Slay the Spire-inspired tower defense with 96%+ positive reviews (Emberward) 

”I’m not much of a shapes guy” Yes NL, we have noticed

First time watching you, stayed entirely for your energetic tangents on fruits and lawn care

Inside me is a Type A screaming at the plays, inside me is a Type B pogging at the banter

"My bagel journey is very complicated" now that's an all-timer NL line right there. Belongs on a shirt.

Love hearing the banter and will always come back for it but jesus man. Watching you build a maze is giving me a freakin aneurysm.

man says he buys two bunches of bananas when he goes to the store. says he thinks berries are over bought. yeah man, you're doing the buying

6:22 Semi-Middle age posting: I’m not far enough along to buy a home but I’m renting a bungalow. Man it feels good to garden again. It’s been years since I had a front/backyard and the weeds on this place almost reach my waist. It’s a jungle here and normally most people would just turn away; me, man I’ve been fiending to pull weeds for over 10 years. I can’t wait to start mowing myself, but having issues with the gravel driveway and mixing in with the yard I don’t want to mow rocks and shoot a window/ect. Thank you for reading “my life” posting: have a great day!

Game in the description "Emberward", game in the category of the video "Slay the Spire" The egg is truly cooked

I LOVE NL PLAYING NEW ROGUELIKES

Love the art design of this

“My bagel journey is very complicated ok?” Representation is important and I feel seen

He certainly wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't a "shapes guy"😂

"A relative oldhead- AKA watching for two months" is funny as hell for me. Despite my lurking and youtubing for- oh damn its been 5 years- well I was about to say Ive always felt that NL viewers were older than me and have been around longer, but now that Ive thought about it maybe I am a bit of a genuine oldhead. Thanks for makin me feel old on this beautiful Friday night, NL

NL is far more intelligent than I could ever hope to be, but his spatial reasoning needs work. So many missed opportunities to extend the path because he cuts off half the level with his blocks.

''We could structure a maze so that it's a straight line''

I can get over "behgel"

4:50 holy shit you just casually drop lyrics from Liquid swords like that? Instantly subscribed

He's prolly not gonna read this, but if you mix the greek yoghurt with some protein powder and layer it ontop of the oats, then add frozen summer fruits on top it's absolutely god tier

NL is my favorite. So happy for him and everything he has accomplished over the years.

Guy who has only ever played Slay the Spire playing a different deckbuilder: OMG this is just like Slay the Spire!!!

watching him play this reminds me of SAP, big deck ripping energy throughout all the misplays but i love it hahahah

When I was young, I never thought I would become Type A. Egg truly changed me.

The best way to make me buy a game is to watch NL play it at the absolute worst level

lol that first "maze" adding ~8 additional steps for most of the enemies

BC is just north of the place that produces the most apples in the world. Washington is huge for apple production. Also, Apple harvest begins in summer and ends in fall. So they're definitely good in the summer.

Chatter: I love granny Smith apples NL: See, that is why you hate apples

This game legit looks great. I saw it on steam yesterday but the screen shots didn't sell me on it but the gameplay looks chill

Oh my gosh, the flashbacks to him "creating a maze" well outside the intended play area

Hate to break it to you. That chest full of prizes meant everyone who guessed won one.

I've been watching your spelunky 2 series recently, and i want to commend you on how much better you look 4 years later. Glad you seem to be taking care of yourself!

this is pretty interesting ngl bc the two minute timer forces nl's banter to be more concise and streamlined - plus the game looks good I'll cop this

as a person from Ontario Canada, a local town near me has a fair every autumn called Apple Fest; booths selling freshly picked farm apples, apple pies, candy apples, apple fudge, bobbing for apples to win little apple themed novelty junk, apples all around! Whole city block filled with apple themed booths as far as the eye can see and it's packed to the brim with happy apple consuming customers. I'm thinking maybe apples are more skibidi pogchamp in Canada perhaps?

Here I am again, 4 am, watching Northernlion call me out for my sleep schedule.

i appreciated the joanna newsom "peach, plum, pear" joke

first video of yours I've watched and your commentary is God tier

Honestly i always chuckled at his spatial gameplay but after not being able to figure out how to habdle a hair iron on one side of my head, but i can on the other, ive been made to realise that maybe all humans cant rotate shapes

The casual Liquid Swordz quote is INSANE

The return of Rogue Tower and NL focusing on only upgrading 1 or 2 turret types and neglecting the rest😭

Why does he say ''bagel'' like Britta?

its so hard watching someone put all the towers shooting before they even get slowed....

While you could get a "fresh apple" that wasn't harvested in our fall, about 5% of apple consumption in America is from importation. Canada is a different story. While they produce plenty of fruits, apple production has been in decline for several years. Chile is a large exporter of apples and they have their fall towards the beginning of the year, and they are Canada's second largest apple importer. He _could_ be eating fresher apples than ones harvested the year prior. Here's the search engine magic for apple storage on why you can consume them from a far-off date: "Apples are available year-round because they are stored in controlled atmosphere (CA) storage rooms after harvest. These rooms are temperature and humidity-controlled, and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide are adjusted to put the apples into a state of hibernation. This process slows down the apples' natural production of ethylene, which slows down the ripening process and senescence. Apples can be stored in CA rooms for up to 12 months, and can even continue to carry out chemical processes like taking in oxygen and creating energy while they are in storage."

pogged, i would love to see more of this game

You might love my overnight oats recipe! Start by mushing 1 banana, big spoon of PB, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/3 oats, 1 tbsp hemp hearts and chia seeds. Dash of cinnamon

I watched this entire video in my chair with no clothes because of how awesome this game looks and how great Lion does his videos I've now bought the game thanks!

23:58 is my favorite part :D

I miss the live super show a lot. I used to watch those livestreams while i worked nights. Good times.

So glad nl’s playing this great game

Alternative Title: Old Man Shakes Fist at Rubiks Cube Website

Don’t know if you’ll see this but my personal favourite bagel place is in kits, it’s called Siegels bagels. Definitely recommend it.

Watching NL play tower defence will brings out such mixed feelings in me 😂. Literally the most entertaining gamer there is.

saw this release in the steam shop and instantly thought of NL. happy to pog along!

Man NL I havent been online in a while and seeing you now... you look like a whole different person. Also glad your vid is the first on my feed as I come back

Slavishly devoting yourself to a lawn is the most soft brained suburbanite thing possible

The yapper evolves

Fruit banter + peak game = peak egg (plz play this game more)

entire series of this please

i’m going to try working “you’re a time traveler from the great depression” into my vocabulary

_"Shocking. Man loves his apples too much, asked to leave some for other customers."_

yooooooooooooo a joanna newsom reference??? immediate subscribe but also what u got against pears

My work uses google suite and that google chat notification gave me a genuine jumpscare 😂

Blueberry bushes are a keystone species and should always be respected

4:48 amazing liquid swords reference

Played this along with my kid, we love it.

NL singlehandedly will keep the roguelite genre alive for years

I've been on an overnight oats kick, and it is a super food. Great tasting and healthy for you.

Was looking forward to this game. It being in Early Access though dissapoints me greatly. I wish games just came out finished.

I love how many times he swears while commenting on how much adults without kids swear

This block placement makes me think this will be like Rogue Tower all over again.

Tetris type B theme was underrated, everyone always goes straight to Type A

NL has the mindset of a man twice his age; truly impressive

He's got the entire filmography stored up in his cerebral cortex, but he can't build any form of efficient maze. Granted he doesn't have to, since his goal is to have fun, but man does it annoy me.

34:28 "We can structure a maze so that it's a straight line" ... Who's gonna tell him

b a g g l e

Joanna Newsom mentioned. Glad to come back to this channel and instantly understand a reference.

If you want to add a little sweetness, stew some strawberries and put them on top of your overnight oats once cooled 🤤

I’ve had sleep paralysis so many times I can almost talk out loud during them. I can mumble loud enough that my partner wakes me up if she’s not asleep yet 😅

This guy does tangents better than anyone ik in person

Apples are good, but stonefruit are just better. I just feel bad for anyone who has to slander nectarines because they fear that their chosen fruit is inferior

We’re roguelite guys, of course we want NL to play more embersward

HEY WTF Thanks, i've been looking for STS-like stuff

That’s right it goes in the square hole

this game is epic, just needs more CONTENT!!!

He's just like me, an overnight oats enjoyer

Mowing ur lawn is accepting a dumb job forever

They did a great job on this game.

This Slay the Spire-inspired tower defense with 96%+ positive reviews still randomizes content the old-fashioned way.

Mowed lawns are a thing of the past. Let your plants grow to help insects have a habitat and spend less water. Make a path were you walk and spend time and leave the rest until after blossoming.

Hey NL, I would happily watch a video of this game if you enjoy playing it. Thanks for the content!

Dear NL, unfortunately I got an ick from your nectarine incident. Very American moment, ngl. Any fruit that you buy continues to ripen so what you have to do is simply wait for the nectarine to be soft, give it a few days. Yours Truly, stream enjoyer.

why does he say bagel like that? 💀

this game was made to fry eggman's brain.

This game pegs me up, lets go dude

Oddly I'm farther ahead on my phone than my PC...Dig the Slay the Spire. :)

I feel like pears and apples, you gotta find the right variety. Some are trash tier. Butter pears? Oh boy, get one of those and they are tender and delicious

reminds me more of monster train than slay the spire, especially with the rune slots on the cards and the flame at the center with hp

2:04 NUT NUT NUT

dude, frost focus and calipers is the only way i've ever beat A20 as Defect.

NL is officially a boomer, now. So sad.

Spending $100 drawing cards to not place them :( Saving $200 in the bank while taking damage instead of buying towers :(

What does it have to do with Slay the Spire?
