Northernlion Plays: Spelunky! [Episode 88]

[@Luigiman59able]

Your Spelunky series is my favorite series of yours by far. Your failures (and very occasional successes) entertain me to no end.

[@WolfAndLuke]

Northernlion, i love all of your content, especially the insane livestreams, but i have not laughed quite as hard at one of your videos as i did this one. I'm so glad you made the decision to bring back Spelunky play, even if it's only for a bit. You're one of my top 2 Let's Players, the other being good ol' Cryaotic. I look forward to your videos every day. Thanks for the epic content man.

[@160plays]

Straight up, I do not care how many times you die in the Jungle, this Spelunky series is the most enjoyable on KZbin.

[@MithosFall]

"Trapped between a rock and an explosive place." Probably one of the funniest pieces of random banter that you have ever uttered.

[@kouga265]

Some of your best commentary in a while, I laughed a ton. Thanks Ryan.

[@Bluedragon094]

Seriously, funniest commentary I've heard in a long time NL! Good vid!

[@TaskariWorld]

Seeing Northernlion Spelunky in my subscriptions is always an awesome sight :3

[@RivalDreamAroma]

Also I just wanna throw it out there that I love the way he says 'progress'. It's like a Canadian thing.

[@gretschkid52901]

I'm currently watching this at wendys while killing time between classes. Thank you for making my 4 hour break a bit better ;) keep up the awesome vids. watching issac next hehe

[@Marioroops]

I am glad this series is back.

[@stock_img]

"I was possessed by the ghost of the greatest Spelunky player of all time" You sounded like you were crying tears of joy!

[@artinmay2010]

Having the music in the background is a good touch :)

[@OctopiWalgreens]

"with only 20 health, we're not in a very good situation here" the northernlion story

[@realityjaunt]

I noticed that too. You're right, he really is improving.

[@JonathanSwifty]

"Failure makes you better in the long run, Michael AL Fox is a great example of that" fucking classic.

[@RockinKitty300]

Loved the episode NL, the commentary was just awesome. Thanks for the entertainment! :D

[@6611nitro]

Fun fact: He actually did bring balance to the force, by the end the sith and jedi where evenly matched with only two on either side. Guess the Jedi didn't realize they had a massive advantage.

[@Mobileunit]

Hence the "this Spelunky version". The one you're talking about is what this game is built on.

[@IanWantsaCookie]

"If I get to Black Market, I consider that a successful run" -Northern Lion

[@robertsides3626]

By far the most hilarious episode yet! A thousand ways to die: the Northernlion edition.

[@PooblesDaGawd]

I think that pro mlg super spider fight was his best moment this episode

[@geebergeistify]

Im really glad you threw that Ace of Bass reference in there!!!!! XD

[@geebergeistify]

Base*

[@boirfanman]

geebergeistify There's something fishy about that...

[@TheStigma]

Northernlion, protip: Those caves idols you can steal without activating the trap if you somehow destroy the blocks the idol is resting on. Usually this is most easily accomplished by using a bomb. This should help you out a lot on reliably getting enough money early on for bombs and whatnot - without leaving you short of being able to get the ankh.

[@sleepyjo2]

Happens in 480p, don't have the internet for HD. It's probably just a minor issue that happened while rendering it. Or someit. It's not really an issue anyway.

[@ZombiePumpShotgunner]

everytime he throws the dog at the bat, I laugh so hard

[@Skyggespil]

No. You can, however, start later on in the game once you unlocked that but like Isaac you have to gather stuff from earlier levels if you want better chances later on or even if you want to be able to get to the harder parts of the game like Hell or the City of Gold

[@thomaslieven680]

When I watch NL playing spelunky I'm always screaming at my screen.

[@byob1999]

One of my favorite episodes for some odd reason. I guess commentary made up for it.

[@RivalDreamAroma]

Love the nod to Eric Lindros in the description! Cause of all the head injuries right?

[@RivalDreamAroma]

That was funny at the very end with the Tekken style combo from the snail. And how you were knocked out, but still gently floating. Y'know, I don't think I've EVER actually gotten hit by a snails gas bubbles if my memory is right. MAYBE once. But I also have not yet made it to Hell and have only beaten the game once, so ya got me there.

"Probably not the smartest idea" - The Northernlion Story.

[@unfathomablej]

Al Gore's daughter is a writer for Futurama, and Gore has voiced himself in Futurama. That seems to be the mark of a pretty cool guy.

[@GreenMiscreant]

By any stretch of the imagination By any stretch of the imagination By any stretch of the imagination By any stretch of the imagination By any stretch of the imagination

[@CreepyBacon]

These are the only videos on youtube i ever thumbs up. Only because i want you to continue the series till you beat hell. Enough issaac more spelunky.

[@idoki987]

Classic Northernlion Spelunky video :D

[@Jukantos]

Keep trying Ryan, you're getting better. It's the little steps that matter. Like for example when you turned around at 13:39 to pick up the rock for the next level. That shows to me you're improving your knowledge and it's sinking in. Now a little more luck with those altars showing up twice for a Kapala and Hell will be within your grasp again :)

[@Manzana1C]

Not reading any comments... over 30 minutes means chance for epicness

[@DrSpoon99]

That thing you said about dreaming is very logical, actually. Scientists believe our brain uses dreaming to process the previous day, to better our selves at what ever we must.

[@jamesta08]

"I know that PewDiePie's over there" I'm crying, wow.

[@DarkoriAscended]

Commentary is always a treat, some would say, unpredictable at the very least. Never know what's gonna get said on your videos...

[@cypryan97]

It is scientifically proven that we learn while sleeping. Whether you're studying for an exam, practicing a stunt or playing a video game, your brain improves on it while sleeping.

[@RivalDreamAroma]

Ohhhhh and cause it's episode number 88! Not sure if it has a double meaning like that but if so, that's pretty good layering going on.

[@Kamikazi052]

"Tekken style juggled" brilliant.

[@TrippyTheShroom]

And that's why you're watching his Spelunky video, good logic there.

[@321Rik123]

Bright brightness is bright.

"With only 20 health..." - The Nothenlion Story

[@diablodevil2]

Cavalcade of Despair: The Northernlion Story

[@parishs1]

Very entertaining video NL, thank you

[@Jebidinosaur]

This is gonna be a tight one for sure: The Nothernlion Story!

[@Scrubwave]

Oh, you're Derek Yu? How exciting indeed.

[@thousandTabs]

"...people on fire roll around and they aren't necessarily happy..." The Northernlion story...?

[@CoolJosh3k]

More Spelunky, more more MOAR!!!

[@sleepyjo2]

A lot of people don't 'like' videos despite actually liking the video. There are ways to automate it (in Chrome) but of course thats a bit silly for the majority. It's just how the world works.

[@Jukantos]

that hidden crate at 33:09 behind the damn interface mightve changed everything :(

[@AndremoThe2nd]

I have to say. I like the Spelunky runs more than the Issac ones. Probably because there's still more to do in Spelunky other than challenge runs.

[@big2dot]

"Sweet, a new Spelunky run that is 34 minutes long so NL must make a return to Hell!" *A number of deaths later* :

[@TheWrekker]

He says he talks with his conscious mind and plays with his unconscious mind, but I think it might be the other way around.

[@Exleman]

this is the greatest comment I've ever seen on a northernlion video

[@Linkfan001]

I know you think you did terribly NL and you really did, but this was the best episode yet. Sure any 2 bit chump and win, but only a skilled man can make failure entertaining. I was laughing most of the episode.

[@CreedOfVinnie]

I have a suggestion, in the PC version of Spelunky i always bomb the platform beneath the idol and it doesn't trigger the boulder. Try doing that it might not have been fixed.

[@Peef19]

Northernlion, how about an episode in which you try to kill every shopkeeper you come across? I think that some practice in dealing with them might be useful in future runs Thanks for another great video, keep it up

[@KingAnthem]

Hell will be in your grasp... not something you see everyday

[@JakeyBHD]

Watching MichaelAlFox play spelunky than watching northernlion play spelunky is like watching michael jordan play basketball vs. a midget

[@dgizmo419]

Its those haters who dont like a certain series or dont like how he produces his content. Haters gonna Hate

[@OldFuck1864]

I'm playing Spelunky on the PC and really hope it will see the updated version. Are you still going down those four tiles to the exit door, set down the damsel and then toss a rope to get up again? I'm on episode 12 and always wish you'd just drop the damsel off that cliff and save yourself the rope. :-)

[@GargantuanHunter]

5 minutes in and I'm laughing my ass off! Thank you NL!

[@supahrazy]

He has already done it before.

[@TheDeadEyeWolf]

haha you commentary was fucking hilarious this time, not that it isnt always funny but you were really on the humor today haha

[@DisturbedOysterLPs]

I know I should be happy enough with the PC version and I am not complaining.. But i would be happy to pay for a Spelunky game with updated graphics and controls. AKA this version. :) *Note* I have no idea if this version will ever be on PC. Just keeping hope alive!

[@hajibbly]

Gogo gadget NorthernLion!

[@QuarterMasterGaming]

How many of you guys always full screen NL videos? Yup, that's the way to view it.

[@Jrodimus]

26:56 Schrodinger's damsel.

[@misterhysterisk]

Not this new version, but an old pc version witch this is based on is available for free

[@Luigiman59able]

oh god the ending, i laughed so hard

[@Superbad1400]

Hey NL, somehow your recordings in spelunky look a little bright, You should take a page out of Foxmans book, his recordings look super crisp and all the colors are great.

[@KilogramHours]

Yeah, the Isaac Runs are kinda done for me since NL did EVERYTHING in that game. In Spelunky he still has a goal. Get to Hell....or well now beat hell.

[@TheWickedEnd2012]

You win the award for the most creative and fun reply to me. :D

[@Alchemist1995]

PS: though that has at least been announced already...

[@danielsilvagoncalves96]

it was first developped on the pc.

[@iTzRavenHD]

he already done that bro.

[@DisturbedOysterLPs]

Still waiting for this Spelunky version for PC.. :(

[@aBouture]

There has been this sort of gray hazy film of ...well gray that makes it look like I'm watching a spelunky video through a chain smoker's hellpit in the last recent spelunky videos (2-3? at least 2). What's up with that?

[@meeshux]

"At least one weak at the very least"

[@TaiWind]

Luck Up pills in Spelunky? I'd like a Bombs are Rope pill in Spelunky.

[@pratti]

Can someone please tell me when was the first time he found out about the ghost? :D

[@Jindo1]

Good luck!

[@EveloGrave]

Anyone know if he has never said "Toot my own horn" or "No stretch of the imagination" in a video?

[@Ellex200]

this video was more fun than frustrating:D

[@ReduxLPS]

"I don't take any drugs." Nah, man. Clearly, the drugs have taken you. Lol! But, for real though. You're awesome.

[@danielsilvagoncalves96]

faster than light... get it? oh cmon IT'S PUNNY!

[@Zanaki113]

Don't even try to tell me that @14:39 that that isn't a penis.

[@MrLittleCrispy]

I love your vids!

[@xIamAxel]

ALL HAIL Our Glorious Lord and Savior, Nicolas Cage

[@MrStsveins]

cavalcade of despair the northerlion story.

[@TheOldGuest]

*This* Spelunky version.

[@PapaBear816]

yep....

[@nzmike223]

NL is a follower of the One True God! Cage be praised! When the rapture comes and Cage vanquishes the Travolta once again, NL shall be among the saved.

[@Draugo]

So he still hasn't learned that you can throw things up by pressing up while you throw... maybe some day.

[@Arpsi52]

Cage, Cage everywhere.

What happened to Skulls of the Shogan?
