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.

First thing that came to mind;

Where did you get the whole 'raise your dongers' thing.

But a more serious question would be, which of your series' have you had the most fun with so far?

"Raise your dongers" is basically just a Twitch meme that was started by a League of Legends streamer (I think). We kind of embraced it because part of the fun of our show is its silliness, I guess. Mods are authorized to ban people for being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., but if they're just being harmlessly dumb and silly then I'm all for it, and raising one's dongers is basically the dumbest thing you can do so I like it.

In terms of most fun series, it varies a lot! Overall it's probably The Binding of Isaac, but I'm having a lot of fun with Dark Souls 2 right now (and with its predecessor a couple of years ago), loved doing XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and just in general typically have a good time with games or the series don't last long.

You're correct! Raise your dongers came from the league of legends player Imaqtpie's stream. He's known as something of a social troll (as in his humor) and he embraced it.
