Shotgun Chess is GENUINELY a cool game that also happens to frustrate me a lot, which is my own cross to bear. It's a bit like chess meets XCOM meets Into the Breach, and it shows. Check it out!

NLs using 'you piece' derogatoritaly has made him not respect the chess pieces enough
I’ve started saying it without the context of chess. My friend cancels our plans later today, “you piece”
'You piece' is now how i end every single phrase lmao
@@jcp1296 How does that work for pickup lines? Or flirting in general.
@@Chromodar the trick is not to
@@jcp1296 For someone who ends every single phrase with "you piece", you seem to not be ending very many phrases with "you piece", you piece ;)
Kate roasting NL was a highlight of my day
when she hit him with the copium 💀
Kate based AF for hitting him with the Copium IRL
That was a great play by Kate ngl.
To be fair, "This game is harder if you're really good at chess" is like, uncut colombian copium right there.
@@jasonpcooke I had a pretty good idea, but I had to Urban Dictionary “copium.” I feel so old.
"I think this is the one..." I appreciate many things about the Egg; but the constant optimism is right up there.
"Kate, how did you beat this?" "It was easy." NL's wife is so BM and it's fucking perfect
When he tells the story about the day care person warning him about his daughter running with her head forward like that, I expected NL to say "Thank you, that's precious intel".
This game's better suited for rookies like GothamChess.
i love you for that comment
@@themechanicus9698 And I love you random commenter!
Or even that novice GMhikaru
Oh yeah GMhikaru the strongest 1200 rating 💀
Oh shit it's the rare umineko profile picture
NL saying "Hi honeyyy~~" to Luna offscreen right as the queen moved directly adjacent to him was some unintentionally cursed/funny timing.
That fooled me, too.
I love when NL makes an obvious mistake, acknowledges it, and then proceeds to correct all of the backseaters who apparently don't know chess and are berating him for other, nonexistent issues.
The unprompted “hi chat” was so good.
So incredibly blessed. 🥺
TIMESTAMP :'(

LOVE da baby
The fact Luna has started saying "Hi Chat" every time she comes on screen is the most wholesome thing ever
I know, its the cutest thing.
Its also funny, like, what does she think "chat" is? Does she think that dad is just crazy talking to the camera or computer like its a person? "Guess I'll play along with him. Hi Chat!"
I wonder if she knows that "Chat" is that box full of moving text, or at what point will she figure it out or learn what it is. Being a baby must be so fucking weird, like being on an alien planet.
@@DaggerSkullery hahaha yeah I thought the same thing. She must just reflexively say it when she sees the computer or gets up on NL
@@DaggerSkullery As someone who knows nothing about babies, I'd guess it's just like teaching an animal it's name or a command. Not actually understanding but a reflex from being infront of the computer in dad's office
Being a baby isn’t weird. Nothing is weird when you’re a baby. You just go with it. Everything is normal because you don’t know any better.
@@DaggerSkullery i meeeeeean TECHNICALLY the world IS alien to a baby. I mean it's completely unknown and undiscovered for all you know, until you slowly start learning it isn't xp
I love when NL goes teacher mode at chat. Like “dude you can one shot the queens.” And he’s just like “……….. okay you should have finished reading that by now.”
The amount of people who don't know the basic rules of chess and yet feel confident enough to back seat is too damn high.
"I have to beat this game once so I can never play it again."
Sadge
He’s never gonna best it lol expect 100+ episodes
That's a lot of his playthroughs
@@simplyrin210 He should be able to beat it without too much trouble - I've only played it for 3.5 hours now, and beat it on normal, and then on hard, and I don't even play chess
@@thaecrasis Honestly think half the problem for NL is that he does play chess and is too into playing it like actual chess whereas enemy turns aren't actually quite the same, sometimes traditionally bad chess moves might be good in this for baiting enemy movement but he's less inclined to do them and such.
@@thaecrasis wow you're so smart
Pat yourself on the back twice champ
I love this. NL is bad but chat's backseating is even worse. It's a trainwreck I can't look away from.
Chat seems to have gone full fucking dunning-kruger effect illiterate for this one.
Finally a game where NL is smarter than chat for
@@RareSpottedGamer nah that’s still almost half of them they just act like they know lmao
it seems like NL's strat is to fuck up and then wait to find messages to cherry pick so he doesn't feel as bad about losing/tries to not look as bad. crazy how long he'll just dwell on a loss. it's so easy to die in this game, just try again. I beat king mode last night and if i dwelled on every loss... god damn i'd be there forever.
@@Brandd1 i think it’s called content for the stream not dwelling on a loss. i think chat talks about it so he talks about it to and i think he’s just kidding most the time you taking it too serious lol
Actually insane how many people in chat who didn't understand how the game functioned came in, exclaimed how easy it looked, then proceeded to backseat nonsense
So unfortunate to see this game go, was so thrilled to watch NL play before seeing it live
I hope he keeps playing. super fun watching him play this actually.
To be fair, NL is pretty ass at this game.
Chess is always full of people who dont even know how the game works but still try to correct you. It's a narcissist's dream game to backseat
Let's be honest here, we don't watch the egg to learn how to get better at games, we watch the egg because the egg speaks the funny
backseating incorrect information is the best kind of backseating, that'll teach him to rely on chat for intel
1st, great reflexes keeping X paper off screen.
2nd, God your wife huffing Copium @10:49 made me laugh so loud, it was great.
X Paper?
@@ZionSype when Luna came into the room, NL made a comment to K8 about taking something away from Luna before she could accidentally show it on stream. I assume it was a piece of art she did at her activity and it had her real name on it
@@fauna575 Who’s real name? Luna’s? I thought that was her real name. And if it’s not why does NL call her that? Family nickname?
privacy reasons, I imagine it’s because NL’s last name is known and they don’t want the internet to have Luna’s information
@@ZionSype X for like in an algebra equation, where we don't know what it is. Not the best analogy, but it kinda works.
I was happy for NL to finish the game because I didn't expect there to be a final boss, but in all honesty, I could watch hours and hours of him answering bad suggestions from chat
I bought shotgun chess after seeing first video in NL's series, and played it for 3 hours straight. Its amazing and its only $6.
The absolute manic energy at 1:24:12 at the end when he was checkmated and chat was bs spam backseating is so funny to watch. Definitely clip and ship material.
55:45 was the single greatest throw of all time, NL needs to try out for the javelin next summer Olympics
37:40 This is the type of NL content I expect and love
"Sorry Magnus, it appears you've forgotten about my secret heir that takes over when my king is dead. Turns out you are now getting mated."
"Unfortunately for you, Northernlion, you have forgotten that I get an extra turn when I slay a Knight, and it just so happens that the collateral damage from my shotgun spread was just large enough to strike a knight. Not only that, but you've also forgotten that my pawns are carrying pikes into battle, thereby allowing them to strike up to two spaces in FRONT of them. Looks like you lose this one."
Okay but we need to make this into a real anime.
I feel like there HAS to already be some insane chess anime out there
@@blahthebiste7924 yea it’s called Code Geass
@@TheIbney00 GOATED anime
@@blahthebiste7924 Yes its called Highschool DxD.
The only actual chess manga that i've read is Chrono Monochrome, it's about a modern japanese chess player that timeslipped into the 18th century (getting a chance to play against phillidor, mozart and such).
Worst part is that he lost the run at 37:40 because the king starts on d8 instead of e8 for whatever reason. That's a major oversight; and if intentional, to put it in chess terms: "What a blunder!"
Start of pieces is slighty random so it was unlucky...
(Not sure about king himself but rook and others definitelt have some random to it)
i hope someone got fired for THAT blunder
@@Bongyes might be wrong, but there seem to be certain rules: the white king always starts on e1, d1 is always occupied by the queen, unless there is none, in which case a rook takes its place. If there's a second queen, it always starts on the other side of the king - on f1. I'm not so sure about how bishops and rooks work, I haven't payed enough attention, but knights seem to have the lowest priority, since when the back rank is filled up with pieces they start showing up in the second rank. In any case, you always start in front of the opponent's queen or rook. He should've known better, but as a chess player it feels really weird.
Edit: I actually bought the game yesterday and within 4 hours of play time I beat every difficulty level except for the last one, which seems nigh impossible of you don't take it slow. The only difference between "very hard" and "king" difficulty is that they add an extra bishop and pawn at the start. Doesn't sound that bad, but "very hard" already has you fighting an extra knight and pawn, 1 starting shotgun shell, less ammo and no soul slots, so it's already pretty tight. On top of all that, King mode allegedly doubles the boss' health too, which I've yet to see. What I've come to realise, though, is that, as I initially suspected, queens spawn as close to e1 as possible with a bias towards the queenside (d1-a1), followed by rooks, then bishops and finally knights. When the back rank is full, they start taking the second rank with the same rules, staying as close as possible to e2. I almost wish the rooks had a bias towards a1 and h1, and as further rooks get added to the white king's army they would take g1, b1, f1 and so on to further resemble a chess board.
the king spawns on either d8 or e8
@@lucianoariasduval 39:41 yeah, seems like "in any case, you always start in front of the opponent's queen/rook"... but not really
"We've been playing for 3 hours" is a transcendent line
57:30
I have never seen a man more on tilt in my entire life.
Glad he laughed that one off though LOL it was pretty funny.
The backseating in this one is insane
"Hi chat" so adorable ♥
the sheer BM of calling it "shotgun knight" at the end. a legendary NL joint
Sad we probably won’t be getting more but I really loved watching you play this, very cool game
Chat not understanding chess or the game's mechanics truly combines for some spectacular backseating 😂
absolutely lost it at the "copium" and nl getting slightly tilted
Beware of the discovered check !
Try discovered
But check
@@dazkrieg9924 You dropped one of these " - "
The Quantum Supercheck
That was actually incredible when he gave transcendence to the enemy bishops. The man absolutely gamed the AI
When Kate said "*inhales* copium" I really felt that
I don't know how NL can be calm like that when chat was constantly backseating without knowing how the game work
gotta be dad patience lol
maybe because it was more worth to play the game instead of getting mad at messages
my favorite was when NL suffered ill effects from having downgraded range and firepower and then immediately selected that “upgrade” again in the following round
Ngl Kate wrecked egg
Please bring us more egg father, at least until you beat it once. I loved every second of it, it was hilarious. Maybe tune out of chat while you play tho? The hivemind seems quite confused about pretty much every play lol
1:28:25 Reminded me of the (fake) story about the "perfect chess playing robot" that never lost any game of chess, but it had to play once in a losing position, so it made the only "winning play"...Which was to make no play, and wait out its turn for eternity
I live for NL calling the game warning him about checks "a good point"
I mean literally NL's daughter is the streaming equivalent of Tiger woods playing golf at three years old
Seeing NL with his kid is adorable. Lol.
After watching his previous vid and being like "this looks easy." Downloaded it and promptly got my butt kicked many a time.
Got absolutely rolled by his wife lolllll
The soul of the *rook* now lives in the *stoat*
This is when Walt became Tenchu's Silent Assassin.
Edit: the trauma of when he was new and failed to kill a piece next to him with stupidly high arc really did a number to NL huh, didnt even try to kill the 4 hp queen lmao.
24:06 I've been waiting like 2 and a half hours to hear him say this lmao
I feel like he limits himself so much by holding onto his soul cards too long. You can move around the board and not let enemy pieces pile up to trap you by using them proactively instead of saving them for when you've got no other options. There's no reason to hold onto them and only move one square when you get a new one after every kill
There are only two usecases I can see for holding on to them. The card that free turns them so you can chain soul cards or the unfaithful steed/additional soul slots combo that allows up to 3 additional movement per horse card by jealousy guarding them and only using them when you can immediately replace it with another knight soul. I have done both builds to varying success and I will say the Knight soul card builds slap but you have to consider if you might not just be better suited doing stuff that guaranteed additional damage and range.
He's like: this game looks fun
Rng : Allow me to introduce myself
pikemen is absolutely the best choice for NL because it prohibits him from making the aggressive moves that otherwise kill him. He also gets inattentive after the queen shows up then blames his situation as luck when he sets the stage 3 turns prior
His head is so shiny you can see the red flashes from the screen on his head lol
Sorry, i wasn't aware this was sexual harassment
NL I buy so many games you play and I picked this up after watching you play! I beat it first try in 24 minutes. Great game. I believe in you!
More of this series please, it's so good!
" I have to beat this game once so that i can never play it again"
nNOoOOOOoOoo i need moreee
I fear the combination of idiocy and trolling in NL's chat is going to give him an aneurysm.
It's insane how nobody in the chat knows how to play chess and yet everyone tell him non-stop what to do.
NL can only function in this game if he only takes debuffs that dont mess with his normal chess muscle memory
Which is very fair
"Hi chat"
🥺
poggy
My god Kate coming in with the Copium and Luna coming in with the Hi Chat, poggers family so adorable
That was hilarious to watch. Enjoyed every second!
I love when he puts the backseaters on blast when they say dumb things LOL
I love that his wife comes on screen just to laugh and say Copium
Loving this series nl
this is the first time we see NLs brain physically shrink
this is actually top tier entertainment i LOVE IT
Saying that chess is a simple game is actually a key design concept that makes it so brilliant.
A good game is ideally designed with limited complexity and limitless depth, and chess embodies that concept to the extreme.
this video will be an example of how a reasonable, thoughtful, and strategic man descends into madness
Eventually he will figure out how to use the arc of fire. Keeps shooting off the board. Making progress! Thanks for the funny video.
Thank god he came back. We couldn’t leave it with how that last run ended
Would love to see you keep on playing this awesome game dear egg
"the better you are at chess, the more you're held back" I think that's true for a lot of things in life, but maybe not this particular game
Such a cool concept
I gotta give props to NL here for not going on a ban/ragequit spree with how annoying chat sounds
I love how our boi NL talks about no tutorial telling him the game and let him make mistakes and in the same breath wants a wanting indicator with the mega lol and sad throw lmao
No you gotta keep playing it, there is a true ending and I haven’t even gotten it yet
I like how the flavor text on the boss fight mentions the fact that the realm was under a theocracy.
The backseating reactions made this hilarious
Daily egg pog shotgun king chess gourd baby cranium believer time
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Time for some egg fried rice(shotgun version)!
This is the most joker I've ever seen NL and I'm loving it
In the past, I had an Atari ST FM. On that system I used to play an absolute classic game called 'Battlechess'. The pieces would all have their own individual weapons. And each piece had their own intricacies and mannerisms. It was brilliant, and much better than this game here. I wish they would bring 'Battlechess' back.
i LOVE nl getting so mad at the stupid chatters it's making me laugh so hard
god i dont get why he got so fucking greedy with the blunderbuss like "imma keep shooting the king despite my INSANE arc" just clear out the enemies my man the whole build is wiping out crowds and you wanna snipe the damn king with a blunderbuss
37:45
Fire Ark = 1000
Pellets: Straight down the center you say?
God, the dread I feel in my soul when I know he is gonna missplay with outrageous confidence is immeasurable
Don't let the baby's cuteness melt your heart challenge 2022: difficulty impossible
Also the comedic timing is just too pog
54:35 ...Baba... cough cough... is you
that Blind Melon joke is such a niche and funny joke
I can't believe NL found the only game where he could get backseated harder than actual chess
The bishop play was absolutely genius
57:20 Single-handedly the best match of this game I’ve ever seen. Unironically
I for one love watching NL play this game and I like the content. Chat's backseating is doing more stress damage to NL than the actual game is, and while entertaining I wouldn't mind seeing how NL approaches this in a vacuum without them.
more of this please!
took me about 5 or 6 tries for my first win. a few key things to look for that are super helpful
-do NOT upgrade the enemy pawns unless you have to
-weaken rooks, king, or both preferably
-always take extra turn after soul use(extra souls with this, even better)
-always take the respawn
I know alot of that is RNG but there are certain things to avoid like the plague. like adding a bunch of pieces, they may be easier to kill but with so many on the board you get mated to easily
weakening the queen(s) to 3 spaces is also amazing or 1 space for first 15 turns but that can catch u off guard. rooks are more annoying imo anyway as it is easy to let a bunch pile up on the board they are hard to kill by default
"Kill the last bishop first." Hilarious.
when he was just running through chats options losing his mind i was dying man
1:27:16 left down, then leave the map, then infinity damage glitch. Ez wins
I enjoy the reading "F-er" to censor the reading but moments later asking chat what the fuck they are talking about
I think what confuses people saying wrong things in chat is they think that the pawns that don't "shake" in between turns won't move to kill even if they are in the correct position.
Me ever 20 seconds watching NL play: You're in check, dawg
