The Binding of Isaac: Repentance! (Episode 96: What Would You Do?)

[@ringtone_rhythm]

"What would you do here" is an all-time quote. To have the composure to ask so calmly is hilarious to me.

[@deepbluev7.x813]

That part was so amazing. It was like the movie stopped and the actor turned to the screen, just before everything went to shit.

[@jetsetdizzy9433]

Hahaha, he went through the stages of grief at light speed.

[@ethanryan6161]

Rock Bottom + Star of Bethlehem = permanent damage and tears increase, but Genesis could be anything! It could even be Rock Bottom + Star of Bethlehem

[@timm8o475]

it could even be a boat!

[@bamboospout]

Yeah, it pained me to see that he chose to become a meme instead of to win. And we haven’t even mentioned holy mantle… but at least it was zany…

[@davidhong1934]

It could even be 7 breakfasts

[@rudrod95_41]

Does it do it over and over?

[@mayman4255]

>Strategizes for the first 50 minutes of the run >Takes genesis after getting rock bottom + star of Bethlehem Classic.

[@eltee704]

And holy mantle!!

[@measlesplease1266]

Holy fuck

[@Saphtism]

It was so hard watching the run after reading this comment, fuck...

[@godsfunniestclown]

JSYK: While they do have a chance to be lit, most Giga Bombs spawned by Everything Jar are actual pickups that you can then use against enemies. That one you got in the womb was a pickup.

[@firingemblems4118]

He was just about to figure out the actual value of Rock Bottom and then he goes and takes Genesis

[@Nadiesezarpa]

It's killing me :)

[@greindes1579]

Hey, it's fun! But yeah, rip a great that also had holy mantle

[@DrZaiusDrZaius-xp5fw]

Based Kaga

[@MrAliFranca]

I was dying to see him shoot and realize the insane rate of fire. But he never even shot

[@ElephantWithAMonocle]

Hey NL I don't care when you talk about the game, you have a level of insight that most other people will never achieve since who in their right mind is going to play as long as you. I just like it when you speak.

[@flazefeeds381]

hey just gonna throw this preamble in here so i don't get heralded as a grammar-nazi, it's insight not incite in this context. No biggie though, have a nice day :)

[@ElephantWithAMonocle]

@@flazefeeds381 thank you, the issue has been amended.

[@hellfire6714]

Well no. NL actually doesn't know a lot of mechanics in the game or actively chooses to ignore them. But he is a very patient and good at dodging player because he doesn't restart bad runs

[@PedroMiguel-zv3fj]

@@hellfire6714 he definitely know a lot more about the game than I do

[@MicoDossun]

@@hellfire6714 he only knows less than Melvins in chat who just obsessively watch videos about edge cases that are relevant in one out of every three hundred runs and pretend are intuitive just cause they know them.

[@UninspiredContent]

As much as I love banter, it's nice to hear your input on the game too. With thousands of hours of play time hearing what you find important is interesting perspective

[@turais8865]

the title card popping up during the end there was just *chef's kiss*

[@sonofhades57]

"Maybe some preventable mistakes" was good foreshadowing for him giving up Rock Bottom and Star of Bethlehem.

[@d3dgrrl]

+ holy mantle

[@Mashamazzi]

Trade offer, I receive: rock bottom, holy mantle and star of Bethlehem You receive: Rock bottom

[@moddedsoul677]

I personally don't mind it when u talk about the game because it helps me understand the game a whole lot more than normal.

[@gegeenblink]

That "Everybody" do be sounding calm

[@ramandian]

NL the reason you weren’t getting any keys is because your trinket, “Nuh uh,” prevents them from spawning

[@MetronaJ]

And coins too!

[@ramandian]

@@MetronaJ Fax

[@slippy5849]

Haha, NL begging for keys while not knowing the effect of Nuh Uh! is so good. Just so you know in the future, Nuh Uh replaces all key and coin drops from Chapter 4 onwards with other consumables. Still though, sick run man.

[@rhythmicshooter318]

That Genesis play when you had a lot of good things going for you was bad. But the siren call of Genesis is hard to ignore.

[@Eymonn]

0:43 egg getting +100% speech speed as the boss approaches him has to be one of my favorites moments

[@awesomesauce5481]

he will never take genesis after getting star of Bethlehem, rock bottom, and holy mantle. Cereal

[@luigisapartment]

Came here for this comment RIGHT HERE

[@jonwaxerino5699]

Holy moly, is there a better way to start your week than an 1 hour nine minute isaac? I think not

[@cat8scape]

blessed 69 minute run

[@afe_osu]

On these harder characters I really enjoy the more game focused commentary

[@zacbt913]

When everything jar spawned a giant bomb, it was a pickup that gives one you can drop, not an active one

[@thisdennis623]

That ending had me in tears, played out of his mind for over one hour and the second to last room before the bossfight was just insanely unlucky. Also quite possibly the worst items I've seen genesis give so far considering how many angel items you've had in the pool

[@Jacob-lb2ww]

genesis gave fine items, its just that none of them were holy mantle

[@mityakiselev]

The pure irony of Ryab complaining about getting no keys in the saltiest way possible while holding Nuh-Uh

[@jackl8025]

Day 2 of explaining NL's song references: 28:46 Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds - "Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)" 38:30 The Tragically Hip - "Wheat Kings" 58:23 Abba - "Take a Chance on Me"

[@JeDiArmon]

Loved every second of it. The calm ‘what would you do here’ had me rolling. Thanks for the company NL

[@yourboy9236]

I like hearing your personality at the same time as talking about the game

[@Rislear]

Add another one to the counter of Runs Ruined by Genesis. Does that make it three now?

[@alexm1376]

the "what would you do here?" killed me

[@crispybb1953]

that genesis left me screaming

[@borgar1765]

NL using platinum god is the greatest character development ever witnessed

[@3run3r]

Oh man, that was one of your best episodes NL, pure unadulterated Isaac pogginess

[@gellertgrof9493]

My man did not noticed that rock bottom worked with star of bethlehem and gae hime 7 tears and 9 dmg permanent... I nearly started crying when he used genesis... and ended up wit 20% less dps and worst items than before...

[@Kippydahcamper]

What an amazing episode. The Genesis on the Rock Bottom, into a less good Rock Bottom, all the Everything Jar theory crafting and planning. Just to end like this.

[@jimiblueochsenknechtfanacc8155]

he will never find out about the incredible rock bottom + star of bethlehem synergy *no cereal*

[@ElPared]

Nuh Uh's effect: On Chapter 4 and beyond, replaces all coin and key spawns with a random pickup. Literally the worst trinket Egg could have picked up, given the situation.

[@ElephantWithAMonocle]

He will never value everything jar *Cereal*

[@Umbra_Eterna]

+1

[@greindes1579]

He spent like 100 charges to get 1 item lol

[@sonofhades57]

It's a troll item.

[@poperg1]

“Is this allowed” is my favorite vine and I appreciate the love it gets from NL

[@MicoDossun]

I feel like Golden bomb every floor is the most important thing you can get out of everything jar. I just don’t see the full charge use at all useful

[@oh_banana]

"What if we start twisting the game around so we're using Tainted Jacob to our benefit instead of the other way around." As it's become commonplace, NL only actively and consciously trying to use a character's mechanics to his benefit when he's extremely close to the end of it's unlocks.

[@tomatocurry1]

Everyone's talking about the genesis play, but no one's gonna talk about how the man's been playing so much tft that he called coins 'gold'?

[@killermelga]

And here I am, the guy who doesn't like to watch movies that much because they are "too long, I could be doing something else"

[@zashukon]

The "Dont blame Rock Bottom" comment reminded me of Lettermans "Dont blame Conan" monologue...I'm pretty sure nobody is blaming Rock Bottom 😅

[@RalorPenwat]

I feel like he meant to say don't blame Genesis

[@CastafioreOnYoutube]

He took Nuh Uh, that is hilarious

[@RalorPenwat]

Episode 96 and he still doesn't know that Strange Attractor is good now.

[@PoppyTheSorcerer]

I'm eating corn on the cob for breakfast so today's a good day, NL uploaded too I guess

[@GoodSmile3]

1:09:12 I'd sincerely respect Anima Sola

[@JaWsOmeNeS]

You can take a free devil deal item every floor, which is nice as tainted jacob

[@maribelle8803]

Genesis sabotaging another run yet again lol, still too fun too pass up though

[@banterbox2925]

Thanks for the company

[@klosterdev]

Everything jar is alllmost as good as pre-nerf Book of Revelations as a spirit heart generator. 8 charges instead of 6, plus you can use it to generate other things if you need them.

[@Dinner_Daddy]

I’m finally caught up with the eggs videos. Started watch his rebirth content years ago and today I’m finally caught up

[@Zedigy]

Something something egg, something something speedrun, something something edmund

[@K4lamazu]

"What would you do here" got me cracking up

[@m.i.a-ethan2421]

Good morning

[@griffstah]

This was an all time classic.

[@thisone98]

What would you do, if you had [THREE GIANT SPIDERS], right in front of you ?

[@miguel7888]

Him running away in panic from a megabomb pickup was hilarious.

[@Blanabaman]

1:03:00 that chest you left had an item in it

[@lukahovanec4192]

1:09:08, the increasingly frequent, you resign now room.

[@flazefeeds381]

Man that room used to be fair pre-repentance. Now it's kinda nutty not gonna lie. Hope it's in the cards for a tweak in a future patch.

[@yourboy9236]

Don't feel pressured to banter

[@JohnDoe-wl5xm]

"i really need more money" god if only you had an item that could get you more money very easily, shame

[@wholehorse331]

Man I just realized he didn't do rock bottom+anything broken on tainted cain because he apparently didn't know how it works.

[@Winston_Payne]

Scissors was buffed. You also could have picked up the Giga Bomb dropped by Everything Jar.

[@toastertwink2537]

"life is like an everything jar" ~Egg

[@butterchuckles9854]

You were so close to the rock bottom + star mega combo. But I admit genesis is hard to ignore. You would have had infinite damage though

[@polixaw1337]

"What would you do here?" famous last words lmfao

[@tinylittlemildred]

Man that widow room finish was amazing. In hindsight? Go right through the one you just killed. But yeah I also probably would have died.

[@XMH_020]

who else screaming at the screen cause he's too scared to pickup the giga bomb? its a boss killer.

[@jessicaworrell6261]

I really want a 🤣 on this video! The end was PRICELESS

[@lapsijahti]

Justin Bieber, Swans, Merzbow... Man has some culture, I see.

[@karolkowalski3842]

THANK YOU FOR A NEW BESPOKEN YT EPISODE

[@rudrod95_41]

That’s goin in a toasty toes highlight real for sure

[@animeye]

So what is the count now? Runs destroyed by Genesis: 3?

[@alexsingleton3513]

My god that end

[@LaserStorm117]

I had to pause the video to go get ready for the impending hurricane and when I came back, you were talking about taking some pills. I was like, "What the heck is going on in FTL?!" Moments later, my brain recalibrated and I realized I was just being a numpty. My conclusion is that I haven't been injecting enough NL into the day.

Bro. Imagine using Everything Jar combined with Expansion Pack.

[@TsukunAP]

am i crazy or did his tears just disappear in the final floor so he was just using tech2?

This man has been leaking an awful lot of private DMs lately. :dangMinkus:

What was the huge bomb?

I wonder if Zane-era NL would have bombed for a broken shovel.

Friday energy, more like fried egg energy amirite?

[@jonathanshemer3636]

i was so mad when he took genesis that i couldnt keep watching

[@jimmynutrin9815]

scissors is good now though

[@AlekVen]

So Genesis has screwed this one up as well, hasn't it. But this time, it is completely NL's fault.

[@taylorcallizo1355]

why apologize for talking about the game? this is what you used to do. you only starting doing "banter" cause you did everything there was to do in isaac. I love your old school game talk rather than the stale memes or grocery store stories. its nice when you focus on what youre playing. I was actually disappointed to find you kept doing it even when repentance released and it was all new content to talk about but it was getting ignored for anecdotes and stuff

[@davidgencher4227]

Yo it wasn’t letting you shoot half your tears on the chest

[@poppyzink]

Stapler + tech 2

[@marcosbrito38]

Wow, Rock Bottom managed to show up twice and did absolutely nothing worth of note both times. I hate how rare this item is considering it can be so fun, but most of the time the run is so stingy with you, it ends up doing nothing.

[@misirtere9836]

Rock Bottom didn't do anything because NL threw out the nigh old-Soy Milk+Libra combo it has with Star of Bethlehem.

[@shielddoespixels704]

I really just got called the fuck out at 4:47 and I do not appreciate it

[@Jade-tr4ee]

THE GENESIS PLAY

[@socialswine3656]

This is the luckiest unlucky run I have seen

[@justsurrealist1533]

I cry

[@spacellamamk1]

NL please don't sing It's Coming Home. England have been winning their Euro Cup matches and people have been singing that song all night every night!
