NL this is my fav LP of yours, don't let the negative comments bother you. The reason its so fun to watch this is because seeing you fuck up royally several times before getting better makes it INTERESTING
for your last two hints: -He doesn't even know HOW to get the kapala (sacrifice two dogs in the same game). It was one of the last two videos where he sacrificed one dog and then came across multiple dogs next to altars that he brought to the exit before he had to kill himself. -He realized it once and forgot about it after taking a break for a few days, giant spiders are still a common cause of death for him even though they could be easy source for paste.
What I admire about your play style is how adventurous you are. "Watches you attempt to get chest past spikes, and die." You're playing to expand your knowledge upon the game/
All that Northernlion needs to do is to remember the intricacies of Spelunky. Knowing these, he'll get a lot, lot more success. Some examples: - Always try to sacrifice Monty AT LEAST twice, the kapala is incredibly helpful! - At 09:10, he didn't need to waste a rope to trigger the arrowtrap, all he had to do was go on the other side of the web and it would've caught the arrow! - At 15:45, he could've lowered himself(crouch-walk to the edge) and not gotten killed by the spikes.
this has been bugging me for a long time now, Northernlion, your bombs will blow up a two block radius around it, the best example of why this frustrates me is at 5:58 when you waste three bombs instead of the one you would have needed please let him know this people!
cont: - Udjat Eye can only be in 1-2 ro 1-4 - Black market can only be in 2-1 to 2-3 - Moai Head can only be in 3-2 to 3-3 - Before killing yourself to get the Hedjet, explore the floor! You may be skipping several crates. - Also important, if you have the kapala, KILL! Almost every enemy loses blood when hit. The Yetis in Ice Caves are a great way to get a ton of health(after getting the hedjet of course) - Also, I may be wrong. But does NL know that you can throw stuff UPWARDS by holding up?
Actually he sometimes does read them, thus proving hes a good guy. ad you are totally right, I tried to record an LP and its CRAZY hard to talk and play well, especially when you are trying to make sense when talking.
I understand that - but as someone else said, all we want is for him to do well - we all want NL to reach Hell, and most of us are trying to be helpful when we offer our advice. If he chooses not to read them and keeps failing it's his own choice - I won't ever complain about more NL Spelunky videos. :)
I won't lie - Northernlion is almost certainly my favourite TH-camr out there - I watch the videos for him rather than the gameplay - however, we can all tell he wants to get to Hell as much as we want him to - that's why I'm telling him to read more of the comments and slow down so we can see his reaction when he gets there and beats the game! :D
NL On the second run you did not have to waste a rope just to get the two gems just climb up to the right side where the gem is and the arrow trap should fire and get stuck in the web
Seriously surprised to see NL didn't fuck himself over at the end, rather that the game flipped out at how well he was doing and felt it needed to correct the disturbance. Also: See how well you do when you have climbing gloves vs. the cape? You gonna buy them more often in the future? No? I thought not, NL. I thought not.
I like it when Ryan fails. He's usually so cool about it, and even when he swears he sounds cool, calm and collected. Out of the Saving Progress crew, NL is forever my favourite. His ramblings, bad references, poor quotes and his admitted lack of skill just force me to watch :3
“There’s a very good chance” of Spelunky HD on PC, says creator Derek Yu research done, and im very strict on prashing something so you had to research THAT and correct yourself with CURRENTLY
Also he doesn't record the video the same day he uploads it. He has recording sessions in which he does multiple runs in one sitting and then uploads them all later. So he can't make a change in a video that he already recorded.
The first time I got to the black market, I was walking through the shops and then an exploding frog got hit by a tiki trap. It blew up one of the shops, and that was it.
Don't worry about it, Lion. You have your good runs as well as bad. Spelunky is a seriously hard game, and it doesn't help that the game fucks you every now and again on top of it.
NL, if the ghost comes, make sure if your'e going for big money achievement or buying out the black market, have a bunch of gems on the ground in a very mobile area. The ghost turns them into diamond, ect for a LOT more money
By no means do I not want him to succeed. He's probably one of the best learners I've seen. He's not very fast, but he soaks information up like a sponge (though he does forget sometimes). Look at his early BOI videos, then look at his later ones, he's become VERY good in comparison. I can't wait for him to beat hell, but until then I'm going to enjoy his short comings :D
Michaelalfox usually posts his one hour videos every 2 to 4 days.. Northernlion's video uploading is shorter,and therefore,uploaded faster, plus, most of the time, you only have to wait 1-2 days.
Yes I have played this (many times), and I will confess I only reached Hell, I haven't beaten it myself since I haven't been on my xbox since I did it, however, I know for a fact that I learnt from my mistakes - which is how I managed to beat the game and managed to reach Hell. NL has the ability to reach Hell, but if he took our advice on board then he would be able to do it, I'm certain of that.
exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. Which is why i still watch NL, one of the best commentators on TH-cam IMHO. So not to say I don't love his videos!
Excuse me, fellow comment writer, but he found the Udjat Eye on 1-3 in this very run :3 I completely agree with your tips, i just wanted to make sure you got that correction~
I keep seeing people say you can throw stuff up. I might be mis-understanding what you are saying but do you mean you can literally throw stuff straight up?
you did not have to use two bombs just to get the key on your first run just use one bomb and a rope to get out and walk towards the key and therefore did not have to waste a rope just to visit the shop and buy bombs
It's not like he NEVER reads the comments, in a lot of episodes of Isaac and Spelunky I hear him say things like, "So someone told me ...," "I was reading the comments and people are saying to ...," etc.
You are right - some people do exaggerate the point and say "Hey NL you are the worst player ever" when what they mean is that he is not as good as some others. But some people are offering him help and he should just ignore the comments that tell him that he is bad. He isn't, and he could be amazing at this game if he just slowed it down a touch.
You do need the Book of the Dead to get to hell, otherwise the whole go-to-the-city-of-gold quest would be pointless...and about Anubis II, you dont really need to kill him, but if you dont, he's gonna follow you through the next levels
You're judging him very harshly considering the progress he's made, I mean he still makes stupid mistakes, but on average he gets further than before. Also, in this video his last run was pretty good, I'm not even sure what happened to piss off those shopkeepers, but it really wasn't his fault. The one thing I do agree with is that he has to learn some tricks, simple stuff like the effective range of a bomb, how many tiles you can fall without taking damage etc.
i hate it when he has 10+ bombs but doesn't use them to his advantage, like making paths, collecting treasures and destroying traps . the guy made 67 episodes times 30 min but he doesnt seem learn that much -
Michael takes his chances and uses his brain and learns from mistake, while NL takes it slow think to much about things and dosent learn from his wrongs. but he's more enjoyable somehow
Haha so true - it is probably why I subscribed to him! :D I just want to see a video where NL beats Hell, he deserves to and I know he has the ability to. :)
Ryan, you say you're the more bombastic player, but I honestly doubt that. I recommend you to kill more shopkeepers, so you get more items and don't need to worry about money. And you won't really get better at killing them by just trying to avoid them. They are barely a pain in the ass after the jungle anyway.
Most of the people are just trying to give some advices to NL, thats not hating, but he doesnt read the comments and he still doing the same mistakes, thats why people are frustrated.
Ok, I have to admit. The game threw alot of bullshit at him at the end there. he did nothing to anger those shopkeepers, it may have been some accident with an exploding frog somewhere that he had no control over.

I don't care what anyone says.. I love your "Go Big or Go Home", sense of play.
When you're afraid that you might fall on spikes go for it, is what I learned today.
cont:
- Udjat Eye can only be in 1-2 ro 1-4
- Black market can only be in 2-1 to 2-3
- Moai Head can only be in 3-2 to 3-3
- Before killing yourself to get the Hedjet, explore the floor! You may be skipping several crates.

"In it's own right" Seems to be your new catchphrase now.
Actually he sometimes does read them, thus proving hes a good guy. ad you are totally right, I tried to record an LP and its CRAZY hard to talk and play well, especially when you are trying to make sense when talking.
And the 3 ropes he used in the process as well.. hilarious
"1001 Ways to Die in Spelunky" The Northernlion Story
He does. most of his spelunky videos are in one session.
Just finished your XCOM now for Spelunky
northernilon if you sacriface the dog enough you can get the kappla which heals you when the blood meter is full
I love how he can just place one bomb below him at @6:00 but instead decides to use 3
lol in this episode the Ujdat Eye was one 1-3. Just a heads up. This game appears to be mostly random.
I understand that - but as someone else said, all we want is for him to do well - we all want NL to reach Hell, and most of us are trying to be helpful when we offer our advice. If he chooses not to read them and keeps failing it's his own choice - I won't ever complain about more NL Spelunky videos. :)
Have you played this? If you haven't, then you can't judge him by not learning from mistakes... This game is pretty hard.
Obviously there was a typo, but he meant to say "to", not "or".
I won't lie - Northernlion is almost certainly my favourite TH-camr out there - I watch the videos for him rather than the gameplay - however, we can all tell he wants to get to Hell as much as we want him to - that's why I'm telling him to read more of the comments and slow down so we can see his reaction when he gets there and beats the game! :D
My bad, I didnt know most of that stuff anyway. I dont think I will ever buy this game since I enjoy watching him play so much.

Spelunky requieres plataforming skills.
Isaac requieres 50% luck 50% dodging skills.
FTL requieres 50% luck 100% KNOWLEDGE.
I like it when Ryan fails.

Northernlion! Get the cup from sacrificing 2 dogs! It gives you health from blood

Hey, he got that black eye by walking into tree. I had no part in that!
Weird to see a NL video that was uploaded a minute ago :D
Also he doesn't record the video the same day he uploads it. He has recording sessions in which he does multiple runs in one sitting and then uploads them all later. So he can't make a change in a video that he already recorded.

Actually if you count the ropes from the exit it is 3 ropes and 3 bombs where he needed 1 bomb ;)

I can't wait for him to beat hell, but until then I'm going to enjoy his short comings :D
But you also have to rember he wither has 1 long run the entire video, or 1 death about halway trough then he wins the next part
Michaelalfox usually posts his one hour videos every 2 to 4 days..
Northernlion's video uploading is shorter,and therefore,uploaded faster, plus, most of the time, you only have to wait 1-2 days.
I don't get it. For me video lasts 49 seconds. There is a glitch

SOON!
You got till episode like, 112 to beat hell, Foxman does 1 hour videos
18:20 laughed a bit after that whole tangent... 18:34 LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!
exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. Which is why i still watch NL, one of the best commentators on TH-cam IMHO. So not to say I don't love his videos!
Excuse me, fellow comment writer, but he found the Udjat Eye on 1-3 in this very run :3 I completely agree with your tips, i just wanted to make sure you got that correction~
Haven't even watched 66 yet... I'll go do that now. :D
New Spelunky Video ? It's not gonna end up well..
What's progress?
Hey, shoutout to Northernloin! Am I right?
i'm pretty sure that a shop is guaranteed on mines level 2
I meant 1-2 TO 1-4, my finger hit r instead of t and I didn't notice.
Its that time of the day....
When i can blame my headache on Norhty c:
DOUBLE.... its DOUBLE
I keep seeing people say you can throw stuff up. I might be mis-understanding what you are saying but do you mean you can literally throw stuff straight up?
you did not have to use two bombs just to get the key on your first run just use one bomb and a rope to get out and walk towards the key and therefore did not have to waste a rope just to visit the shop and buy bombs
It's not like he NEVER reads the comments, in a lot of episodes of Isaac and Spelunky I hear him say things like, "So someone told me ...," "I was reading the comments and people are saying to ...," etc.
Bombastic doesn't mean what you think it means.
Haha, northernlion, he did it with the fireworks!
ya i rly do not know why did he waste so much bombs??
You are right - some people do exaggerate the point and say "Hey NL you are the worst player ever" when what they mean is that he is not as good as some others. But some people are offering him help and he should just ignore the comments that tell him that he is bad. He isn't, and he could be amazing at this game if he just slowed it down a touch.
Well for one he wanted to get the 2k gold in the wall there, but even so he only really needed to use 2 bombs and not 3.
why the hell did the shopkeepers attack him
What kind of sick mind can talk about something while he throws a dog?
YES
That's 3 bombs and >2< ropes. Oh Ryan... *facepalm*
"I just do what people tell me." Classic Scumbag Northernlion
nl is not on his game he used 3 bombs instead of 1
But it is only for xbox, anything to be released in the future wouldn't affect my comment in the slightest at the time I posted it.
You do need the Book of the Dead to get to hell, otherwise the whole go-to-the-city-of-gold quest would be pointless...and about Anubis II, you dont really need to kill him, but if you dont, he's gonna follow you through the next levels

The one thing I do agree with is that he has to learn some tricks, simple stuff like the effective range of a bomb, how many tiles you can fall without taking damage etc.
HE WOULD STILL HAVE FALLEN ON SPIKES
It's only for xbox
or he can make like chess: see, think, act
i hate it when he has 10+ bombs but doesn't use them to his advantage, like making paths, collecting treasures and destroying traps
.
the guy made 67 episodes times 30 min but he doesnt seem learn that much
-
Pfft if anything its Foxman who reads nothernlions videos comments
Michael takes his chances and uses his brain and learns from mistake, while NL takes it slow think to much about things and dosent learn from his wrongs. but he's more enjoyable somehow
nl micheal episodes are alot longer like1 hour =D
He meant 1-2 TO 1-4 i think.
Ryan, I want you to beat hell in Episode 69
start video, look at the end of slider, close video....
NL, and 1 bomb is centainly worth 1 crate + 2000
Haha so true - it is probably why I subscribed to him! :D I just want to see a video where NL beats Hell, he deserves to and I know he has the ability to. :)
Yeah, good ol' Northernfailion :) just gotta love it :D
THE EXIT WAS RIGHT THERE
WHY
more sufering more happiness
Webs block arrows!
1. Who watches this for the gameplay?
2. He records these in massive batches, hence no reading of the comments.
6:00
really northernlion
Hi
Ryan, you say you're the more bombastic player, but I honestly doubt that. I recommend you to kill more shopkeepers, so you get more items and don't need to worry about money. And you won't really get better at killing them by just trying to avoid them. They are barely a pain in the ass after the jungle anyway.
YES YES YES YES SPELUNKY
Most of the people are just trying to give some advices to NL, thats not hating, but he doesnt read the comments and he still doing the same mistakes, thats why people are frustrated.
Great comment :D
DAMN STRAIT! *high five*
I dont think that NL is bad as everyone says. He is just a little bit unlucky.
Ok, I have to admit. The game threw alot of bullshit at him at the end there. he did nothing to anger those shopkeepers, it may have been some accident with an exploding frog somewhere that he had no control over.
haha, yeah
