![]() Some of the NLSS crew do that too, but during the shows they go as far as to mute themselves to do it. I get why they do that, it’s just seriously annoying. Not to mention that other streamers feel the need to shout out each and every one of their supporters the instant they support them, making their streams feel so choppy. Even the smaller streamers basically just have people asking occasional questions, with a bit of reaction. No one’s really talking about what’s going on, or even especially reacting to it. It’s crazy, I go to the streams of other people outside of the NLSS crew and the chat is just in disarray. Obviously it wouldn’t be as fun if the community around him and his show wasn’t both big and involved. Absolutely no clickbait, or even remotely interesting content presented, apart from the idea that NL is playing the game. His titles are even casual, where they’re basically just the usual “The Binding of Isaac: AFTERBIRTH+ - Northernlion Plays - Episode 1,000,000″ with a completely random keyword for each episode. It’s so casual, not just in the commentary but in the whole entire presentation. ![]() Sometimes his wife will even sort of join in on the commentary for some videos. That means if he ever has to take his cat off of his keyboard, let it out of his office, talk to his wife, whatever… it’s all recorded, and seamlessly put into each video. ![]() Literally no editing is done in his videos, and when there is a single jump cut or something, people make a spectacle about it. One of the big things about NL specifically, though, that is a serious breath of fresh air in the modern Youtube landscape, is that he doesn’t edit his videos at all. It’s funny, because they have a habit of revealing a lot about their day-to-day life, meaning people should see them as actual people and not just a mindless funny-machine. Obviously no one is perfect, but saying something like that just makes you a supreme asshole. People always act like some shows are ruined by one or two specific cohosts being on, but honestly I can’t see any of them actually ruining the show. His live shows are easily his best content, thanks to every one of his cohosts bringing their own flair to whichever show they’re on, ranging from the insane Josh to the innocent Hafu. Then, on his live shows, he has a handful of his friends to bounce off of. That’s the selling point of his 1000+ episode Binding of Isaac series, which he’s played enough of for some of the more complicated actions and choices to become second nature, letting his mind wander. Literally any moment of his videos, he can divulge into either an anecdote or some random thought he had about whatever and why it’s odd. Other content creators try to be unique by being really good at a game, having a more unique set of humor, or even doing skits outside of the gameplay (of course not to say any of that’s bad), but I think what makes NL different is that his “gameplay” content is practically a podcast as well. It’s kind of hard for me to say exactly what makes him likable. It’s made worse by how I don’t have a steady income yet.Īnyways, there’s something subtly unique about Northernlion (AKA NL) and his friends. Really, the only thing holding me back was the scary commitment of a monthly payment, as I’m sure many feel. He’s easily my favorite of all #gamer Youtubers/Twitch streamers, and it definitely wouldn’t be wrong to say he’s my all-time favorite of those (although it’s hard to be sure because the previous favorites either stopped uploading stuff or started uploading a lot less/different content).Īnd, since Youtube is trash for fiscal purposes, I finally went and bought a subscription to him on Twitch. Not to mention that no one (and I do mean “no one”) could top Northernlion. ![]() Really, it’d take a lot to get me to watch anyone new, just because the people I already follow already check off all necessary boxes I’d want in a channel, pretty much. Hey I'm back, from my ten second ban Was in the back doin a double jacky with Dan He said, hey Can I ask you a question? I said yeah, he said, wanna see an erection? Anyway, I acquiesce Fuck, are we still on this, I mean I digress Cuz I'd like to take some time now to shout out some names So don't hate the viewers when your docket's to blame Last grey wolf or should we call him austin I don't know, I guess he goes both ways RockLeeSmile? More like RockLeeCynical Too concerned with being metaphysical Alpacapatrol, on damage control Cuz Baer couldn't handle, a fucking egg roll And Mathas.There’s a serious oversaturation of people trying to live off of playing games on Youtube/Twitch.
