She can't go to Japan, she's an analyst! (Cine2Nerdle Battles)

[@littlecrabgames]

Listening to NL just name random movies and actors is my favorite podcast

[@The8347135]

like that podcast Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright did. Just an hour of names and movies you've never heard of

[@nebula8893]

Honestly same lately, which is really funny, because I don't listen to podcasts and hardly know anything about cinema 😭 very weird thing for me to love listening to

[@usermnm1104]

same i grind camos in mw3 zombies and listen to NL farm +2s

[@twin_rivers921]

Just like me fr

[@tlsgrz6194]

Playing I‘m Gonna Git You Sucka after the opponent skips is such a savage move. Did NL really think there was a connection, or was that an act of psychological warfare

[@IsThisAmerica1]

Nose exhalations go hard this episode 😤 And I'm loving every minute of it

[@wrustria]

i thought i was the only one 😂

[@CrucibleOfHate]

Northernlion talking about middleschoolers watching him like it's crazy, little does he know that I may be 25 but when I was in middle school I watched Northernlion's let's plays.

[@Blackobluna]

Playing "Im gonna get you sucka" was the perfect mental flashbang to clinch that round

[@Caiiiiiiiiii]

He knows infinity more movies than me but don’t I love when I know one thing he doesn’t. Thank you School of Rock

[@Dorsalwarrior0]

Actually crazy he corrected “I need a hero” to Joan Jett. Like bro Bonnie Tyler is fuming. The fairy god mother singing that still gets me hype

[@StupidAussieDrongo]

I think the meta in this game is actually learning all the shit christmas movies A list actors have been in because its surprising how many of them do garbage flop christmas movies nobody has ever heard of

[@areeeeon]

scarlett johannson in home alone 3 is my favorite

[@veal_vermicelli]

Realizing it's the 5th time this week I've heard all the bits and banter on librarians' channel. Staying to watch because I'm a cine2nerdle addict.

[@LiarJudas666]

he’s an alchemist, the pure stuff is just as good as the concentrate

[@starshard0]

I played against gaybi a few days ago, definitely has to be a bot. Or some kind of insane movie savant.

[@grapesoftime]

No I heard drama about them on the subreddit, def a bot and I guess the situation has been looked at, apparently they had 400 wins on the leaderboards and would always snap guess the movie that was just played, then immediately pick the most obscure movie from the most obscure actor in the cast.. idk why but I guess people will cheat in any game with a leaderboard lol

[@Benisuber1]

Some of the guesses are within a second, 100% a bot.

[@johannezz93]

Yeah, played them a few times too, always the same experience as previously mentioned with snap guessing the exact same movie even when it's not an obvious continuation, and then some weird obscure guess. I don't even bother with them, I just exit right away. Really pathetic to cheat at this game lol.

[@KonamiCoda]

​@@grapesoftimethe NL subreddit or is there a c2n battle subreddit?

[@figgisfiddis]

No fun to play against but I'm sure it was entertaining to puzzle out for whoever wrote the bot, presumably the author and the bot account being one in the same.

[@bitterbatterdog]

I love when NL goes off on a tyrade about how many outs a film has and I don't recognize the film or any names he brings up

[@cam8868]

NL is like the father I never had

[@BigStinker_14]

Tragic

[@geckogeico2212]

least parasocial NL viewer

[@tatejohnson8497]

how do you know what hes like? you never had him

[@JasonAhl]

Believe it or not you had a father

[@Medsas]

NL whining the opponent banned Lohan when he himself banned Lindsay 😂😂😂

[@jayleno2192]

Miranda Cosgrove is also in Despicable Me. Apparently one of the minor characters in iGo to Japan was also in Crazy Rich Asians, which isn't really a surprise.

[@mimigigihere]

harry shum jr ! he’s also in everything everywhere all at once (he was also on glee for a while, probably doesn’t help much for cine2nerdle tho)

[@ValidusEqeus]

Having been dropped in the Bird Box: Barcelona hell pit myself, I found out you can escape via Babylon.

[@Swampum]

I appreciate this 😂

[@BlueLily342]

I have no idea what the fuck I'm watching

[@Blackobluna]

Welcome to the show brother

[@AllWIllFall2Me]

Just to feed the Algorithm: how this game works is you get a starting movie, and you and another player take turns trying to name a movie that one of the actors in the last movie was in (or that had the same director or writer) in under 20 seconds. If you can't, you lose unless you have a life-line. So, like, if you start with Avengers, you might say Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, because Robert Downey Jr is in both of them. And you opponent could say "Top Gun", because Val Kilmer is in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and Top Gun. Now, if you don't know anyone else in a movie, you can just use the same actor to leave (maybe you don't know Val Kilmer is in Top Gun, but you know that Robert Downey Jr is also in the movie Chef, because it's made by the guy who made Iron Man.) However, you can only use a given actor as a connection 3 times, hence the Xs that appear next to the names as you use them so, if you feel confident about a given actor, you can try and force your opponent into a trap, leaving them in an obscure movie, and without that actor to get out. In order to even out differences in film knowledge/balance the advantage of first player, each player gets a couple life-lines: You can "skip" a movie, telling the other player "I don't know anyone else in that movie, and I bet you don't either", forcing them to prove they know another actor, or else THEY will lose, and if both players skip on the same movie, it ends in a draw. You can also get a "cast" life-line, where the game will tell you the director, writer, and typically about a dozen actors in the movie. You get TWO cast life-lines if the other player gets the first move, in order to make sure they can't just use some super-obscure movie right out of the gate. Lastly, you can get an extra 15 seconds on any round, if you're struggling to remember a specific actor or movie. You can also ban your opponent from using up to 3 people at the start of the game, to help you set up traps or protect you from movie genres you know you're not good at. (However, Bans do not work on the either player's first move, in order to allow a clean exit from the starting movie.) tl;dr: just name a movie with the same actor, dude.

[@LoFiFox.]

His Brian impression really is getting better 😂 I died though at the Stewie attempt

[@kingdragmire5082]

The Inside trap is crazyyy, most of the people in that movie don’t even have pictures on IMDb

[@waldezurbe]

28:43 nl quoting j. cole.

[@BrannigansBrushes]

OH MY GOD, I am so happy someone said School of Rock. I was almost screaming at my monitor

[@MGH375]

you can see him putting in the mental effort to try a stewie impression at 17:48

[@grapesoftime]

16:38 fuck me why is his Brian impression spot on 💀💀💀 am um 17:52

[@d1am0nd4]

Theres no way thats the same jackylegs that plays professional tf2 that would be crazy

[@trace7340]

I started watching you when I was 13 and will be turning 24 this year funny

[@ApocalypseSoldiers]

Babylon is the only escape from Bird box Barcelona, brad pit is in that movie

[@Volt5302]

Just commenting on your KZbin video because it doesn't matter

[@lazo3251]

I guess NorthernLion doesn't know Miranda Cosgrove is in School of Rock.

Just Like Heaven is like that Ricky Gervais movie but staring Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon is the ghost

I started watching NL when I was 12. I’m 19 now. So I was the 13 year old watching you

Appreciated.

[@jeastman9603]

i'm sorry, just as i get used to accepting him having a mental library for movies & actors, he drops the fact that he can memorize /specific chat members by name/??????? "i remember you from like 6 streams ago. purple name, fuckin' pascal case-ass capitalization. i remember." truly a savant in the most useless categories. you love to see it.

[@TheBshwckr]

[@Bounsingonbongos1]

Who wasted their time making bots for a game with absolutely no stakes?

[@mordo7830]

Non winners

[@lukua5686]

probably easier bot to make than other games

[@Bigcat32]

Do people cheat in this? Like is it possible

[@bagorngo]

In terms of possibility, very easily. It's just a matter of ripping out the name of a movie, checking it in a database, then spitting out the name of a movie that shares an actor.

[@Uhflower]

NL, coming from someone in college to be a teacher. Almost every teacher I work with has said the new generation is truly awful. Maybe it's an American thing but truly there's an epidemic of dumb kids
