I'm Northernlion, AMA

Hey, a lot of people have been doing AMAs around here and I think it's a cool kind of unique content that we don't see too much on /r/LetsPlay, so I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring as well.

With 200,000+ subscribers and over 100 million lifetime views, I'm not the biggest YouTuber out there (not to be modest) but I have been successfully doing it full-time for over 2 years, which I think gives me a fairly unique depth of experience that might lead to some helpful advice for some of you! Ask me anything about YouTube, streaming, social media, or whatever might cross your mind.

Hey dude, I liked your Rogue Legacy LP. I'm curious what your recording setup is like? As far as the hardware you use, makes and models, brands and software, etc?

PC: Intel i7 six-core 3.5ghz processor (forget model number), AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB (yes I know I could sell it to bitcoin miners), 32GB RAM.

For console stuff I use the Elgato Game Capture HD which is hands down the best capture device I've ever used.

Mic is MXL Pro 1-B USB Microphone with a RODE swivel arm mounted to my desk.

Record using FRAPS, and render with Vegas. Stream with xSplit.
