30 Year Old Boomer Just Wants One Tetris 99 Win [Episode 1/?]

[@alexanderwales7870]

I love listening to you spew words while frantically placing pieces.

[@SpookySkeletonGang]

I would be okay with NL becoming a tetris battle royal channel

[@mande984]

He’s got to get his princess wave down for when he goes out in public

[@nickyiskool]

20:51 "It's just flavortext, don't get too spiced over it." NL speaks like a goddamn cyberpunk character.

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

His job is "surrogate egg dad who plays videogames," he's got a bachelor's in biology, and he's attending uni to learn programming He *is* a cyberpunk character

[@PhyrexianPhreak]

God the commentary on this is so excellent how does the man do it???

[@seriousguy9509]

Eggcellent am I right?

[@gildarmesh3809]

dan is that you? quit hyping this man and go back to winning though sending religious mercenaries in the atomic age

[@AlbertSirup]

9 big mouthfuls of great commentary to be exact

[@halcatrazfowkes]

It’s the commentary of like a 7 grade kid telling a 5th grade kid what life is about and I love it

[@Luteloots]

Pretty sure the quality of NL's commentary is directly related to how little time/focus he has to actually think through what he's saying. So if he's frantically trying not to die in Tetris he just becomes a prophet.

[@timvvs]

Can we get 3000 episodes of this

[@anthonywolf943]

The new Issac?

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Yes please

[@resultantdoor6630]

Current List Of Tetris 99 Terminology: NL Edition *Radio* *Silence:* When the game is getting hot, heavy and sweaty and as a result Ryan cannot even fathom the possibility of talking without using up the crucial brain power needed to pull off sick moves. *Just..* *_Spin'em:_* When all hope is lost, and the only thing you can do is spin your last piece and await your inevitable death. *Wyatt'ed:* When a Tetris god decides that you will be the center point of his wrath today. *Send'em:* When your attackers just made the biggest mistake of their life. *Rorschach:* When the random number generator has forsaken you and you start the game with half the lobby targeting you and as a result you have no choice but to pop off. *Mad* *Catz'ed:* When you accidentally misplace a piece and ruin the board for the rest of the game. *Garbage* *Hole:* Dunno.. but keep it clean.

[@CastafioreOnYoutube]

42 people all targeting NL, damn I wish I could've seen that

[@Mysticfateee]

I'd probably just turn my Switch off if that happened 😂

[@tossover6490]

I think it happens around 20+ minutes in his “let’s look at Tetris” video

[@syren6371]

@@Mysticfateee Contrary to popular belief, you actually want a lot of ppl to attack you. You get insanely strong if 3 or more ppl are attacking you. It's like fighting a bunch of ants with a rocket launcher.

[@Mysticfateee]

@@syren6371 Oh, well that changes things

[@Psykotik_]

Yep a lot of people think the lines are spread out if you attack multiple people, but they aren't. That's why a lot of people think there's hacking when they get 9 lines of garbage in 10s, turns out if 7 people are attacking you and you clear ONE line, you send 9 lines to each people as long as they don't delay or shorten it by clearing lines themselves. Shit's OP!

[@Mathmachine]

NL trying to win a multiplayer game? We might be here a while folks.

[@BlueTJLP]

NL trying to win a game? Same story...

[@phuuc8075]

since when is STS multiplayer?

[@IkEisawesome7]

He can barely win a singleplayer game

[@SteamPumpGamer]

NL Thrives when hes the underdog

[@AnActualDinosaur]

I don't know what channel you've been watching buddy, but NL has become a master at multiplayer games, he's elite in smash and word on his twitter right now is he's already become a Tetris 99 god with multiple wins in a row.

[@legoman24711]

I would fucking LOVE more episodes of this. The fact that you’ve managed to keep a coherent line of commentary while doing respectively well is a joy to watch.

[@ladyoftheworlds]

NL really passed the opportunity to say "It may be a 1 episode series, and it may be a 99 episode series"

[@ModernArtery]

This is one of the few times I've watched a KZbin video, gotten to the end of it, and then immediately went back to the start of the video to watch it again. Please upload 1000 more of these.

[@ZeroJinKui]

this madman gives constant, coherent commentary while doing high-speed tetris against 98 other people. i fail completely playing tetris by myself and focusing intensely. NL continues to make me feel like a failure of a human in every imaginable way... all i can do is worship him. all hail the divine egg!

[@babeldude]

Ok, so if there's one thing I can for sure take from this video, it's that this series will completely replace isaac and you will upload 2 of these a day untill 2027? That's what I got from this.

[@Theonebeliever]

pretty much

[@emma-ol1ng]

I would not have a problem with that

[@falsedragon7104]

Dude, it's gonna replace 2027 even before it comes out

[@abagoffrozenspinach]

it's so weird to come back to the very beginning and not have NL's big egg dad head on camera

[@mod3no]

Coming back to this feels so good! One of my all time favourite series from NL

[@markuspancaro4857]

When he said 30 year old wunderkind I spat out some coffee, always thought people were lying when they say they spit shit out but I guess it can happen. Ty egg

[@connorking984]

I've come from the future, NL is the new galactic overlord. No one can stop him, all world governments have collapsed under Lord Egg's gaze.

[@EpicNade]

are we in like the 5th golden age of NL content

[@MonsterUpTheStairs]

Dropping golden ages might help him more in his civ 6 series Kappa

[@dallyink7412]

He's actually doing it! I honestly thought all the people asking were wasting their time.

[@rend3ring]

MORE!! I've never watched you before, but I will always watch you play Tetris 99

[@DecayingReverie]

A new golden age of NL content continues to unveil itself.

[@abomboo]

NL, this content is extremely relaxing and engaging. I'd love to see it frequently!

[@Cyberw4y]

Relaxing is a strong word to use here, bud.

[@randysterbentz5599]

Relaxing? My eyes didn't blink for a solid minute trying to keep up with the end of the game! haha

[@themonroe654hd6]

Bruno Don’t buddy people.

[@Iyvanna]

I'm having an aneurism watching his awful plays, relaxing isn't the word I'd use

[@TheAuzman466]

This can become the next Isaac series, as we slowly watch NL turn into a Tetris god. I’m eagerly awaiting episode 1000.

[@OfficialMaxBox]

never stop this series, please.

[@KershawIII]

14:38 what are you doing

[@Chizzle69420]

It's like his strategy is creating as many covered gaps as possible

[@Wool_Scarf]

Tbh setting up downstack combos is a thing though not common since it relies on certain pieces

[@MilenaOrlando]

yeah i dont think that was his strategy

hi just wanted to to let you know you are my favorite KZbinr and I look forward to your videos everyday, your content is amazing and makes my day, I think you deserve to hear it more :)

[@ttmsnail]

Please do more. You're probably the only person who can make watching someone play Tetris the highlight of my day.

[@RobinWings_]

Please keep this series going! I love Tetris and I love watching you! So you know, putting the two together is a big win!

[@jonatwitchell682]

Honestly. New favorite series. The commentary is fire. 1000+ episodes or bust.

[@ehatchermobile]

THIS is the reason I love watching NL. Game focused commentary with a healthy dose of humor! Thumbs up from me! :)

[@karirae89]

I could seriously watch so many episodes of this. Please keep it going for awhile

[@blinxguy]

All those single line clears, who needs to stack to get tetrises and t-spins anyway?

[@theminingsage]

This is a gold age of NLs channel. EVERY video EVERY series EVERY title is a dang ol BANGER DUDE

[@SkotopicVisionary]

You know, it's incredibly impressive to keep up the commentary that solidly during all that!

[@bernardolavor]

I'm laughing so hard, it's been a long time since I've laughed this hard at a Gameplay. At the part "I feel the telltale controller rumblings of having drawn the attention of a Wyatt" I laughed so hard! Thanks for this and keep them coming.

[@RiotAugust]

This is my second favorite show. Right after The Sopranos.

[@jonnyswift1646]

the amount you improved from the lets look at to this video is actually pretty astonishing. I didn't think you had it in you egg.

Seeing the egg play and commentate over this game is far more entertaining than I could have expected.

[@CmdrCorn]

Also hearing Ryan's catchphrases as Tetris consumed 92% of his brain's processing power reminded me of the kind of repetitive nonsensical banter I used to have among friends after many hours and a fair amount of Mt.Dew sitting in the living room playing multiplayer games. And I loved it

[@litergod]

Definitely gotten better since the first Tetris video

[@DrAiPatch]

I have never been happier than to see NL switch from random to K.O.s/attackers..... Damn near drove me mad that he would stay on random until half the players in the game targeted him.

[@McBreadbox]

Oh Ryan, you’ve come so far

[@TheRunkman1]

[@00DHFT]

Best NL vid I've seen in years and they are all top tier.

[@thomasring3713]

Honestly my most favorite new series since StS. More!

[@CmdrCorn]

Absolute banger... New NL is the way of the future and the future looks like a box of chocolates but consists entirely of the specific shape plus swirly indicator which you consider to be your favorite.

[@xxtadaz]

Loving this already. More NL is never a problem for me. Would like to see more Four souls also. I do love some NL messing about.

[@rm_steele]

weird that the first 11 videos aren't on the playlist

[@instantnoob]

I love that the basic level of stacking without causing gaps would probably earn you pro status to him, basic well making/tetris chaining would blow his mind, much less the idea of intentionally making t-spin doubles.

[@cameronhoward24]

Hey NL I love all the variety you’ve been pumping out! Thank you.

[@yamitus3171]

Last time I heard "It could be one episode, it could be many more" from NL it was on 2011 with a certain game called Isaac. I'm optimistic for this let's play

[@LuckyGamesChannel]

no ones gonna talk about the fact that KZbin Gaming says he is playing Terraria???

[@Chefmaks]

I am actually waiting for NL to start the tetris match with "Where are we dropping boys?"

[@falsedragon7104]

I laughed so hard when he constantly kept blocking his garbage hole xD Kinda funny how he switched to not doing that, after he started explaining what the term means

[@bosserman444]

I’ve been a fan of NL since 2014, but I don’t like his issac or battle royale serieses, but this, this is what I need in my life

[@toonsandro]

This freaking game is wilder than I expected

[@leonsolaris328]

I have no idea what it is but watching someone play Tetris is very mesmerizing to me. Would definitely want to see more NL.

[@clutchmelon4587]

7:17 AJ! If any of you are aware of Bob Wulff from Wulff Den, you probably know who AJ is from Fanatix 4. I just love the coincidence. This is as cool as seeing someone from school at the grocery store, but much less likely.

[@MrStatistx]

Getting into top 10 without KOing anyone is basically staying close to the outside of the ring in battle royals and not encountering anyone til the end

[@TheWorldBelowDnD]

Finally a game that NL is worse than me at!

[@pierrecardin5302]

I propose that someone should start counting the number of times Ryan says 'at the end of the day' during the tetris videos, similarly to the chub count, with which we were all familiar until our master abandoned his noble endeavour.

[@badboyarteaga]

Definitely loved you doing your darndest! Please definitely again! Would love another video

[@censor2112]

1:59 NL channeling his biggest inspiration in life, DJ Khalid.

[@76destroy]

"We're looking for an orange piece, or a long blue" killed me

[@PerkSystem]

Damn... This was actually the most enjoyable I've seen NL

[@Chizzle69420]

NL heres my pro tip: never make a covered gap. Always place in a way that leaves the holes in one row. Also, if you have a covered hole, don't place a piece where it after clearing the row above it it falls and covers the hole again.

[@aaronnedlan8636]

I honestly want to see this series continue until he wins

[@knmrt2760]

Surprisingly entertaining will surely come back for more !

[@mateuscaldeirabrantaraujo]

[@Spotifist]

Tried it for the first time today because of NL, hearing the robotic KO sounds roll in was a sweet wave of dopamine.

[@Spyro5500]

[@Dubbadee124]

I haven't been this engaged in an NL series since the early days of team unity

[@InnocentCatfaces]

29:19 Northern didn't even mention his K.O. on Chad, the 69th player, has he truly become a god?

[@Imperfecktionist]

Stack maintenance is your main issue NL. If you watch Grand Master Tetris players they all have roughly the same strategy. Choose far left or right to be your garbage hole and then stack up your blocks in the closest thing to a rectangle you can manage. The lower you can keep your stack the better. Hope that helps you at least a little.

[@MrTDWfan]

Please never end this series. Also please get some merch

[@Psykotik_]

If you want to work on your T spins, look up a vid about setups to know what a T spin double setup looks like (The puyo puyo tetris vids are great for this, short and to the point), and try to always set one up at the start of the game, you'll have time to recover if you mess up and it'll help visualize them in the long run!
