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.

[@RivalDreamAroma]

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

[@160plays]

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

[@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.

[@MithosFall]

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

[@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.

[@artinmay2010]

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

[@JonathanSwifty]

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

[@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.

[@Mobileunit]

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

[@PooblesDaGawd]

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

[@Marioroops]

I am glad this series is back.

[@TaskariWorld]

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

[@realityjaunt]

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

[@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.

[@kouga265]

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

[@IanWantsaCookie]

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

[@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.

[@robertsides3626]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Bluedragon094]

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

[@byob1999]

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

[@OctopiWalgreens]

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

[@321Rik123]

Bright brightness is bright.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@thomaslieven680]

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

[@ZombiePumpShotgunner]

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

[@geebergeistify]

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

[@geebergeistify]

Base*

[@boirfanman]

geebergeistify There's something fishy about that...

[@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.

[@Manzana1C]

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

[@Jukantos]

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

[@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

[@TrippyTheShroom]

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

[@RockinKitty300]

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

[@Jebidinosaur]

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

[@thousandTabs]

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

[@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 :)

[@jamesta08]

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

[@RivalDreamAroma]

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

[@CoolJosh3k]

More Spelunky, more more MOAR!!!

[@Jrodimus]

26:56 Schrodinger's damsel.

[@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.

[@diablodevil2]

Cavalcade of Despair: The Northernlion Story

[@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.

[@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.

[@Cleve_Crudgington]

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

[@danielsilvagoncalves96]

it was first developped on the pc.

[@dgizmo419]

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

[@DarkoriAscended]

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

[@KingAnthem]

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

[@parishs1]

Very entertaining video NL, thank you

[@Scrubwave]

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

[@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.

[@Viperr101]

14:49 Any guesses?

[@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.

[@DisturbedOysterLPs]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@Slugby1138]

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

[@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.

[@XxAbnormalSlothxX]

What happened to Skulls of the Shogan?

[@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. :-)

[@JakeyBHD]

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

[@pratti]

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

[@EveloGrave]

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

[@hajibbly]

Gogo gadget NorthernLion!

[@Ellex200]

this video was more fun than frustrating:D

[@TaiWind]

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

[@misterhysterisk]

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

[@Wysthric]

20:20 OHNO!!!!!!

[@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

[@KarstenGerner]

Is that nutshell joke synes world or austin powers?

[@supahrazy]

He has already done it before.

[@big2dot]

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

[@RivalDreamAroma]

And you were possessed by the GHOST of the best Spelunky player in the world!?! He/she's dead?? Or maybe you meant the in-game ghost of them. If you've ever played the co-op, you'd know all about when you die you just turn into a ghost and can help out your partner(s) by blowing little gusts of air. S'pretty kewl.

[@danielsilvagoncalves96]

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

[@QuarterMasterGaming]

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

[@MrStsveins]

cavalcade of despair the northerlion story.

[@gamesforjake1]

Can some one tell me all of the landmark episodes that NL ex. Beating Olmec...

[@rockpig57]

"At least one weak at the very least"

[@Alchemist1995]

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

[@TheresScienceToDo]

14:47 Yup, that 20 health is a bitch.

[@Arpsi52]

Cage, Cage everywhere.

[@Sephiko]

17:17 I waited for Ace of Base, and got it.

[@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?

[@Luigiman59able]

oh god the ending, i laughed so hard

[@Draugo]

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

[@magejustinp]

Is it comming for pc?

[@gajiodea]

Is this available on PC?

[@tangorangry]

Double infinity.

[@nalarocks101]

[@iTzRavenHD]

[@CookieVG]

[@OxP2]

Baby steps!
