Returning To Space in 2012's Best Roguelite (FTL)

FTL on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/21...
This came from my stream on June 15th, 2021. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM here: / northernlion
I watched Dan react to IGN's list of the ten best roguelites and just seeing a little FTL footage got me feeling the itch to dive back in to one of the genre's all-time classics. Check it out!

This truly is the golden age of Egg. The Yolk Age.

@@hans-reinerjauch5719 I couldn’t agree more my friend

[@jakeXIII]

Absolutely correct

[@e5h8x3]

This comment made me laugh. Thank you!

[@cptKamina]

The fact that like every age since like a decade has been called "the golden age" says a lot about socie... about NL and his growth.

The thumbnail is out of control, it’s beautiful.

Some might even say out of this world

Yup

This man is just releasing unadulteratedly pog content at an unprecedented rate, I can hardly keep pace with it.

[@ExOTiC1234]

Just wait till you get to 10 mana!

[@kosmosyche]

Damn, I almost forgot how good this game is. I have 600+ hours in it, but I haven't played for 6 years. Even the music alone still makes my heart pound.

[@shanedancer3895]

Try the multiverse mod, it’s insane how well made it is and how much content it adds

[@ThePhunnman5]

Yes!! the music really brings me back in time

[@Dr_Andracca]

I haven't played in about 12 days(but before that was probably a good 2 or 3 years). I'd gotten to the final boss for the second time with what I thought was an OP setup, got crushed into the fucking ground, got tilted and quit.

[@cptKamina]

@@shanedancer3895 I think I tried that once but isn't it like extremely hard and complex?

[@cptKamina]

@@Dr_Andracca Yea, you often feel op until you have to do like 4 fights in which you gotta dodge 500 missiles every 10 seconds. I don't think I ever won without cloaking.

[@LongDomSilverss]

FTL is what originally got me to Ryan’s channel, we’ve gone full circle

[@Laugical]

I knew what was coming the second NL said “Malf, go placate them”, but it was still hilarious

[@Trevor21230]

That event and the Giant Alien Spiders one are so risky---giant alien spiders are no joke.

[@jeezuhskriste5759]

@@Trevor21230 Giant Alien Spiders is legit the worst event

[@bluerazz3069]

I thought the algorithm was pogging up an old video but it feels like blast to the pogging past

[@Felixowski]

ah yes, Father To Luna, great game

[@MrNatantantan]

This is like a triple entendre

[@VidyeoGamerer]

I remember watching your FTL videos and not knowing what youtube channels were, then later discovering Isek and sticking around ever since.

[@GonnaDieNever]

That immediate Shield Hacking autoship with a fire beam drone had me rolling on the ground. Literally the hardest sector one event in the game.

[@emlos]

slay the spire, ftl, its like a new era has begun. now lets see if he ever finishes hollow knight

[@nickp.4419]

Hope not. Hollow knight is trash.

[@dirkjohnson9627]

@@nickp.4419 probably trolling but you’re objectively wrong, hollow knight is one of the greatest metroidvanias of all time

[@shanedancer3895]

If you’re planning on going more into the game, you should absolutely try the multiverse mod for the game. By far the best mod ever made for the game and it feels like FTL 2

[@christoffernordblom890]

Fully agree.

[@theman695]

I hope he plays more than one episode of this. There's a lot to relearn and I'd love to watch more!

[@XzMondayNightzX]

He's brought it back and infused it with more pog. If you're curious there's a cool a mod called "Multiverse" (uses Hyperspace that adds a LOAD of balanced content new custom ship classes instead of reskins) Worth checking out for sure it's basically antibirth for FTL. Edited for the mixup.

[@Linkfan001]

I think you mean multiverse, which uses the Hyperspace mod as scaffold.

[@XzMondayNightzX]

@@Linkfan001 Oh whoops. I better change that.

[@Linkfan001]

@@XzMondayNightzX no worries. You NEED both, so it is easy to get confused.

[@smoothbraintakes6820]

I love that the first two events were essentially NL getting jumped back into FTL

[@panta_rhei.26]

This soundtrack is etched into my head even after not playing the game for years

[@libralovecraft]

NL: "I saw some stuff" Me: *Nervously looking at my watch history from last night where I binged his fast talking FTL series* "W...what stuff?"

[@djays314]

This was peak pog. I remember this, Nuclear Throne, Isaac, and Slay the Spire being instant watches back in the day.

[@sebby324]

I literally found this channel today watching 7 and 8 year old videos of FTL and now this is released ?! I’m surprise lol

[@cptKamina]

Welcome to the egg club. A lot has changed. Did you get yout starting gourd in which to gather all the Pogs?

[@Kandecid]

Hi, Surprise. I'm Dad.

[@pipasburner946]

the egg works in mysterious ways

[@L0ver80y]

Makes me feel old knowing I was there for his original series. Thank you for bringing it back!

[@jacobthatguy8001]

I cannot believe how long I have been watching nl. 100 episodes into the original isaac series. Over a decade later and here we are with a game I still play to this day thanks to nl. Thank you for the thousands of hours of content.

[@kunii4676]

It's only a matter of time before Rimworld makes its comeback... POG

[@pearcebrownbill1715]

FTL is what introduced me to both your channel and roguelites, great to see you revisit it.

[@ianjones9386]

NL’s FTL series was the first series i found of his way back in 5th or 6th grade, its been 7 years later and im still here

[@RFxSukhoi]

I saw this thumbnail out of the corner of my eye in the suggested list and assumed it was ancient, but when I actually went to NL's channel later I saw it again. My surprise is immeasurable, and my day is brightened.

[@bun197]

all I can say is pog. it may be a platitude but it sums up my emotion at this upload

[@Cole10925]

Been waiting for this to come back since the original series. So hyped when I saw this on the channel again.

[@thepenguin9]

Ah FTL, my first steam game. Forever in my mind

[@bradyjackson3253]

A truly welcome return, It was around this time that I started watching NL and I watch it with every meal and to go to sleep. Thank you for the many years of great content.

[@sirbrainwaves1268]

This was the series I discovered you through all those years ago. Thank you for all the endless entertainment! Here's to many more years of pog to come! 🙂

[@MrCtheB]

This was the series that brought me to you in the first place! Thanks for making these years entertaining man!

[@newdayatmidnight]

I was lucky enough to meet you at TwitchCon back in 2017 and let you know that this is the game that got me watching your channel all those years ago ... SO pumped to see you playing this again, NL! ^_^

[@raizel_z]

Legendary content thank you NL. FTL introduced me to your channel years ago. One of my favorite games and content creators of all time :)

[@ronch182]

This is the game that got me back into gaming AND discovering your channel! Thanks for all the content!

[@suetyhercules7717]

Ah yeah, more FTL what a beautiful day. If you all want even more I highly recommend the "Multiverse Mod" it's part of a huge modding renaissance for FTL and it's incredible, maybe too memey for some people but it literally triples the games content and it's still getting frequent updates

[@Chopskee9119]

The thumbnail, the game choice, this man is out of control. Send more

[@noahzach5506]

I'd LOVE to see more episodes of this! Thanks for the amazing content as always egg

[@ProblmSolvd]

FTL was my game of the year on release, it rides that wave of "You might not win" that Darkest Dungeon flaunts so proudly. 11/10

[@PristisBurst]

I was JUST about to go back and watch your old series and you release this golden egg! NL knows his audience

[@quinnlinjohnson785]

its honestly really funny that you posted this because I was going back and watching your old ftl stuff because i missed it

[@joshalvarez298]

This is the series that started my subscription to this chanell! Cool to see it making full circle! Weird to think I've been here for 9ish years! ha

[@komakozeee]

Holy crap i still go back and watch this series i am so happy to see you play it at least one more time!!!

Not even kidding, I played this for the first time in a while three days ago. This game is just that good that it keeps everyone coming back.

[@samuellawson1425]

The now permanent ad for Into the Breach on the title screen bugs me a lot

[@Mysticfateee]

It's about goddamn time he finally returned to this game... I remember watching the original series as he was making it and it ws one of my favourite games he had played. Bought it myself and really enjoyed the game as well back then. The music is just incredible and i can't wait to see how long this mini series lasts.

[@Rryyrryy123]

I literally binged all of the old FTL videos over the last week, I'm pogged out of my mind

If this nostalgia wave continues, i hope he plays the crimson court DLC of the Darkest dungeon

yooo ive been wanting NL to return to FTL for years, love this.

FTL is such a great game! It's been almost 10 years and I still play it from time to time.

Wow, that's a rough start. Thanks for the video!

[@Nosirrbro]

My god, the solid gold legend and his chrome dome has done it again. Please do more, I certainly wouldn't mind it as a permanent thing.

I was badly burnt in a workplace accident. Basically covered in methanol and went aflame. For many weeks i couldnt do anything. It was at that time i found this channel and watched his ftl videos as i healed. Thank you making your videos. Helped me out a lot.

[@vynashe4442]

Pogtastic. I went back and watched the first episode of your first FTL series about a week ago. I think it might have been the first ever video of yours I ever watched. That of xcom, I cant remember which came first. It's insane to think I've been watching your content back before I grew into boomerhood.

[@Yuggy]

Oh now this is exciting, what a throwback, it has been quite a while to say the least :P

[@jerryisrippin]

I have waited so long for this. I cant believe it's a thing

[@averythepigeon]

This return to some old stuff like this and Slay the Spire with variety coming back with SNKRX and Isaac still being pumped out WHILE a new more responsible stream schedule where the egg has more time to spend with the baby. Has me, in a word, Pogged.
