"I'm a genius!"
*Big Brain Oogie spawns a bunch of enemies right before reaching the tower*
"Oh no!"
"My tower!"
"It's broken!"
perfect chain I thank the two people who brought me immense joy
you know the egg has cracked when he starts calling mortars ballista and bisons buffalo
Also constantly confusing mana banks with universities. He even makes a joke based on his skewed perception of reality (1:00:40 "now this is a campus" when placing mana banks)
There's a mod that adds a speed up button, highly recommended
good pfp
Men of culture
And shorten the length of these godsend videos?! ARE YOU INSANE?!
@@johnfergeson8609 he is right. That mod is a must need for people that play, but you’re absolutely right too; I need these hour long videos lol.
good because the dev said he would never add a speed up button, or add the ability to mass-upgrade or mass-change targeting on towers
Omg NL being a biology major makes so much sense. Bio is just all just memorizing random trivia.
He also took a pop music class that covered 90s and 00s, if I remember right
@@MajorasWrath1 I'm sorry what?
@@hadisyuaib8613 I remember him mentioning a single time that he took a pop music class in university. Maybe it was a joke but I'm certain his tone meant he was just talking about his life and not doing a bit. NL took a 90s-00s pop music class in university.
This man constantly putting his shredders at the very start of the path is going to give me a stroke xD
But he expands near them, so it makes sense
Theres merit to having them early and late. If you have them at the very start of a path, you have the bleed ticking right away, so any additional towers don't have to worry about regen'ing hp. If you have them later in the path, the blade can cleave more of the path. I think the correct option is a mix of both. I would still lean towards closer to your tower because the shredders are HP focused, so you'd rather have some time for shield and armor stripping to happen first.
Yeahm I think the humble level 1 ballista with "slow" is the best tower to put near the start. Shredders should be plached away from merges because many sawblades take the wronh turn. Also, sawblades tend to disintegrate after hitting X enemies, so putting them as close as possible to the fort isn't necessary.
as you approach the end of the game, you'll get nothing but portals, because every path will be terminated with a portal by the time you start the final wave.
you mean like in the video?
@@Blaurot yea, the comment was specifically targeted at NL repeatedly saying "woah another portal"
I don't know whether they patched that out, but it was possible to get less than the usual number of portals. I had one extreme game where the path never branched and then spiraled in till it only had room for 1 portal and from there on all the enemies were coming out of that one portal.
You don't have to click on "expand" anymore, logically, since there is nothing to expand and instead the new round just starts automatically once you selected your upgrade.
It was the easiest game ever, since pretty much all my longer ranged turrets could hit every enemy from the moment they came out of the portal. And I didn't even have the Radar unlocked yet.
I think it was my 9th or 10th time playing the game and it was fun, but it also made me melancholic because I feel I encountered "peak good luck" that early and I will probably never see such a thing happening again.
I had one more though where I only ended up with 4 portals.
@@TrangleC yea that still exists, sometimes the map just backs itself into a corner and terminates early. But beyond that, there isn't actually a set number of portals. I've had a map branch like 5 times, and I've had a map branch 10+ times
Spoilers:
That's actually what the 1 secret achievement is; have the map completely block itself off. I do not have this achievement :(
me - Wow, NL always seems so put together, how is he a youtuber when he seems like a mature person?
NL - I wear the same pants for 10 days
oh
Yo don't slam re-wearing pants. It makes them last longer
@@Dpom3r Yeah, I re-wear most of my clothes 2 or 3 times before washing. 10 times is... kinda gross IMO.
@@agstah depends on how you do it, but presuming you wear underwear, jeans could manage that.
mans an air fryer king, you know he's blasting those jeans with pungent butt gust. after 10 days they definitely need a wash lmao
@@Psychobum91932 lmaoooo youre hell for this
He in fact has never been past this point until now.
Same
The scholarship perk gives +3 to all studies to all universities. If the series continues this might be a good investment to watch out for
I find universities a waste of time and money, at least at the lowest difficulty level. I haven't played the 2 and 3 paths yet, but the basic 1 path game is getting boringly easy once you figure out what to do and if the map generation doesn't totally screw you. I guess the university bonuses might stack up nicely if you could get them sooner, but at the time when you find the first spot to put them, the game is kind of over and you got so many upgrades on your turrets that the stuff you get from the universities doesn't really do much anymore.
36:14
Remember, the best tower is the one that's actually placed and doing damage.
The +6 spots should always be occupied with something. Remember that you can always get a gold refund on a tower, at the cost of exp. If you haven't upgraded with gold, you lose nothing, so you're allowed to change your mind later.
I have never previously seen this man exist at the point at which he is currently existing
"Its abstracted factorio" They hated him because he spoke the truth
I can't believe his chat was so selfish and didn't warn him about protecting close to the tower!!! You can't just put anyone at goalie!
to be fair someone told him to sell everything behind the brain and defend close to tower and he explicitly ignored it xD
@@flamtzer Classic egg hubris
@@flamtzer I know it is hypocritical of me after making the original comment, but I also refuse to sell and replace. It feels cheesy, if my defenses aren't good enough to beat the brain without selling and replacing then I don't feel like I won
@@Mijal15 Totally fair, It was mostly that he did get advice for reinforcing the closer areas of the tower 😅
Someone in chat told him to do exactly that at the end of lvl 43 lmao
It's great watching all of the poison, bleed, and fire dots quickly tick away all of their health. They make a huge difference!
The length to which he's been has never been achieved before (personally).
I just ate a slim jim for the first time in like 15 years, out of pure curiosity, and now I feel the same as NL does about pork belly haha. Maybe mine was more obvious though
It’s wild how you can go 15 years without eating something and then go back to it having a completely different taste/outlook.
Slim jims are just CAKED in oil, I had one not too long ago and it was like eating food court pizza.
I love these videos, except the parts when you zoom in an back out immediately
I’m laughing, as I read that he was doing it very rapidly 😂
He's a TWITCH streamer on so many levels ;)
They need to add a Egg Tower
NL, if you cant be bothered to level every tower when it gets cheap enough, going for "quality over quantity" helps mitigate that problem slightly, as it will passively increase damage as they level up
no. only ballista spam and then complaining about how there are too many ballistas to upgrade
I think a good QoL update for this would be able to save preset target priorities for towers. So right when you buy a mortar, for example, it will be MA, MH, Slowest by default.
Many people are saying this
So true
With all these loops you'd think NL would be some kind of loop hero
Sadge
I think a "select all (tower name)" and being able to change to somthing would go a long way for this after you get far enough
He’s never been this far
certainly never been further
egg when he's never been this far:
True, pretty true
Many people are saying this
Hi, I'm a full time chef and I work part time in a Ramen Bar on the weekends!
Chashu is pork belly that is braised in a combination of soy sauce, ginger, star anise, sake, black pepper and garlic. The liquid helps to carry away the extra fat, and keeps it from getting too crispy!!
Chat audit = social credit system.
Wants entire history of someone who slights you. = I'm an authoritarian please never give me any power.
I like how he straight up refuses to sell the towers behind big brain ooogie
Nah he just doesn’t want to interrupt the flow of the game
honestly at this point i just watch NL for the movie recommendations
That Monkey D. Luffy comment got me good
29:52
"Chat: My parents have been bothering me for three weeks [...]
NL: [...] Honestly, you need some poison!"
Wait, what? That doesn't sound like good advice...
When NL spends 7000 upgrading a Tesla Coil to double its damage rather than buying another one for 350.
Yeah, that's one of his biggest faults. One tower at level 30, another ten at level 1.
I'm pretty sure that the part where it takes the ents ages simply to decide that Merry and Pippin aren't orcs was not a joke. It was a demonstration of why so many ents had turned into trees and also of the fact that magic was slowly leaving Middle-Earth.
oh man.. 1.5 hours of sheer procrastination thank you nl
Insane take on the pork tenderloin. I feel like he has never had one prepared well.
i mean he said it tasted good but he doesnt like how greasy the cut of meat is
@@WizardWizard680 I don't want to be the "Just cook it well 4Head" but the ones I have had definitely were not greasy at all
@@WizardWizard680 tenderloin isn't greasy. It's insanely lean which is why it can be difficult to cook properly. He was complaining about his pork belly being greasy. Pork belly is an extremely, extremely fatty cut.
The end was so expected but still so tragic and frustrating, I almost think he did it for content, which if he did Im mad
Love that he always goes for the same strat every run
i'm waiting for multi-lanes and other towers
Bro me too
What does that mean
@@luke_222 game has multiple gamemodes with two or three paths leading away from your base. NL has never played those
27:08 I'm glad NL shares my frustration with the ents. It's even worse in the book because the descriptions go on and on and on and on while nothing happens.
They may be wise but they are pretty dumb. No wonder the ent wives left them. Can't imagine having a husband so stupid and slow all the time.
I routinely rewatch the entire trilogy, and there's only two spots that I fast forward through. You better believe one of them is almost the entire Ent sequence up until Treebeard exits the forest. And in the book there's so much of treebeard's songs and they're so LONG.
Nausea comes on strong when he suddenly zooms in at maximum speed
Thats a sad pork tenderloin opinion, you mist not have had a good one
exactly what I said
he puts beef tongue over pork tenderloin
Poison Sprayers are amazing. Get the poison perks which slows down enemies. Set the sprayer to target fastest, most armor, progress. Shreds everyone. Pair it with a flame thrower right next to it targeting least shields, most armor, progress. Then place a shredder a little bit down the path. The sprayer and flamer will strip off all the shields and armor. The shredder will wipe everyone else out. If you start with one path, just reinforce the hell out of everything before it splits. Placing a tower out in BFE doesn't help at all, unless it can target everyone. Maybe mortars out in the outback. But the sprayers shred so hard.
I didn't understand the meaning of "pretentious" until I saw the Muppet Show episode in which Miss Piggy said, "Pretentious? Moi?!"
i've watched a couple rogue tower vids from other creators and they all said at some point "i'm putting these ballistas on the houses not cause it's worth it but because if i don't i get flamed in my comment section"
It is actually worth it, though. A ballista on a house generates ~900+ gold over the course of the game, can be sold at any time to recoup the current ballista price, and ALSO shoots enemies.
and ALSO _slows_ enemies if you get that card, which is the most important ballista card
@@achtsekundenfurz7876 If you don't upgrade them, they won't be applying a whole lot of armor/shield slow until they've been around for a long time to level. But in general, yeah.
Most important ballista card is the new Range+2 card, tho'. What a boss.
Wait, isn't the slow effect 5% per hit? That wouldn't depend on damage at all - but range would be a good addition anyway, to give the ballistas additional opportunities to attack before the enemy can move out of range.
@@achtsekundenfurz7876 No, it's 5% of damage. Max slow is 60, so a ballista doing 1200 damage will slow them completely on the first hit.
If you ever want a crazy taste experience, get the golden bbq wings from wings over with a grape soda.
chashu isn't boiled. but it is cooked in sauce. which you should be doing anyway because it benefits every single cut of meat to do so. or at least cook it with sauce
For 10 universities a 1% chance for each university gives you around a 10% chance per wave of getting an upgrade. After 5 waves, that's a ~50% chance of getting an upgrade, for each of the upgrade types. So yes NL that 1% chance matters.
Math: (1-(0.99)^10)*5 = 0.48 which is 48%
A couple of suggestions Egg you can press 1 2 and 3 to upgrade towers now. And when building multiple of the same tower hold in SHIFT so you don't have to click each time.
A bunch of balistas would've done wonders here
Imagine buying a pork tenderloin, and not slow-cooking it soaked with a beer, creating pulled pork.
One of the recent updates added the ability to hold Shift to place multiple towers :D
If you think pork tenderloin is bad, you're a bad cook. Sear that baby and throw it in the oven, make a pan sauce with cream and mustard. Delish
Are you aware he's talking about pork belly?
@@journeysa he mentions pork belly, pork chops, and pork tenderloin. Are you aware he knows the difference between these cuts of meat and specifically says pork tenderloin is bad? He was mainly talking about pork belly, but he said it was too greasy/oily, not bad
@@bluething1429 All I remember is his talking about the belly. But, if I missed all this, then I apologize! I'd double check, but I'm not going through an hour and a half video for this.
that luffy noodle joke was so good
I've noticed a trend where NL is on top of shield and armor damage but almost entirely ignores the fact that every enemy has health and you do need to do damage to health as well.
its also the type of pork belly it is. you want a lean pig for prok belly
Ryan, if you are a man of the slow cooker or instantpot, then chashu is not out of your reach. It takes about as much time as roasting, a few days and with a marinade a chashu is way more tolerable grease wise.
Try boiling pork belly before drying it out over night. It will help significantly reduce fattiness from the pork belly when making crispy pork
You know i just started this game yesterday and I've already cleared it* had to edit. Come on man you got this.
"I learned many skills at university that transfer into my current career. Like.... ... ... ... ... ... ...'
pork tenderloin is amazing when cooked right. i cook it low and slow for about 6 hours and it ends up like butter in your mouth.
Thank god he got the slowing card on the poison sprayers because he didn't realize their damage was the only thing separating him from annihilation by shielded units.
I eat porkbelly for christmas every year, sometimes i make it in autumn as well. Best food ever by far imo, i could eat it once a week but my heart would become a ball of grease
NL- the man with the worst pork tenderloin take
That pork tenderloin take might be your worst ever
NL Doesn't know how to marinate pork tenderloins properly
Universities can be ridiculously OP with some luck and a lot of investment. I had a game where I had around +80 combined to bonus health/armor/shield damage by the time I hit wave 45. My towers were deleting everything.
He should have listened when chat said to rebuild the towers farther back lol
Holy cow you're almost at a million. Congrats, and keep it up. You are an inspiration.
You dont need to sell towers and rebuild closer, personally I just build a bunch of encampments close to the tower so they have time to build up a ton of mines, it's hillarious when they're upgraded and blow up literally everything that even comes close >
The ending we all wanted
On the subject of Isaac speed runs, I used to love watching 7-character speedruns on the original Isaac, and then 10 character speedruns for Rebirth. Often this meant you couldn't reset for the best items on any character except for the first because the timer keeps going in between characters. I remember a time when 7 character/10 character runs took up the majority of streams in the Isaac community, and I think it's far preferable to the classic Isaac speedrun, otherwise known as "reset for Epic Fetus."
Though I say this as someone who fell out of the community a number of years ago.
So close! Greatly enjoying the content on this game, hope you keep it up! 😁
The scrotal callous joke killed me
What sense does it make to build two universities at the occult place, upgrade 1st to 10% armour and the 2nd to 10% shields? You could just upgrade a single 1 to 0% health/10% armour/10% shields and save 500 gold.
Same goes for building 4 of them at one place.
Each upgrade you buy for universities costs more than the last, so spreading upgrades across multiple universities ends up being more efficient after a few upgrades. Plus, if you take cards that add bonus % to universities, building 4 instead of 1 will give you 4x as much % to start with.
Appreciate the corgi pic btw!
I just died exactly the same way - except I was trying a manaless build with just ballistae and shredders. I think my ballista purchase costs were in the 1300s and my last shredder cost 3800 at the end.
Mortars are satisfying, but I feel like they aren't as good as they feel like, you know what I mean? When you look closely at what they actually do, you'll see that they'll waste like half of their shots on targets that are already dead when the shell lands and it seems there is very little you can do about that through targeting priorities.
So I Just beat the final wave! (yes it has an end)
Super tough but I got the crazies map ever. I basically got a map that swirled and then ended on a portal in the middle.
Imagine a honey bun but rectangle. Super tense and loved it.
Thank you for showing me this game btw! :)
Most cuts of meat that are just muscle usually are pretty bad. The only way to make them good is to season them well and put them in a stew or make a soup with the meat cause even if it becomes dry you always can get a little bit of soup to rehydrate your mouth.
10/10 congrats on the new PB, you'll get Big Brain next time I bet
I was just listening to "i did it my way" lol
The pork tenderloin is so inoffensive to me that I took offense to nl's pork tenderloin take
Planes trivialize the first 3 bosses, I've found
Hot take I wear glasses and a mask solo in the car… I wear the mask for the warmth on my bald lips and nose haha
I absolutely love hedgehog builds in SAP, will you post the vid of the run you were talking about? 7:00
You can buy the bacon rasher, or the whole belly which includes more of the rib meat. Maybe try a different butcher next time.
"IT NEVER WENT THAT FAAR"
90+ minutes!!? Holy brsh!
great vod as always
Weirdly enough jackass would be really educational to know what humans can do with their body
i played this to fall asleep to but i also actually wanna see what happens
Does the +3 mean only how high the tower is or also damage boost?
Maybe one day NL will realize that raising just one stat on a Tower is probably not so good but guess the Egg is just build different
Pork tenderloin is delicious if you cook it right. Sous vide gets that shit JUICY
He did truthfully make a weird looking naruto by the end.
20:47 - Oh Egg, you cut me to my core here lol. I'm used to people hating my favorite movie; 9 out of 10 people do. But your way with words made this one hurt 😂
1:23:08 - you made up for it a little bit with this classic tumblr reference
If you want GOOD pork belly, just look up a danish recipe for it! We eat more pork than beef and poultry, so we know what we're doing ;)
Cops already have access to look up anyone's license plate and see their record. And imagine the criminals who would get away if they had to go through some bullshit, redtape before they could lookup people's records.....
The soundtrack slap so hard
I want the old NL back. The "oogie" instead of "ugie" NL back.
I clicked away from this and back to it a few days later.. left it at 35:35
I keep waiting for NL to tell us Luna has started to call him "egg" instead of "dad"
That lose then comment. Gottem. Oooo has the mighty have fallen.
