Plants Vs. Zombies Part 10: Slow Ride

30 minutes of me fumbling around with sunflowers in the night and fog. I swear I wish I had realized when I recorded this how useful the sun-shrooms were!

"It's not like someone's gonna come up to you during the video, like, 'Hey, I know that person! You killed my father! Prepare to die!', they come at you with a sword, or something."- Timothy Bishop

[@shadowblade40]

Nice pic, the same as Scope's.

[@ronaldaospeedweed148]

Yeah, I stole it from him to kind of draw attention to his channel. He deserves more than he has, but he's gaining more and more subscribers each day.

[@ronaldaospeedweed148]

I'm both. He's a great guy. We talk over Skype sometimes. Actually very respectful off camera.

"It isn't like someone is gonna show up on the video and say 'HEY I KNOW THAT PERSON! THEY KILLED MY FATHER, PREPARE TO DIE!' and then come at you with a sword or something" Probably the most legendary quote ever.

[@MissPielops]

Tim, you know the clover thing that blows away fog also blows away balloon zombies, so it's really helpful.

[@Rexcalibar]

I remember when I played the mobile version, which I'm gonna get again, I LOVED the sun shrooms. I don't remember if I had used Sunflowers on the first night level, but I know I didn't after sun shrooms. I quit during world 3. Don't quite remember why. I think it was because I needed phone space so I could record videos.

[@eldetpacko7401]

+Excalibarsonic Started playing the mobile version after I got bored on a 8 hour road trip to Miami again. My favorite part is that you can see your total zombie kill count and a trash can which demonstrates the amount based on the height of zombies on there which will actually go to space :o P.S lots of fun to watch / hear this video while playing the mobile version but kind of annoying on the 4th stage as sound helps a bit in those levels when you can't see the zombies due to fog

[@420Impeller]

25:14 My favorite thing NCS has ever said.

[@agoodduck]

at 6:27, look at the bottom row in the fog.

[@DJTileTurnip]

Yeah, the zombie

[@SmashLuigiFan1]

"They killed my father! Prepare to die! And they come at you with a sword or something." That made me laugh so much.

[@sgtdrfunk]

These videos should have a subtitle "Tim's Wisdom." I feel like we get a whole lot of little stories and experiences that mean something in this LP

[@soggycereal8626]

Oh my god! I remember when I used to watch these videos, Those were the days! :)

[@etherursoul]

I would get scared if someone who had shimigami eyes looked at me

[@ok1933]

The thing about the plantern your missing on is that once you plant it the fog can’t come back unlike when the blower blows the fog costing you a 100 sun every 20 to 15 seconds. And for the plantern you just have to plant 2 and protect them with walnuts and or tallnuts. And then the fog can’t annoy you.

[@dh_marcus]

nah Tim the don't fly over the mower.

[@NikitaGamer64]

Whoa! These pajama psychos with Jack-in-the-Box can explode in any time!

[@astrid5083]

They are in straight jackets. They are insane.

[@devoncosta5315]

I mostly see it as when their jack-in-a-box theme plays fully 3 times is when they explode

[@Dorgengoa2080]

Wow. Can't believe its been 5 years since you uploaded this, And I'm watching it today, Exactly 5 years later. Well.. Re-watching.

[@Dorgengoa2080]

Haha yeah I guess it was kinda Redundant.

[@nosajpoker]

Captain Dorgengoa I am re waching in 2017

[@meowdyllic]

Nosaj Navillus i am in 2018

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

WOW WHO KNEW TIME PASSES BY A YEAR WHEN TIME PASSES BY A YEAR THAT'S CRAZY GUYS. Am just joking

[@guardjelly3946]

Greetings from 2019

[@zerozanmato]

From the testing I had done I have found that Sunflowers give sun more slowly at night than in the day. That combined with their higher initial cost make them inferior to Sunshrooms at night. A certian "spread gun" plant is one of my favorites, as a field of them can devastate most zombies.

[@tarquinnff3]

Even when there is nothing going on in the game you still make it interesting. You are very good at what you do; mad props NCS. :D

[@ZeroRaijin]

1:33 AM. Volume all the way up. I hit Play. NCS: "HELLO EVERYBODY" I wake up my dad.

[@brettchampagne]

i hate these levels,there slow and get aggravating with the fog, i rather the roof levels over this

[@SplatRina]

Mary Champagne I acually really like the fog levels for 3 reasons 1)those levels have really good plants,some of my favourites acually 2)it shakes up the gameplay in more ways than one And 3) it's a lot of fun trying to beat these levels with the addition of fog and water plants and the amount of sun you acually get In these levels ...I'm so sorry for commenting this...

[@meowdyllic]

ZackAttack R u tho? R u tho! I just wanted to know and i agree with both of you. Different worlds are good for different gameplay styles.

[@omni-power3616]

I like them level no ofense

[@theawesomevlogchannel816]

You made a very interesting point Tim on the fact people get scared when they're on camera and not anywhere else

[@jakegadd6735]

This is probably the the best commentary I've ever seen and the most interesting and detailed

[@mochimemes]

I can't watch this when he's not singing!

[@obamabinladen2206]

Use a sun-shroom!!!!!

[@rockandroll4567]

tim, i've been watching you for like three years now..thank you for such good times! i love you.

[@alexxfunk]

Im enjoying this LP a lot more then i thought i would. Keep up the good work NCS :D

[@jamesdrrr]

UR MY FIRST FAVORITE KZbinR!

[@Supersayainpikmin]

NCS: "Haven't you seen my Conker's LP?" Audience: "Well, we know who has..."

[@NinjaNaster]

because of you ncs i finnished my plants vs zombies. so thanks for reminding of how good this game is with its music

[@ZenAki]

I have to fight the urge to "collect" the sun while watching this since I've been playing the game myself.

[@Maythen]

0 is not less than any negative number

[@morkthecar]

All the fog is gone at 23:11

[@sn4p437]

Because he used the Blover.

[@captaincrikey872]

+Lucas Olofsson Illuminati Confirmed.

[@AnimalAlmighty]

[@SoshiNoChorus]

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean about having anxiety about people seeing you in person. A year and a bit ago, I was so terrified of being -seen- by -anyone- that I literally couldn't leave the house without having massive panic attacks. Anxiety is awful.

[@TigerGuy786]

I hate the fog as well. Thankfully they give you really great ways to deal with it soon enough. WHen I played these levels I abused the free shrooms to no end. They killed most of the zombies I think. When I had the lanterns, I put them in the pool with a bunch of sea-shrooms in front of them.

[@luiginator8050]

slow ride dunndunn dada I know that song and im 12.

[@Ujelly12]

i always enjoy your longer videos Tim. I get more of my daily NSC.

[@balkU1]

i love the fog level music. it fits well

[@OilFreak]

this brings me back

[@thealexgher]

the sun falling from the sky is such a HUGE factor for 1 reason at the start of the level when it allows you to plant an extra sunflower it's a good example of both events changing causing huges diffrences and how sunshrooms are a million times more useful

[@Thatkid12321]

please keep the 30 minute PvZ vids coming if possible, it makes everyday brighter

[@180Taco]

dont be sorry for the long videos i love the long videos keep up the great work tim i love your videos

[@VileDreams]

Foghat is such an awesome band and Slow Ride is such a great song. This is a great game and LP of it too :)

[@deborahmarysheehy]

You should use the sun shrooms during the night, they give you more sun.

[@TheDrNotNice]

you made me get this game. your vids helped me.

[@TheRealKitsune]

Worst commentary? I subscribed to you last month because you're awesome, dude.

[@lifeofasalesman01]

the sun-shrooms are sooo good for early on! you should use them next vid :D

[@Annihilationzh]

I use torchwood to stop fog. Put six on the column one back from the front and you'll be able to see everything, as well as have boosted peas.

[@ThaSinfulbojangler]

On the night levels if you are not going to use your twin sunflowers i highly recommend using the sun shrooms, they'll net you more sun in the beginning and even more in the long run.

[@Blaumagier]

I always found the aquatic shrooms to be a waste of space. You're getting normal shrooms (which recharge way faster) and lily pads anyways, and zombies generally wait a long time before moving through the water that I just use normal shrooms on lily pads and have better attacking in the back.

[@ohohothisrocks]

next time in night battles take the scaredy shroom. I used to underestimate them cause of their addition effect, but then realised that they are probably the best plants for a night battle. You get them for 25 sun. Low cost and range shooter.

[@c1xcx]

YAY Tim! get cattails to show them before getting to the 5th level!! they are incredibly overpowered

[@lcnorlak]

I don't want to be "that" guy but this was posted on my birthday,so awesome.

[@MelodyPythonVeria]

I don't use the water shroom thingys. They recharge too slowly, so I'd rather use a puff shroom on a lilypad. Though it costs 25 sun to plant the lilypad I find I can build defences up faster, which is worth it in my opinion. I also use the mushrooms that can shoot long distances rather than peashooters/repeaters. Costs less sun to plant two of them on a row than a repeater. Just plant them on the back column or the second last column.

[@sevelev711]

I like the long ones. You should do more!

[@PerfectDarkly]

If I were you, I'd have re-recorded the first two mini-games already, and in the meantime grind up enough money for the Cattail. I'd totally love to see you demolish a level or two with that thing.

[@kurremurre]

I think the best strategy for the Planterns is to put one on a Lily Pad on the 4th row. You can already see the heads of the zombies of the 1st row, so no problem there, and since you've just illuminated the 5th row, the 6th row will work just like the 1st. Now you can see all the zombies, and you only have one Plantern to worry about!

[@GibsonsForLife]

I've always preferred the flowers on the night levels. It's a trade off, but you'll get more sun in the beginning of the level, which helps especially in the later parts.

[@Sadet1991]

that jake-in-a-boxzombie must be Popcap's comical side

[@lalofra100]

great echo :D Sounded so real

[@BollyBibby]

In the levels with the balloon zombies, I like to use the cacti as if they were pea shooters. That way, you are prepared whether or not you knew it was coming.

[@PEPSIDS1]

HOLY FUCKINGCAPRISUN I HAVENT BEEN ON KZbin IN LIKE 6 MONTHES I COME BACK TO SEE WHAT MY CAPRISUN IS UP TOO AND I SEE THIS. I LOVE THIS GAME LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. YOU MY FRIEND HAVE JUST MADE MY DEPRESSED DAY 10BILLION TIME HAPPIER

[@leftright99]

this video started playing at 3 in the morning and woke me up.

[@Glus95]

NintendoCapriSun. I absolutely adore your videos. You are just a normal guy, you know, and you are so nice natured! I much prefer your videos to Chuggaaconroy or other major LPers. I know LPing must take a lot out of your life but I, and everyone else, extremely appreciate what you do. I know this is just a random video to post this comment on but I do hope you read it. Everybody deserves a compliment from time to time.

[@TheWwemaster123]

tim, just in case you haven't noticed, but the big mushrooms are multihitting they are nice to use on big rows of zombies in my honest opinion. :3

[@BullCraftMaxx]

21:44 lol I love the Back to the Future quote

[@dexlezhermit]

@shanetm indeed, the sunflowers gives more sun but at a really slow pace and the shrooms are "evolving" into the same of a sunflower as well

[@tarquinnff3]

I don't think we ever really figure out how we are doing it, Tim.

[@Mariofan3425]

Oh just thought you would like to know but the sun shroom thing produces sun faster than the sun flower so that can help you out a bit.

[@SirWalruston]

Hey Tim, just a question, which version of Skyward Sword will you be getting? Limited edition or regular?

[@ShyguysSister]

If there are balloon zombies and a very low amount of slots left, I use the cacti as peashooters to save slots and I put cacti on every row as if they were peashooters. :P

[@RoseOfTheDawn]

It's pretty similar for some people. They can still see you fumble, no matter where they see you.

[@praisedscooter]

I don't know if you're one for achievements Tim, but there is an achievement for beating a night level without using any mushrooms (there's also one for completing a daytime level only planting mushrooms)

[@ChaosQualia]

Tim, here's some help: -Use Sunshrooms, you'll save sun -Use Scaredy-rooms, they'll work as a long range defense and an alarm to warn that zombies are in a lane -Don't put mushrooms too inside the fog good luck man!

[@Roxfox]

@QuoteSan As if self destructing enemies are that specific. The creeper might as well be a reference to those annoying, flying buggers in Duke Nukem 3D. And those weren't exactly the first of their kind, either.

[@kylewise14]

your commentary is awesome, Tim from what I have heard, people who call them selves LP'ers that can barley talk.

[@MissPielops]

Tim, you CAN play minigames over and get the money from them again. Another great way of getting money is going into the last stand minigame and getting tons of marigolds.

[@ReaperJ21]

why are these videos so enjoyable?? xD

[@CloudyDaze]

THANKS for the long videos. :)

[@lDGlHax0r]

Dude, Tim, buy the Cattails before the pool levels are over, probably one of the most useful plants for pool levels.

[@shadowsa2b]

try sun shrooms at night. granted they dont produce as much right off the bat, but they are quicker to get planted and you can rely on TSPPs for a little while until the shrooms start growing up. plus since you get them out faster, it helps to compensate for the small sun they produce at first

[@TrafficConeArms]

I love this game, but in the beginning i didnt know if it would be a good LP, but NCS did a great job with it and now its one of my favorites!

[@rockmclogs5629]

Put a blover in fog and it still blows away the fog behind it

[@TwilitbeingReboot]

Which makes physical sense, now that I stop and think about it.

[@Torqegood]

You can use the flaming stump to push back the fog and have a useful plant.

[@TylerShuchat]

does the blover kill the baloon zombie that's pushed back? or is it still alive and you have to deal with it later?

[@TheCreeperhunter]

That's the great thing about this game. So much content. :)

[@IhasnotomatoMk2]

ever since i started playing this game (like 2 years ago) Ive never used sunflowers on night levels, ive always used sunshrooms, and i never lost once

[@me4gaming843]

0 isnt less than any other number (-1,-2,-3,... till infinity) so that makes you're commentary awesome:D

[@QuantumRoy27]

So, because you gave Dave a taco, he stocks new items in his shop. Seems like perfect logic to me!

[@iheartlownotes]

Once you get the Cattail plant, that's all you really need.

[@lovesidney1]

Capri: you killed my father prepare to die! me: what!?!?!?

[@pieloversmolen]

i wish tim would have become a math teacher than been my math teacher I learn more math from him than I have in real school.

[@shadowsa2b]

@TheInker if you dont use sun flowers along side the sun shrooms then they take up exactly the same amount of space

[@stuartrossiter3034]

Thanks for this plan i couldn't get past a level but with this plan i got past it so thanks. :D

[@sevelev711]

Man I wish the mini-games were unlocked.

[@jarianb15]

great way to spend a sunday, thanks for the great entertainment NCS!

[@Yuristar]

Will you be doing Skyward Sword?

[@foolintherain100]

Lol, Therewhore is my new favorite Tim Quote XD!

[@1996zackattack]

i love the spaceballs reference!

[@KingPenguin600]

Those zombies will do anything to get to your house, no matter how stupid they look with those ballons, rubber ducks, and buckets

[@Parai666]

does anyone else find them self yelling "Tim! tim! tim!" at the screen when you notice that he's not planting a sunflower or when a zombie gets to close to the end?

[@masterphazon]

You don't have to apologize for the long videos. We need more long videos.

[@keepthebeat929]

16:35 I agree about the privacy thing. The only times you usually need privacy would be in the bedroom, or y'know IN THE BATHROOM!
