IMPORTANT! Channel Update (Streaming, New PC, and Poison Mushroom)

[@brokengirrafe]

December 2020 - Watching NL's content since the first season of Poison Mushroom. Hilarious that, despite all the things that have changed in his life (and our lives, hopefully) this past decade, Isaac has remained the only constant.

[@Northernlion]

Worth nothing that we probably won't see much Dota 2 on the channel. Rather it'll be on the stream. Don't worry, this isn't turning into like a Dota 2 tutorial channel or anything. The content will be predominantly the same as it's always been, there will just be more of it.

[@bobocruze]

Now i'm getting excited for the live Poison Mushroom episodes. Went back and rewatched all of the 1st season.

[@nickyjules10]

Congrats for the great progress man, been subbed for a while and you're probably my favorite commentator. Two videos a day seems like a lot more work, but I'm definitely not complaining. And I'm not a fan of DOTA, but regardless I'll try to catch your streams whenever I can find time. Poison Mushroom is great as well. Overall, keep up the great work!

[@Trikamatari]

Lots of great news. Just would like to say that the frame rate thing really does matter to me, I did think it was bringing the quality of the Isaac lets play down a bit. Happy that you are fixing it. Keep making the great content and I will keep watching :)

[@JWhite9000]

I'm sure you have a backlog of games/gaming in general to do when you get that beast going, but you should totally spoil us with a double upload of Issac mayhem!

[@shinigamiryuk]

I'm enjoying your post-commentary on Poison Mushroom - I just laughed a LOT more when it was done live. But I can see why post-commentary would work better on something like your Bomberman video where listening to you bash it would be more funny than watching you play it. So anyway, looking forward to a mixture of both! Streaming for the ULTIMATE INTERACTIVE NORTHERNLION EXPERIENCE sounds like a ton of fun. I'll try to join as many of those as I can. And hopefully learn some Dota 2 on the way.

[@Northernlion]

It was a loss in my heart :( Also this is FIFA 12, not FIFA 11. Not sure what I was thinking!

[@btwbrand]

Wish he has told more about the system spec, I'd like to know what motherboard, heat syncs, memory brand speed and timings, power supply, case, fans, all that crazy stuff. Dang-it!

[@ZekeWatson]

Personally I like your post-commentary on Poison Mushroom. It helps the series stand out from most of your current videos. For example; if I watch your LP of Isaac and then watch Poison Mushroom (current season) I can tell that they are 2 different series due to how they are presented. With the first season of Poison Mushroom the only thing that made it stand out from your other videos was the title graphic. I still enjoyed both seasons by the way.

[@Palomides959]

So excied for these new changes! Northernlion is one of my favorite Lets players, by far.

[@xsariax]

Live commentary is the shit, North. Your reactions are priceless... and I must say, you and TB are the only guys are the internet that have a legit "man scream"

[@bennopantsful]

Thanks for the update. Keep up the hard work buddy!!! Love you.

[@plasticallan]

Congrats the computer. I appreciate the dedication you have to us NL.

[@lithiumproject]

Glad to hear about the hardware upgrade.. looking forward to more videos! Inspired me to start doing them!

[@MrAda5tra]

All NL, all the time! Yaaaahh! I'm looking forward to the DotA 2. I actually have never played the game, got really into it when you did the coaching session with purge, subscribed to him because of it, now I'm always on his stream, seen you there a fair bit too. All good news man! Look forward to the uploads.

[@DegenTP]

You could use your current computer to help with the work load rendering/uploading stuff maybe while you play/record on your new beast machine? Or would the transfers just take too long?

[@graverobber327]

The new computer sounds awesome. Great setup you have there. Can't wait to see the new content!

[@sourcherrydrops642]

This is fantastic news, looking forward to the live streaming! :)

[@Dragonemperess]

Thank you for PM. I can only imagine how painful it was to play that Bomberman game. I think it was purposely made to crush spirits.

[@vordrax1014]

NL, what time (and timezone) do you think most of your streaming will occur? For those of us who may not live in your timezone (EST here.) Thanks in advance.

[@MCeeEscher]

Hey northern, really really excited for the DOTA stream, and congrats on the new computer. Looking forward to more content out of your channel as well. Cheers!

[@Crazeddingo]

OpenCL is something you might want to look into for your current set up if you didn't already have this in mind.

[@MegaBoris1994]

thank you for the streams being uploaded to youtube! i'm in australia and probably wont get to see them

[@etd7935]

i always prefer live commentary and def post a youtube vid announcing when the live chat will be. dont wanna miss it

[@That1GuySumwere]

Northernlion you can get money for adverts on Twitch TV which, I think, is a fairly faster queue for sponsorship.

[@sabin129]

Yay for the switch back to live commentary on poison mushroom.

[@redrobinand3]

go go ati!!!!!! btw the specs you gave out are pretty godly GRATS!!!!!

[@joshvuh]

For streaming I would recommend downloading xsplit, it's what most people use to stream on Twitch.

[@TheMercesa]

Good for you NL. I also got a new pc =D I can compare mine very closely to yours.

[@DoubleD5540]

Holy damn Northernlion, I shit a brick when I heard you mention the Core I7, yours costs 1K USD >.< I have also been swooning over the Radeon 7900 series hardcore. Needless to day, I have a pretty serious case of penis envy right now. Good luck with the computer, and I can't wait for the new content.

[@cacherow]

Your new PC is actually a time machine!

[@Voyix]

Ryan, I'd just like to let you know, that I'd watch your Content if you were doing a let's watch Grass Grow, with Commentary. Recorded on a potato. You're very entertaining and I am always happy when you put out a new video, keep it up :D

[@HorrorsPersist]

do you have a capture card to stream of your xbox? and are you gonna stream off your xbox?

[@MrAndersonTheGamer]

same, i have an i7 2600k gtx 590 and 8 gig ram, you don't even need 6gb for any game on the market

[@Johnjkngbaup]

Crossfire is massive pain in the ass to deal with sometimes though, and some things it really doesn't work out all that well. One good card is far superior to multiple okay ones, it's a lot less of a hassle.

[@Alibambam]

Looking forward to the streams, hope you can show off your badass invoker

[@LateLJ]

New series: Let's put it that way

[@ash1soccer]

That computer is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I am extremely jealous.

[@VonFalcon47]

Damn NL, your PC is BEAST!!!

[@finowa]

man, with all those hertz and rams you should try creating a GUI interface using visual basic, see if you can track an IP address

[@Garawra]

Yeah dude, that PC is an absolute BEAST.

[@RandomBat]

Northerlion, as an overseas fan i just hope that you would upload atleast some of the live stream content into youtube, as i and i'm sure some other fans around the world won't be able to see it because of the time zones diffrences.

[@Taszlan]

2 videos per day = goodbye firnds, goodbye life, there's stuff to watch on the internet!

[@Crazeddingo]

Your specs seem pretty good Northernlion. The next time you upgrade look into getting a video card that can handle CUDA(NVIDIA) processing this will help a lot with rendering videos. I'm not sure if Vegas supports it but with but with adobe premiere I can do like a 20 min video at around a half hour 1080p h.264. Check out my videos to see the quality.

[@meshakgirl]

Yes!! More video content. I enjoy watching you play so much. I actually check my KZbin frequently to see what you have posted. Especially being a girl, your voice is alluring...or that could just be that its funny listening to you comment on everything.

[@alclonen]

Two videos a day and live streaming? A-fucking-mazing

[@MrAidenMurphy]

When you said you where gonna get a new computer that will run Isaac faster I thought you'd end up with something like a 2500k and a GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570 but dude.... Just wow, you really went all out!

[@gtautis]

Scientists in NASA: "WHAT THE DARN HELL IS THIS?!? WHERE'S OUR NEWEST MODEL SUPERCOMPUTER?!?" Northernlion: "Wow, this new PC runs Isaac fast! Wow!"

[@Gijs_Sickenga]

@Northernlion I'm sorry if my comment came across as condescending, because I really don't mean it that way. There's just a big difference between 32 and 64-bit Windows and I only wanted to help out. No condescension intended. :)

[@Gigaheart]

I must have missed that, apologies. How much did you pay @Northernlion those are pretty good specs.

[@KritzGG]

@fallsammiboy I could be wrong but i think he uses a program called audacity but if you're talking about the microphone I dont know

[@ruairihair]

What do tigers dreams of? When they take a little tiger snooze Do they dream of mauling zebras Or Hallie Barry in her catwoman suit?

[@Out4Blood4CA]

1) I believe the vast majority of us not only prefer, but enjoy to a much greater degree the live commentary. 2) Is there hope for live streaming Isaac where the viewers can vote on challenge runs? 3) As a subscriber, I am perfectly willing to watch a few seconds of relevant ad content to support you. After watching all of Isaac, a few minutes here and there are nothing... 4) Looking forward to 1080p capture...

[@PierceRudman]

yes! i'm a newer sub and from the first vid of yours i watched i was hooked, and i am excited for more soon! :)

[@NickPride]

Ryan, any plans for another big RPG LP? something like Dark Souls, that was truly awesome

[@PatoSkai]

DOTA2!! YES !! I saw you in purge stream and asked for some northernlion playing dota 2! My dream became true :')

[@InnocuousRemark]

Awesome news! You should show your face once in a while, you are quite photogenic and it helps connect you with our audience and gives us something to yell at/fantasize about

[@DarknessKiba101]

Are you going to have play with Northernlion games sort of like how Purge does his? Because that'll be really fun :D

[@Johnjkngbaup]

For stream use xsplit, it's insanely simple and has a free "trial" of sorts where you get part of the program then some benefits if you buy it. It's pretty necessary to buy it ESPECIALLY now that they took away AAC for free users, so the audio quality, Lol it's unbearable without it.

[@PurplePoyo]

co-op streams, or some multiplayer stuff?

[@shazbot16]

Jesus, a 6 core is crazy. Preparing for the future I see.

[@LuigisNo1]

Could you write the specs in the description?

[@Dizzy55555]

*Not necessarily the top of the line* Are you freaking kidding me!? You have an i7 extreme and one of the best gpu's around!

[@adamosification]

I thought he was gonna get like a little budget gaming Pc. but not something ridiculous like this :O And if he wanted to get even better for a little upgrade he should get the 7970 instead of 7950 or 2 7950's ^^

[@Nunokoiso22]

you are correct but I thought he would like some feed back from his subscribers on what they would like to see

[@fwenny]

I hope you'll put your stream footage to your yt channel for those that aren't able to watch it. Or at least make the option to watch past streams.

[@CentauriShin]

More like, you can use your new tower to record and your laptop to render. Multitasking is a go?

[@DarkDXZ]

Youve got a new PC already and Im waiting for mine since Christmas ;_; (this rig I have now can't even run Terraria or Super Meat Boy)

[@mpt111]

Wow, I don't mean to sound intrusive or anything, but I was wondering how much did all that cost? I've been looking into buying desktops, and with some knowledge, that's a pretty good computer.

[@fallsammiboy]

What do you use to record your voice?

[@halibleach]

bloody hell that is one heck of a pc 0.o

[@jofowowness]

It would be cool if you did a vlog to show us the computer

[@DragoonZn]

Plz Ryan I beg you, Keep posting at least 1 video per day. Becuase i watch your video really late at night! Big Ty and congratulation for your new computer

[@earthnuts]

Hey NL, Just use Twitch anyway, KZbin livestream is rather bad in comparison. Also, will you be able to stream from your xbox? Aka, a Dark Souls LP and like that some fans can try to get a charecter, with the same level, in your area, therefor giving you the higher chance of invading quickly and alowing you to interact with us too. Like that you won't get bored in the inbetween invasion phases either! =)

[@TofuRabbit]

Yes Northernlion, your new pc IS very good :) ''just'' 16 Gb of RAM? Damn man I have a goddamn good computer and I roll only 4 Gb of RAM...16 is really a lot, and combined with that i7 6 Cores (again, a damn LOT) 3.2GHz processor you just got yourself the perfect render machine..the only thing that could be better is a eight core instead of a six, but that'd not make that much of a difference... Really Ryan, I wish I had your machine :)

[@saveyourselfagain]

I would return the ATI Radeon HD, but only because I hate ATI (AMD) now... I have a laptop with one of their Mobilty Radeon HD 4570 cards (really outdated now), and I have tried so many times to deal with their driver installer (they don't allow you to install drivers yourself, but make you download a 250+ MB installer which [incorrectly] detects what card you're using, and [pretends that it successfully] installs them... GAH!) But if you're buying their newest cards often, you'll be fine.

[@kibabawingu]

Yes, Isaac at a steady frame rate

[@VincentVanBro1]

I definitely like the live commentary more.

[@ValugaTheLord]

1080p with decent quality codecs will really take 16Gigs? Plus he is uploading them on KZbin with can only do so much quality wise.

[@what567]

That PC is fucking beast.

[@Saatan1234]

thanks for the update :D

[@EddieGalois]

Can you make an announcement on steam as well?

[@axelskull]

assembling it yourself essentially cuts the price in half

[@MrAlaiserus]

yey i saw northernlion on "purge plays drow", hello there lich :D

[@Augfist]

Look forward to seeing me on stream I'm notrthern's dota 2 bro haha

[@yodudes567]

YEEEEEEEES PLEASE. NL, DO THIS.

[@GrandDrop]

@northernlion How much did the PC cost you? :P

[@xNosaaki]

When he was saying specs I was like: ok... o_o... O__O... HOLY BALLS!!

[@Stopmotioncreator1]

i7!! how do they have i7 already i just got i5 is canada just the highest technology knowledge? because if so please let me move there

[@ChrisTeilor]

Yup, Your PC is a God!

[@matchuhuki]

How did the match end ?

[@unconsidered1]

Wow, I just bought and am making my own computer. And I'm kinda pissed that you have better performance, np though.

[@xGOR1LLAZx]

Yeah NL, i'd love to watch your streams but Twitch tends to lag a lot, i'd much rather prefer you stream on own3d tv. But whatever though man i'll still watch even on Twitch :D

[@GrimGearheart]

If Dark Souls gets ported to PC will you make the switch? I would love to face you on the battlefield!

[@oulaalia]

That's great news!

[@FostyRetsof]

i fucking love dota 2 cant wait to watch you play it live

[@GrimGearheart]

Also, use twitch.tv, you can put ads on that as well.

[@medo145]

Do you know what motherboard you are getting? btw AMD Radeon HD7950 is not nvidia

[@Kwolf101]

NL were the Internet, we hate change no matter what...
