The Return of Tetris 99 - 30 Year Old Boomer [Episode 5]

[@G4m3fr34k94]

Terminology: Wyatt: as in Wyatt Earp, a famous sharpshooter and best gun in the West.means getting targeted by a better player who sends insane amounts of garbage Rorschach Situation: Having lots of attackers in the beginning Garbage Hole: The place you need to clear to in order to clear lower lines Building a Summer Home in the Garbage Hole: Ignoring to clear the garbage hole and adding more lines on top of it Radio Silence: Stop talking because of pressure from attackers or we’re in the top 10 Madcatz’d: Fumbling the controls Compromise: Understanding that a saving piece won’t come til later so a piece must be put in a nonoptimal place Run your sets: Not worrying about others and just do you Caged Animal: Backed up like an animal when you are trying to survive when your tower is near the top of the screen Send em: Clearing lines (usually a tetris) to send garbage to other players Thanks for holding it for me: When a badgelord is a pretender and gives you your deserved badges Haunted Controller: When your controller takes over making you place a piece in a spot where you didn't want it to go

[@icp7201]

He doesn't use my favorite one anymore: Teddy Spin

[@Qril]

@@icp7201 You mean the legendary Theodore Spin?

[@nandorduka504]

what about haunted controls or whatever he calls it?

[@MangoFishSocks]

What is a badgelord and what is a tetris?

[@MossyQualia]

Mango FishSocks badges are earned through ko and they act as multipliers for the garbage you send. A badgelord is someone who has earned many badges, and taking out a badgelord gives you their badges. Tetris is just when you clear four lines at once.

[@calebdavies526]

remember when NL used to actually shut up when he said "radio silence"

[@Sabre1ewan]

No. That never happened!

[@Biosquid239]

Remember when he did this very episode

[@Biosquid239]

And then he dabbed

[@irurwurst]

he's never actually done that, dude

[@Mysticfateee]

Funny because when he did in this video he won... Honestly i don't see why it's so hard for him to actually "radio silence" and mean it. Just pretend you're playing in your own time after saying radio silence, it's not like he talks while he plays in his free time right?...

[@weeamood9615]

The two other dudes in top 3 took the biggest L-piece in history

[@MRCOLOURfilld]

Is Tetris 99 becoming Agar.io with bots??

[@austinvanderveer213]

I'm guessing that player is a kid that doesn't know you can speed up the blocks falling. And maybe he doesn't know how to spin blocks

[@aumetra]

'The character arc here is not "Man has Lost All Mojo"' I'm crying. But also, it's true! We're back!

[@Knight-Storm-Gaming]

That smile was worth 5 episodes of waiting the king is back baby!!!

[@crusherbanshee]

This is definitely one of my favorite series from NL its so exciting. You never know when egg is gunna go super sayian or super bust

[@aGemmstone]

I'm no expert, but I think if NL learned to fix cursed buildings by line clearing (example, when you leave two spaces at the side, so you use an L or a T to clear one line and fill a column), and stopped depending so much in long pieces, he actually could have a big boost in his winrate

[@WadeAlma]

This and if he just saved his long pieces more. He died almost every time vecause ge wouldn't save it.

[@SgtCyprus]

Played out your mind at the end there! Well done, my dude

[@BeTheLaw]

Thank you for these Tetris videos NL. It's even more enjoying to watch knowing that you are enjoying the game as well.

[@meanbluepanda9237]

the lesson we learn this episode is if NL says radio silence and actually follows through with it then he can actually play well and may win

[@_Crumpet]

The pure manliness coursing through NL's veins at 23:40 is beyond explanation. You be proud, NL.

[@dored85]

Also, impeccable play on the top 10 of the last game. Not a single missplaced piece! Dayum boi!

[@TheStashOfNash]

I just want to say the ghost controller has been resolved as of yesterday's stream! He won I believe 3 times and got top 2 within that time. Victories are within his grasps!!!! edit. ALSO he learned that when multiple people are targeting you, small combo's is better than tetris's. The man is unstoppable

[@ImEverythingYouCrave]

aghhh spoilers dude

[@Sabre1ewan]

He learned it, but does he still know it now?

[@TheStashOfNash]

@@ImEverythingYouCrave Fuck I'm so sorry man it's still worth a watch on stream!

[@TheStashOfNash]

@@Sabre1ewan He doesn't know either of the two situations on this series. Probably won't for the next 10 or so episodes

[@dored85]

He is beginning to believe!

[@madisonbryant4417]

I had to speak with the principal in an Australian school for not having sung the national anthem with enough pride when it was my first day of school in Australia after having just moved from NZ

[@TheBlackwolf5011]

I'm not usually that guy, but I miss the original aesthetic.

[@FunkyToe369]

Its reasonable, the donkey kong background is just a bit too visually busy.

[@davidhong1934]

@@FunkyToe369 It's punishment until he repents for his misplays

[@syren6371]

Hate the DK theme. Enemy badge counts are too damn small.

[@beeteljuice]

The music is too annoying on this board. It's too busy and just distracting. I definently prefer the original board

[@futhington]

The worst part is no Tetris theme, which is an absolute slapper

[@RurouniFlojo]

Yo nl can you be persuaded to change back to the original style? I miss the classic tetris theme while watching those, it's the original banger

[@dud3inator]

My dude keeps blocking the garbage hole 1-2 drops away from the long piece.

[@litapd311]

Damn dad, you really engaged Wyatt mode that last game.

[@StealthyTigerx]

I cannot get enough of this series!

[@timothycoffman3436]

NL, you make up for your singing voice with your exceptional speaking voice, so clear and crisp, reminiscent of the patriarchal figure some of us imagine we had.

[@dj8067]

these bring me life

[@IeshiAke]

WAKE ME UP INSIDE!1!!!

[@JordanRA]

NL brings me life in general. Idk what i'd do without my daily dose of egg

[@BeaverOfDooom]

The madman, he has actually done it!

[@Ibrakadabra1994]

I know it's a dumb thing to complain about, but it's amazing how much the original theme adds to the video

[@clbmurat]

Why do I get excited when I am watching tetris? I must be getting old.

[@RAGINGcajunAsian]

grass grows, sun shines, NL builds on the garbage hole

[@Shade-lt6cn]

In this episode, the egg man once again ascends into an egg lord (probably momentarily)

[@MarklarRavencrest]

I am usually the first person to support change, but I miss the default bangers! Other than the music, I don't care.

[@Lithium9672]

LEEEEEEEEEEETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

[@NekoNikkiNyan]

THANKS FOR FREAKING HOLDING THEM

[@busorenkin55]

@8:44 that was a winnable run if you waited a second later to use the long piece instead of the L piece

[@PoeticMistakes]

"yesterday" he says as though he isn't still on the end page

[@TheRobinCat]

Maybe he just put the switch on standby and resumed from right there. Usually the game would give you an error and have to reload so idk.

[@fallingsnow9246]

Yo Ryan, when the spice is high and a lot of people are out for your blood don't forget to switch to attackers. Instead of sending 11 lines to one poor soul you can send em to many greedy wannabee-Wyatts.

[@MrMagicoGuy]

That last game was a great performance egg dad

[@Nicktals]

Dang some fire at the end. Nice dub.

[@SovietOnion]

NL NL... while the long piece can send a “full Tetris” as in 4 lines, the T piece is still king of the pieces due to its versatility and damage-per-resource capability. A t spin double sends the same amount of damage clearing 2 lines as a Tetris does clearing 4, essentially giving you double efficiency. The T piece also allows you to perform a t spin triple which is the single highest damage line clear in the game (large combos non withstanding).

[@frking100]

He already stated he wont do t spins because if he needs to rely on t spins to win then he is not in an enjoyable mmr for him to play and commentate on

[@JadeAndTofu]

The last game my man fucking ascended let's actually go.

[@UberMcFailsauce]

Thanks for the company

[@lAmCanad1an]

Wins 1 game out of the last 12... _I told you! I FREAKING told you! We're back!_

[@blackforesthamsandwich2310]

Bet you didn't notice that when he switches pieces the tetromino in the top left turns into cursed 3D garbage

[@gtjus]

I had a party at my dorm in uni. It was alright. I came back come from the club to cook some food and sleep and here is NL with the tetris play, I feel much better that our kitchen is destroyed by 17 year olds10/10.

[@gtjus]

im a Scandinavian

[@alexanderfacemire1584]

I love this series.

[@Drakatha1337]

Never really noticed before but eggcam and radio silence is a highly cursed combo

[@captainsqually]

Thank you based NL for the gift of this video.

[@yasinachekzai2567]

You went full berserk in the last game, NL! Amazing W!

[@williamhenning4700]

God that win was glorious.

[@storrn5173]

This is good my man ,, keep sendin em

[@We1mann]

The top ten music is pretty hype at least.

[@universtechno]

The best DAb ive never seen !!!! GJ between !!!

[@bamsmashes]

Yo, what a wins at the end. Even better that the glorious one on stream.

[@chinthechin2892]

I think the perceived disrespect of the long piece stems not from the horizontal placing but from using an L piece to fill a large hole when the next piece is a long. Wait it out NL please it is frustrating to both me and you

[@BlackSheepDream]

Yet this layout, the music doesn’t slap as much.

[@loganvain3]

And we freaking earned it!

[@yodagaming3252]

Yeah we back baby

[@xino_z]

That last 1 was the bomb

[@Mexiturtle345]

egg has seen the matrix once again

[@Mego962]

You are playing well egg

[@mattp12]

Does this egg really still not know that the tspin notifications are his own tspins

[@varocal8514]

Please dad stop using the dk skin it makes me want to pull my eyes out of my face

[@FairweatherBaah]

Friendship ended with Afterbirth Plus Tetris 99 is my new best friend.

[@Snageta1]

Egg, I beg of you: please bring back the original music. You can keep the DK art if you want, all I ask if for the tetris theme.

[@scoobyshag85]

He’s done it! Let’s freakin go bois!

[@WeiseGuy91]

I love the DK theme, but at the same time the music from the original theme was much better imo. Maybe you can change back? =D

[@Empireo-]

I'm sad NL changed the theme, I loved the music of the original one.

[@BrownElectrons]

Well played NL

[@FuddyAndRy]

Hit 'em with the dab, dad!

[@robertbrush6745]

Sometimes nl plays and I'm like man this dude is bad and sometimes he beats off a double team for a win and I'm like how fortunate I am to watch

[@JordanRA]

I like to think of Eggdad as a wild card. I got that feeling back when him and the boys were playing pubg. You see glimpses of legendary status and other times you get a bit of a slump. But when NL does great, BOY is it ever fun to watch

[@Antibeck]

Well played my Canadian son. I am proud as your American father. Continue to dab on those L-piece haters.

[@syx3s]

holy shit dude. that's all i've got to say at the end of this video.

[@BenRHarsh]

"Gotta send one back at attackers" he says while only defending. NL, you don't send any garbage back when you have garbage in the hopper. After you clear those out THEN you can send them back at attackers.

[@flamebeard10339]

bring back the tetris music!

HE HAS DONE IT
