Building Cool Bridges Then Watching Them Fail | Poly Bridge 2 (Northernlion Tries)

"The video was an hour late because the embargo was an hour late so I swapped this and Monster Train" My man's talking about future events in the past tense so that it makes sense when we watch, that organisation tho!

I've always seriously struggled with poly bridge games, but watching NL's ludicrous pattern-mind approach to hydraulics has enlightened me

Why do you want Malf to embarrass his friends.

[@styrofoamcow6996]

Malf would crush them but it would still be fun

[@TheMrTangamandapio]

That would be great, but not a whole week, maybe a one off

Game: Don't let the boat hit your bridge. Try building over it. NL's brain: Alright got it, let's start by building down. Never change my guy.

Watching NL build the most cursed bridges is the best content I've seen this hour, but only because monster train is so pogged

"Engineering is really just like, applied physics and mathematics, right?" Proceeds to take neither into account.

[@xaki6545]

Just after that. "If we're trying to make something strong, making it symmetrical, assuming the force applied everywhere is even, is pretty smart. Right?" Doesn't even make it symmetrical.

you won.

[@nik_narcotic]

I love how you just completely ignore the grid to bring us cursed asymmetrical structures.

[@int3r4ct]

Watching NL play bridge builders is basically the greatest thing ever, since he does not have the slightest idea of what the hell he’s doing. It’s amazing.

[@SuperSymn]

I wish this game had some maybe optional trivia in the tutorials that tells you why certain things work the way they do on a more in-depth mechanical level, why certain materials are used, have some real life bridges references etc., I think stuff like that would be neat.

[@als_pals]

Mark of the ninja remastered has historical facts you can read about the real life events and places that the story references

[@joosewv]

Man, NL just keeps playing these one-offs that I would definitely watch in a 10-part-limited-series type format as well. Good stuff once again.

Game: (Teaches him the power of triangles) NL: Finally, a bridge game that teaches you the power of triangles! Also NL: (Makes squares)

[@YTDaimera]

The first attempt at a ramp got a good belly laugh out of me when the car casually flopped off. I missed these bridge games.

[@xxgrimmsxx42]

This brings back memories of NL playing Kerbal Space Program. Watching the thing fall apart is why we love you Ryan.

[@p0migranate]

I find the way NL laughs inspiring in an odd way. It's like he decides to laugh and then pulls it off, rather than it being purely a reaction. Maybe I should practice my laugh.

[@HuragokSlayer]

I really like how the tutorial shows you how to do it wrong twice before showing you the right way. It really helps you understand.

[@morganjacobs153]

Not only would I watch my good dude Ryan play triangle sim, but as an architect sometimes you need a good triangle sim. Keep on keeping on NL!

[@john_titor1]

Getting to view other players bridges is really cool. Honestly adds like 300% awesome to the game for me. Im not very creative, so when i am able to view what other people have done to help stimulate my creativity, it really gets me going.

[@tylergillette7050]

I liked when you tried to challenge the leaderboard, it's fun to see you try to take a non-straight-forward approach!

[@lucasrodrigues9751]

Polybridge 2: Triangles, triangles, triangles! NL: yes. also NL: *builds squares*

[@twiddle7125]

Make this a mini-series please. Like 3-5 eps. Please!!

[@carlwei]

Would love to see this for Golden Goblet. I know Dan has been playing a little PolyBridge 1 recently, and I think Malf would come up with some great stuff.

[@chrisyzmad]

Please do a full series!! *edit* I'm 7 minutes in to the video and after seeing him trying to build a sloping bridge with a straight road I retract my statement 😂

[@MeierGlab]

I'd absolutely love a series out of this

[@waynebragg4707]

Another great NL Tries! Every day its like opening a little loot box of great entertainment. I know you mentioned that the time slots were reversed for this and Monster Train today for a reason, but I will say, I really like Monster Train in the earlier slot since the runs are around an hour long. That way I can roll right from that video into this NL Tries!
