This came from my Twitch stream on April 6th, 2021. Watch live next time: / northernlion
Dan and I got together to play some cool two player games, and among them was ROUNDS -- a brand new game billed as a 1v1 roguelite shooter. Check it out!
2 circles shoot each other and talk about bread and fancy water for 50 minutes
I almost feel like the fact they were so invested in the conversation took away from their focus on the game. Overall entertaining, but both the convo and the game deserved their own spotlight.
Wait, how Fancy IS the water?
@@huemanporson9954 Fancy enough to be $70
@@droach3151 owch, I don’t think I can handle that water
You just described his formula
NL talking about yeast starters while he and Dan both pick useless skills, Dan picking lifesteal when NL kills him in one hit, NL picking a damage increase when he already oneshots Dan you know the banter's pog when no one's thinking about the game
Damage is its own reward.
yeah but increasing damage higher gives you beefier explosions, which is its own reward
@@jacefairis1289 I didn't notice that until after posting my comment, but yeah, a more impressive explosion is pretty cool even if anything but a direct hit doesn't do anything
This genuinely felt like an incoherent podcast
The build Dan had in the last one was legit as fuck though.
NL: *hits self with own bullet* NL: Oh look we have the same build!
I was kinda surprised when Dan first spoke. I thought that NL was just using Dan as an example and was going to play with randoms, but suddenly having a second person in the video caught me off guard.
King of Retail been reaaaaaallll quiet since Rounds came out
I neeeeed it
Good?
I'm cry
sadge
I miss it
This feels like a Classic NLSS game and I'm here for it.
i cant remember the name of the game but they used to play one like this but better basically
@@cultoftyler9045 Duck Game? That was amazing
Speed runners was a fav
@@popeyesailorman3544 nope
@@cultoftyler9045 definitely stick fight
I think all the times I cried “just shoot the gun!” put me on a watchlist.
Yeah, he kinda always tried to get right into Dan's face.
Same lmao, maybe there’s a cool down?
@@MrUrbnGamr yes there is cooldown
There's speed between shots, and there's reload
When he was blocking tho.
I’m still flabbergasted by the Pepsi vs Coke discussion because to me they taste distinctly different, and I’ve even done a blind taste test and gotten them right each time. To me it’s like wheat vs white bread
yeah me too
Can people not tell them apart? They are both colas, but they taste very different. Like, two red wines from different vineyards and different years are going to taste different
@@waffleman2211 I can tell apart different water brands, but coke and pepsi tasted identical to me the one time I did a taste test
@@waffleman2211 theyre literally almost identical. Thats like trying to differentiate between two packs of milk the difference is incredibly minimal to the point that its not even relevant.
@@frek175 for sure not. They are distinctly different. Like you can also taste the difference in sugar vs light drinks. Its distinct
NL, making bread is perfect for your lifestyle. you mix the ingredient, and knead the bread (by hand or in a mixer) for 15 minutes, and then cover it, record an isaac episode, come back, shuffle it into a oiled bread pan, record another isaac, and then bake it for ~30 minutes.
That doesn't sound like the process for making sourdough. I've got a starter, and it's quite a bit more complicated. You have to mix it, let it sit for ~30 min, fold it, wait another ~30 min, fold it, maybe do one or two more folds after 30 min waits. You then have to bulk rise it for ~4 hours. You then pre-shape it, let it sit for ~20 min, then shape it. You then let it proof for a couple hours at least, up to overnight in the refrigerator. You then bake it for ~40-50 min.
@@Sgman1991 maybe not sourdough specifically but there's plenty of doughs that are like proof once at room temp for an hour, punch down and proof in a fridge overnight or at room temp for another hour. there's definitely breads that can be tailored to an isaac episode schedule
my point is bread is only as complicated as you feel like making it
i'm sure he knows, he used to make bread with his dad.
I thought that some of these levels and the guns looked familiar. Almost everything including the animations and transitions are from an older game from these guys called Stick Fight: The Game
also similar to Duck Game which is an old school NLSS classic
It's definitely super similar to SF and some of the abilities are for sure the same, but I'm relatively confident that the maps are unique (in terms of layout, not theme), and I think that no assets are exactly the same (character models, guns, explosion effects, etc.).
You do know that this is made by the same people who made stick fight right?
Yeah I was certain this would be made by the Stick Fight guys
@@booboo_959 read the full comment, lol
Incredibly pogged to hear of the oncoming NL Food arc
This is the character development we needed
So I just searched the definition of the word pog, poggers, and pogged. The only definition I found of pogged basically meant full.
@@huemanporson9954 it comes from old milk cap games called Pog and became popular from PogCamp, look that up if you want more pogged info
@@8bitbee148 cool
@@huemanporson9954 You're looking in the wrong places. Pog is extremely colloquial so you need to look at urban dictionary and unofficial sites like that
12:34 "I will say this - I got branded last night," woah Dan tmi lmfao
Okay but besides the conversation, that Combine Grow Shot he got was insane
I wish the rounds were long. I want to see the chaotic combos
Modded
Egg, I approve everything you do on twitch and on yt. Although I still want to ask for more king of retail. As of writing this the day is far from over, so there's a chance that you changed your schedule. If so, don't mind the comment. Love your funny words, Egg man.
He hasn't played King of Retail in a while unfortunately due to all the Isaac content. Maybe if he doesn't have a new interesting game to try out/has an empty timeslot in between all the Isaac
10/10 pepsi and coke have completely different flavors. I literally have not mistaken one for the other in my entire life. I'm the cola champ
Someone put this man in office
yea they are literally different drinks
@@cultoftyler9045 A hard one would be Mr.Pibb vs Dr.Pepper
Dan is really chill, it's always great when he's on stream.
Would love to see more of this. Both on KZhead if possible and on stream with the crew. Keep up the good work man.
I could watch this banter simulator for hours, great vid
These streams with Dan have been poggers big time!
=)
Wow that's a crazy king of retail update
all this talk of sourdough starter got me wanting to make my own. I always love you and Dan's banter. its next level.
Try it - it's fun!
LETS GOOO. Landfall said a 2v2 mode is planned and future content updates as well. Goated game
That sounds pretty slik
What's the point of having 10 cups if you're only taste testing 2 liquids? If you can tell the difference you'll get 100% right whether it's 2 cups or 1000. If you can't tell the difference your success rate will tend towards 50%.
in any test of a hypothesis you need to make sure your sample size is big enough
if there are 2 cups, if you cant tell the difference between them you still have a 25% chance of getting them both right. that number goes down the more cups you test
Your last statement is the point of having more. With just two cups, you can completely guess and accidentally get it right but as you have more, it’ll indicate whether or not you can truly tell the difference or are just guessing.
@@PieMan061 Fair enough, I didnt think of people just guessing.
I could 100% correctly guess which is coca cola and which is pepsi from 100 glasses. like i dont understand, they are different drinks they taste different
its like comparing apple juice and orange juice
It’s hard for me to grasp even knowing that tastes are different for people, but I’m with ya. For me, It’s like saying white and wheat bread taste the same because they are both bread.
Dunno about other places but pepsi is way more carbonated where I like its not even a question, or at least the carbonation feels way more aggrasive.
I had no idea you played rounds on your channel before. I've been playing it for well over a year with my friend, and we enjoy it immensely.
"Im so dead." NL's bullet: "you dont even know how right you are."
In reference to the Delorean bit, they were actually made from unpainted stainless steel! That is what gave them their metallic sheen! There were a couple that were painted, but most were predominantly unpainted.
Just throwing this out there: the guitarist from Creed is Mark Tremonti. He is in Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall. Fantastic band. Compare his solo in With Arms Wide Open by Creed to his solo in Blackbird by Alter Bridge. The man shreds, he just needed the right avenue.
Not really my kind of thing, but what a cool design space to work in. So much you could do with a setup like this!
this game has a lot of potential. some of the combos were really cool, those ricochet shots NL was hitting were poggy
So a yeast starter (for anyone who is curious and doesn't care enough to google it) is basically a colony of yeast, either bought commercially or captured from your surroundings. The flavor it imparts is largely due to the strain(s) of yeast that you have in your starter. This is also a large part of developing the flavor of different types of cheeses. You use different strains of yeasts and bacteria to create different flavor profiles as it ages. Likewise, the flavor of a starter will mature and change over it's lifetime. Usually you keep your yeast in roughly a cup of flour (the actual amount is based on the amount of starter you plan on using), and at regular intervals, you have to feed it sugar. When you use some of it in your bread, you simply replenish the starter by adding some more flour, maybe a dash of water, and some sugar (if it needs it) and simply leave your yeast to reproduce. Think of it almost like a needy herb garden. You can mostly ignore it, but it requires regular, simple maintenance, and whenever you need a little bit of it's produce, you simply take a pinch of it.
pet yeast
Time to give this a try, I was pogged for daily King of Retail. But taking a break to not cause burnout is fair! This game seems pretty intresting so far, I'm ready for the complex build battles later on!
Nl hitting himself with his own bullet: Oh, I didn’t know we had the same build.
Fantastic. Seems like a great fit for NLSS. All they need is 4-player
the most renowned starters from bakeries tend to be at least 25 years old and jealously guarded... tbf those loaves are divine
some of the oldest ones in the world are reputed to be 200+ years old
this game is amazing. so glad you showed me.
16:15 When describing the medium, you should probably start with water. Yeast doesn't need you to feed it sweets. It breaks flour into simple sugars already - that's its whole central evolutionary adaptation.
NL telling Dan he has been reading about the stock market before going to sleep, but he has been reading Harry Potter fan fics and that's why he didn't want to give out names.
the stage design and card art is fantastic
10/10 would watch the taste test video/s, please do it lmao. Love this game, hope to see more of it
Glad to discover this was made by the same team as Stick Fight - it would've put a hamper on it if someone else was so obviously aping their visual language.
Second game: Dan: A carefully crafted build that incorporates options for terrain manipulation, consistent damage availability, cqc deterrence, and lifesteal NL: BEEG BOOLET THAT GETS BEEEEGER
yessssss i love this game really helps kill time on a slow day at work
Finally... Hopefully now this game will get enough attention that it finally gets that long awaited 4 player update
There are mods that add 4 player as well as other stuff like rounds longer than 5
The idea of a chat court where you go through unban requests on stream seems so toxic but hilarious
Pogged out of my gourd hearing that NL may make dealing with food!
I love how some of the maps look like they're faces
Came back to this, all that isaac talk about freshness and choice, and now look at it.
so the deal with pearl jam v creed is that you can tell the difference pretty quickly since creed songs always have some kind of veiled religious imagery in like every song.
I think the whole thing about people liking interpersonal conflict is why among us blew up as much as it did
21:20 That sounds like a great Mighty Ducks-style Disney movie for the whole family right there. The local team can no longer compete because everyone got sick, so a bunch of loyal fans play in their stead. ^.^
I'm a simple man. I hear someone mention Shellshock and I POG
I would love to find out what Dan thought doom scrolling was at first. I swear he probably imagined NL writing on a gigantic scroll with a feather pen by candlelight.
That’s absurd. It’s obviously when the Doomslayer writes a letter.
NL complaining about a troll in his chat and Dan laughing is how you know Dan is a true friend.
I heard a story recently of some housekeeping throwing out a family's starter that was about 4 generations old and the family was very distraught. The starter looked like mold
Dan keeping picking lifesteal stuff in spite of all his deaths in that round being him getting oneshot...
36:35 why we love Dan
NL talking about someone having low self awareness while shooting himself 5 times in the last minute and thinking it was the other guy is the content I am here for.
I only just thought about this but Dan in one of the matchs was literally building life steal... against a man with a one shot kill build
I'm glad someone named a Coriander plant after me... I feel honored.
This looks sick
golden age of NL content
coke vs. pepsi, I would absolutely never get one wrong.
fully agreed. so distinct imo
This game is a lot of fun
this game is extremely sick
IT'S THE REAL DAN!!!
I love that moment when my guy Dan fucken loses it at the concept of doomscrolling. Those moments are why Dan is Omegagood.
This game is pog as hell
Get mods, eggo ! It allows you to add loads of whacky cards but more plainly it allows you to play more rounds in a single game, leading to more insane builds!
I feel like you both don't want to destroy the other and just play slow to give each other a chance, but you don't know that about each other.
Air fryer vs convection oven taste test 😈
This is like Move Or Die.
I don't remember the name of the game, but there was a isometric fighting game where you picked up weapons on the map and drafted abilities between rounds. I think it was played on the NLSS a few years ago.
just put a nearly identical reply to someone
You're telling me Dan is from Michigan but is a sharks fan? I don't think that's legal.
My dad has had his grandparents sour dough starter for his whole adult life and its still going strong
this game is so much fun i bought it on launch
Hearing them just talk about nonsense while paying 10% attention to the game and exploring it filled me with pain.
Yo NL PLEASE play more of this
Hyperjam is kind of similar to this but you can also have 4 player. I’d love to see you try it out.
Rogue lineage is another pvp roguelike made in 2019. Imo it has to be one of the hardest games in gaming history, though they did tone down the grind a bit. Before progressing took like a week, the progression is also at a certain point entirely pvp. If you die 3 times, you wipe and have to start all over. There are things like Phoenix downs which will give you a life back, but they are rare. But now progressing takes about 2 days to get through 3/4ths of the progression so it's not too bad now.
Literally described "Rounds" in the very beginning
Soooo true
You can tell Pearl Jam and Creed apart pretty easily for a few reasons: Creed has a lot of songs with clean electric guitar openings or drop-tuned riffs Pearl Jam has more blue, classic rock and punk influence which is reflected in the riffs The two have different guitar tones and production styles Creed has a lot of long slow songs - Pearl Jam does too, but to a MUCH lesser extent. Pearl Jam’s dynamics are less reliant on switching between clean and distorted tones, they still do it sometimes but not as frequently. Creed’s ballads often omit percussion in the first verse, and also their drummer is far more stripped down. Both bands have similar sounding snares, though. Pearl Jam has two/three guitar parts depending on the song, Creed usually has one. The vocals are the most obvious giveaway but even if it was just instrumentals I feel like I could differentiate between the two at least 75% of the time.
Title: The ONLY pvp roughlite? Hyperjam: Am I a joke to you?
Clearly
Ohh we gonna get a Rhett, Link and Dont hurt me Im Ryan video?
The midpoint between Creed and Pearl Jam is Live
Not only am I certain that I could single out pepsi max from any of the coca cola variants in a blind taste test; I'd do it in a smell test alone. My life used to be pepsi max.
"Do you check your emails?" If you're professional, no matter the profession, you have at least one address where the answer is always "yes." NL gets that. That's why he has limits.
I currently have the exact same boom box in my attic
I can absolutely tell the difference between pepsi and coke. I've done it several times heh.
NL and Dan!? heck yeah
40:45 my favorite bit of this vid.
you should play rogue glitch, its also a roguelite you can play with multiple people
I think I had that same boombox!
This game is sick
I've been missing the Duck Game energy
A Pepsi/Coke taste test would be frickin awesome
i would get 100% right
"Who's the alien guy? [In Blink 182] Pete Wentz?"
Good game you two.
Insert king of retail joke here.
