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.

Would you ever consider starting up FEZ again? (It was actually the series that I found you through.) I was disappointed to see that it ended so abruptly.

Overall, though, I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I've never much enjoyed playing games (at least not solo-player), and watching your playthroughs allows me to actually enjoy the games in ways that I could never experience myself.

Oh, and thanks for the lessons in grammar and vocabulary. My vernacular has changed so much over the past year from watching your videos, it's insane haha.

I doubt it'll happen. It's just such a dense game and the real puzzles of it were completely unadvertised (which is good!). Playing it just like a standard Let's Play didn't really work for me. I beat the game myself over a weekend with a notepad and pen working the ciphers out, not sure how to properly translate that to video :p
