Northernlion Speedruns a Gambling Addiction 

Where NL succeeds effortlessly and bores quickly, Jerma fails endlessly and obsesses exponentially. Truly a tale of 2 arcade Andys

nl hitting the mega jackpog in the ball drop game = instant dopamine overload

"That's one hour of my father's labor gone" Honestly haven't heard a funnier line than this, holy moly

Alternate title: Northernlion simulates taking a Kick deal

Kate and Luna went to daycare and left Ryan to play coin push. They came back to find Ryan still playing coin push and they told him that he needs to stop and he said no

He saw into an alternate timeline as a gambling streamer playing Popcorn Pete’s coin pushing game. Either that or he experienced brain death. Anyway those are my favorite games at the arcade

Seeing someone else play the Jerma Cointainment Facility game is a weird experience

NL playing Cuckoo Coins was the moment he truly became his father. Kate: It’s time to go Ryan Ryan: I don’t want to..

"Back when a quarter was worth 25 cents" if this aint a prophecy, I never seen one

Speaking of your infinite quarters trick, when I was a kid we went camping who knows where and they had a soda machine outside of like a bathroom for the campsite (we really roughed it). I think it was a national park or something. The soda machine would only spit out every other soda that was purchased, but when it did it spit 2 sodas out at once. The one you bought and the one the last sucker tried to buy. I hung out by the bathroom buying two sodas for the price of one each time a mark came by and lost a dollar, I would even through in a line like "Yeah the last couple people that came by had that happen as well" before getting my root beer and free random beverage.

Look at how locked in he is at 23:06 , bro didn't blink for like 3 minutes

"No matter how well you did, you never got anything to show for it, your money was just gone" NL clearly never got good enough to make the top high score "ASS". I grew up in a small town near an arcade with only a handful of games in it (X-Men vs Street Fighter, Metal Slug 1+2, Mario pinball, Big Buck Hunter KKona, Raiden, Hydro Thunder, and a few I forget) and I made it my mission as an early teen to take as many high scores as I could because there's very few feelings better than putting semi-profanity on the leaderboards at the age of 14. I've also actually won the jackpot on the real life version of that wheelspin game. Insanely pog moment, but minors really shouldn't be allowed to partake in such gambling behaviors. Rng machine with lights and sounds vs human mind is an 80-20 matchup.

"1 play equals 20 plays who the fuck did that math the Bounty Paper Towel Corporation"?

the popcorn one is just brainrot the machine.

Oh my god the ending song… I remember it. Such a delightful little song about a man losing his mind fishing, don’t you remember it Zach?

23:27 made me actually laugh out loud

After working at an arcade for years, I still never knew how most of these coin pusher games worked

NL's pinball story reminds me that once, as a kid, while bored in our local pub (the 80's, hooray!) I was just pressing the 'collect' button on the slot machine they had there and after like, a lot of presses, it spat £1 out. Ever since I've hit the collect button on any slot machine I walk past, just in case.

he's pegging me so hard with this gameplay

The secondhand brain melt is significant

5:16 11,037 dollars? IT'S LEON!

5:40 You mean to tell me NL didn't have a take on discord sleep calls? I don't believe it

So true NL, I miss when quarters used to be worth 25 cents.

15:28 that joke made me laugh embarrassingly loud

The best thing about being 34 is being able to understand and appreciate NL's music jokes

I get why NL doesn't want to play these games long-term, but his banter MIXED with the gameplay is usually SSS+ tier and makes me sad we only get one...But it'll make me cherish it that much more

Food for thought: "Victor Wembanyama" fits perfectly into the main phrase of the Deadly Premonition Whistle Song. I'm not gonna write the parody, but someone else should.

The Mark Z. Danielewski line got me so good

It’s the Clint Stevens prolonged break VOD backlog clearing game Pog

my culture is not your docket entry, nl

I wanna watch him play Yakuza and get lost in time at the arcade

Broke: omg he hit jackpot Woke: babe wake up he’s sufjan posting again

Little does NL know that the first caveman who created the wheel did so to facilitate a spin cycle for a slot machine.

when he went up to popcorn pete he was cooked

Discord kids pretending to invent a sleep call like I haven’t been passing tf out on Skype since 06

Holy shit the egg is so cracked im having breakfast

Nothing will top Aris playing this game. But I wish NL would play survival, looking for schemes to make money to survive with tickets and gambling is fun and gives purpose to playing games.

The cam gradually growing during an angry rant is extremely intimidating

I can't believe he brought back The Coin Game. I was so hyped.

The Sufism Steven’s bit is gold

did he just drop a fucking house of leaves reference off the dome while playing a brainrot arcade game

Ok but hear me out, if they didn't put an out of order sign when from what he said the pinball machine wasn't working (since he didn't even get to play, unless his dad just didn't let him I guess) that's on them.

God when he got to the Popcorn machine I was losing it

the clip of dale cooper yelling hellooo and then getting a jackpot would be the 2ndJerma intro and he just made a twin peaks reference as I was typing this comment

my dopamine receptors were so pogged up for the whole stream

As an arcade worker Ive seen people drop thousands of dollars on the marvel coin pusher I saw this guy come in every weekend drop 300$ on the marvel coin pusher. He did get like two of our consoles but still it is actually addictive.

nl really be throwing out house of leaves and twin peaks double references out here

the reactions are insane

This looks like a game you’d build in little big planet tbh

24:04 fucking murdered me

Popcorn Pete's is crack on crack

HE’S SO GOOD AT WHEELS

Like father like son

I kept waiting for him to turn around and there be 2 big dudes in suits ready to take him in the back room for cheating

The Bounty joke was goated

This is the last game I would expect NL to be playing. This is such a zoomer XQC pilled game.

13:17 Dota reference Cereal

I miss Clint Stevens so badly

Ah this throw me back of Mon bazou era

23:13 lmao

The weirdest thing about this stream was when he was robbed by the leaderboard and then got gaslit by chat into forgetting he won 1K tickets on the fish wheel

23:30 this is what i was seeing in my head all along

4:28 The price is right keeping kid's dreams down.

Not a cellphone in sight ❤

Drop coin with Interac was a great bit. Gigadat homie.

HOLY Shit Nova scotia mentioned!!

I love the outro song

The coin game

Outro goes hard, thank you Librarian

Congrats librarian, this one is doing numbers. Hope you treat yourself to some grub hub.

1:21 not even 2 mins in and im in tears 🤣🤣

There was actually only 23% anime pfps in case anyone else was wondering.

I wish for someday to be half the gamer this Egg is.

What's that outro song? I remember its in some Wii horror game and its quite catchy

Coin pushers are the most depressing game in the arcade

On that same trip to Nova Scotia NLs motel room got broken into and his game boy was stolen. I think they were two different motels though

23:30 Humanity is cooked.

Idk why but this video comes off like an ad when scrolling and I almost ignored it

he has so many good one liners

My family found a vending machine that would take a golden dollar and count it then spit the dollar out

What did he trade all them tickets for?

ticket vs coin arcade

chiblee simulator

I’m whatever generation that would rather watch arcade gameplay rather then go play irl

22:49

Maybe a dumb question but how is the chat synced better than any other streamer’s vod?

Need him to go to an arcade irl

Not bragging but my youngest son has hit the jackpot on two different giant wheel spins before the age of 6.

Such a funny stream.

found this man on tik tok and i feel like ive now entered a new realm

Nl should have never stopped playing dunko - no reason to continue any content past that. Peak era over!

That ball drop game is my bitch at the arcade

Why Does this weirdy Sniff or talk about sniffing things😂

He played this game before right? Or did I imagine that and him dying to hunger like 3 times

im pogging my gourd rn

I've always loved old school arcade games but it only just occured to me that yeah.. they're all for real gone, and not just cus they slowly died out, but because we realised we could hook kids on gambling early. Like, that's extremely obvious, this is a stupid realisation for babies, but damn bro. I'm like heartbroken. Kids should have games at their arcades not this crap.

Is NL being auto tuned at the end or did he kill that

No joke, I figured out how to make a ton of money on popcorn pete

16:16 10:45 12:00 14:00

Wait what's the outro song did NL play deadly premonition?
