In case they haven't figured it out -- the vine spell and the random-spinning spell are separate things that dan jones just happened to have at the same time
I do know that shifting block arcade game Emmons is describing around 19:20, but it took me a _while_ to figure out what he was talking about based on that description. As usual, debuffs to Perception, Speech, and Windmill Recognition while Lets-Playing.
Not being very good at tetris, and seeing this for the first time, I think the instinct sets in at the outset to build solid blocks. But clearing those rows does not get you anywhere. A small hole does not matter, flat surfaces does. You can see the longer they play, the more their brains start slowly working that out and go for stable taller frameworks and not the normal gigantic blocks. This is fascinating.
Oh, interesting. Tricky Towers, I did not expect this game to be shown off at this time. Seeing people new to the game is a very fun sight, after seeing a certain set of three, sometimes four streamers be very good at the game a couple years back. Namely, one that's pretty twinkly, one like a pizza place, and one with two numbers in them. Good to see the Dan win.

I don't know why these Dan battles make me so happy. I mean, I know only one Dan can ultimately be victorious and there may be teardrops to shed... but... while there's... Moonlight! And music! And love! And romance! Let's face the music... ...and Dans!!!!!
@@stevethepocket Mmmm. Sometimes my brain just goes to an odd place late at night and dredges up stuff from the dim and distant past. This one - well, I wasn't even thinking the original song, but rather an old Morecambe and Wise comedy routine that used it.
The score at the end of the trickiest session of Battle of the Dans 2024! Dan Floyd - 1 Dan Jones - 4 Dan Emmons - 1 Jones - 1 Dans - 1 Remember, these scores are just for fun, and mean nothing at all! Wizard, out!
“I’m beginning to suspect my vengeance will be easy.” Love that line.
"At least I have my lovely little windmill."
Two seconds later: "Oh no! ... My lovely windmill..."
Dan, you DEFINITELY jinxed that!
Don’t throw em in the land of the Dutch with the Windmills.
If he’s in Kinderdijk, that’s the end of
Floyd with the 'I've met players who use powerups and they're all cowards' strategy
I think Dan Floyd might be bad at Legos. He keeps building these single file structures that don't support each other.
Ahh, yes. The deep Windmill lore!!!
We've been blessed
What vid does the windmill thing come from
@@ImNotGoodAtAnimation Tetris effect
Floyd out here with the intresting strat of not using his powerups :p
That seems pretty normal for him, tbh.

Hollow Knight flashbacks of "Dan, Heal. Please!"
I find it endearing, honestly.

7:13 Wow, Emons. Am in awe. Slick
I loved watching your Hollow Night series, I'm surprised to see you only have 134k followers, you deserve more!! Can't wait for you to play Silksong!

5:45 "That, my friend, is how you play Tricky Towers" has the same energy as "Frankly, that's just being a gamer"
I see new Battle of the Dans, I click
Dan not using his super concrete hurts to watch.
I loved the opening 1 minute, what an absolute delight. Excited for the rest too. Such fantastic lines

Jesse what are you talking about?

There are some wonderful Dan Voices
New Dan battles are indeed nice to see.
As much as we all love old favorites (cough ROUNDS cough) this was a delight
I don't know why these Dan battles make me so happy. I mean, I know only one Dan can ultimately be victorious and there may be teardrops to shed... but... while there's...
Moonlight!
And music! And love! And romance!
Let's face the music...
...and Dans!!!!!
Upthumbered for just making me look up what you were referencing and it turning out to be older than I was expecting.

DAN THE MANS
Got my starchy breakfast food of choice, a comfy drink, and Dan³ content. Best way to start off a Saturday.
In the era of flash games, my favorite "tetris with physics" game was 99 Blocks.
17:31 While playing Tetris, no less!
About 2 minutes before Floyd mentions outing himself for bad Tetris skills, I honestly muttered to myself that he wasn't a big Tetris fan.
I suggest the following prizes for the series: winner is known as The One True Dan. Second place is Just Dan. Third place is Other Dan.
When they did the first few BotD way back when, they battled for the title of Dan Prime.
Yess! Good luck Dan!
This is my yearly Olympics, really... And playing Tricky Towers with no knowledge of the mechanics is always hilarious. That was a blast.
Every dam has their day and everyday Ja’s a Dan
Tricky Towers is such a fun game!
ooh yes I love tricky towers
This battle was especially 'fun to watch while knowing I would hate playing' which is a huge draw of this series for me.
May the best Dan win

Dan Floyd making some baffling Tetris decisions here. No, no, wait, I Dan corrected.
Dan can you play dead cells?
Guys you grow up so much 🤔
I was exactly the 2,000th view
Cool
