without utilizing any amount of strategy
I bought this game because i was so pissed at how badly he was playing it, he's like the mobile game ads that fail the games on purposes to goat you into doing it yourself except it worked
the single highest selling point this series is making for the game is wanting to buy it just to do it better than NL lmfao (still entertaining to watch don't get me wrong, and also game looks fun, but man dude he be mazing kinda rough)

This series can't be long for this world with chat in full type A mode
UA-cam comments, too.
I try to withhold being a type a commenter but he is pretty dogshit at this game
This such a type C comment
we've found the first type AA game
I just like the car wash
NL driving this games sales through the roof with type a rage.
I bought it yesterday and have 6 hours so far. Loving every minute of it
Unironically bought this games after the first episode because he was playing so badly I had to do better. Genius sales tactic honestly lol
Thats what made me buy Slay the Spire back in the day lmao
Honest to god. I bought it after his first stream after being so annoyed at how bad he was

NEVERMIND SOMEBODY TOLD HIM LET'S GO
NL vs his ultimate weakness: rotating shapes.
The variety of different ways the human brain can work is so cool. Some people have encyclopedic knowledge of films released before 2000 but cannot rotate shapes
Isn't he supposed to be cracked at Tetris? How
21:21 Him constantly edging the piece back and forth from the correct placement had me screaming in agony. Then I screamed even harder when he didn't place it in the correct spot.
OH MY GOD
while he reads a comment about rage bait, couldn't be more perfect
21:05 absolutely losing it while watching him place this piece. DO YOU SEE THE RED LINE
The amount of times he moved the piece up ONE SPACE, almost stumbling into maze territory
it hurt to watch
And then he almost places the dart tower correctly but doesn’t change the target priority to slow the wave. Fml

damn he vastly improved his maze building and chats still mad
edit: i take it back. it was a fluke.
The last maze was ok but it's mainly because chat told him what to do lol
Fr. His 17:40 maze was not bad, but holy christ the following attempt was the worst yet.
series has me turning into the hulk version of a type A chatter
Gotta love him selling a tower, rebuying it somewhere else where it does less damage, and leaving the exact same towers that failed last round
I'm such a Type A Chatter that I bought the game to soothe myself. It took me 4x as long as NL to beat my first run in Normal CAUGHT

RIP Emberward and all future TD games, "serpentine as uncooked spaghetti" he aint gonna put up with that
you were right :(
Fine, I’ll maze it myself.
15:24 Roast him chat. Failing to path a Hilbert curve using the three or four irregular pieces available each turn. smdh.
He's not doing horribly but he could be doing so much better. He just legitimately doesn't understand that a straight line is not a maze lol
@@guinea_horn you are the person this guy's talking about
@@guinea_horn big zig zags perpendicular to the direct path to the goal is pretty optimal, even if it has straight lines
The railing builder has logged on. Backseaters create obstacles. Heroes build barrier-free.
IVE JUST REALISED WHAT SOUND I RECOGNISED FROM THE TURRETS BEING PLACED IS AND ITS THE 20 MINUTES TILL DAWN LEVEL UP SOUND
I actually love you playing this game. You are bad at it and it makes for the funniest content. Straight mazes for life.

This is great advertisement, since now I want to buy the game and make an actual maze just to prove to myself it's possible

all the guns in fps games do basically the same thing its about the feel man
@@KavsLockedOut so true. they look really cool too. the giant dice tower just brings me joy.
OK fine, I'll make the straightest line possible
man makes a scenic walking route and calls it a maze
No more emberward? 😢😢
Hey NL changing tower priority is a huge game changer
just took tramadol, this was more painful than kidney stones.
Twitch frogs, is there going to be more ember ward?
He's learning!
NL plays this game like one of those ragebait advertisements for mobile games where they intentionally fail.
I've never seen this game and NL is fighting the good fight against Mexican avocados.
NL's misplays have made me buy so many games and we love him for it

I like that the first bit immediately circles back to fruit discourse from the first episode
At least he's having fun

i have to say im kind of over the whole "playing the game as poorly as I can so you get frustrated and play it yourself" shtick
Watching nl play is like watching those frustrating ads of people playing bad on purpose and make me want to play the game just to see what a win looks like
Fruit talk and Emberward, a perfect combo

your blocks can touch the fire pit, try it
😏
Whoever invented and implemented "stable volume" feature is my saviour.
Before watching: impossible, he's actually going to make mazes???
*picks starter deck with all cards >3 squares* “Give me the tome of the endless” this game is turning me into a type A chatter
Good to see the grocery store fruit discourse is still ongoing. We really need to get to the center of this.
“Don’t build flamethrowers early” oh no
Bro has to be cashing in on the dunning Kruger effect! Ain't no way he thinks he's building mazes! How?
I wonder if his mind could handle playing Gemcraft? Imagine him trying to build mazes AND combine colors together!
it is funny how people's brains have different strengths. edit : i can't watch these because it physically hurts to see you place things.
NL: I've added a full 180 degree turn. My maze is complete.
backseating hell
Me when the only avaliable jobs are labyrinth construction
for the love of all eggheads out here keep playing this game its so fun to watch!!!!!!!!!!!
I look forward to videos of this game coming out. Loving this
Been loving this series! ❤️

i love this series it's so funny read comments and listen to the banter and watch him fail over and over
13:14 why on earth did he place a block there instead of creating a U shape
I like this series because I sometimes feel bad watching the dles and feeling like NL is way smarter than me
Its as serpentine as uncooked spaghetti... LOL
I did not expect him to sing breadcrumb trail
Actually really happy to see this game isn't completely trivial on higher difficulties, easy tower defense games are really boring so I was on the fence about trying out this game considering NL initially beat the game without utilizing any amount of strategy
Me when I own pet mice
Type A chatters when simply enjoying the game walks in:
I hope chat backseating doesn’t make him quit this game early.
It did
As a former store worker usually they don’t purchase the inventory
35:36 I'm crying he evicerated that man
I don’t know why I felt that after multiple episodes of this NL would develop some spatial reasoning
the backseating on this one is probably unbearable but i enjoy the series so far. hope to see more of it!
Sometimes you can just tell when someone didn't grow up playing Line TD and Gem TD on Warcraft3 for 6 hours a day
The second maze was pretty good…
The banter for me thinking: a supermarket rouge like.
nl playing like the guy in the mobile game ads but this game is super fun
Dude fuck type A killing this game 😢
Ohhh this is a great game, glad to see you're not letting us down NL. I've been dipping my toes
I was yelling dice dice dice this whole time!
Type A Chatter spotted
NL is coconut posting, eggbros feeling hella betrayed
I bought this game because i was so pissed at how badly he was playing it,
he's like the mobile game ads that fail the games on purposes to goat you into doing it yourself except it worked
just another game that I have to buy myself so I can try everything that I thought he was doing wrong in the video
We're Maze guys of course we Labyrinth
Bro would NOT survive in a zombie apocalypse 😂
Really hipe NL plays bloons, think that'd be a lot of fun
This is so frustrating to watch that I need more videos to watch him slowly improve
the single highest selling point this series is making for the game is wanting to buy it just to do it better than NL lmfao (still entertaining to watch don't get me wrong, and also game looks fun, but man dude he be mazing kinda rough)
Not gonna lie, it's pretty interesting how someone can lack even the most fundamental reasoning skills and still be somewhat successful.
