Ryan Letourneau, better known by his username Northernlion, is a Canadian with a love for independent video games, especially games made by Edmund McMillen. Rising to prominence through his Let's Plays, his videos generally consist of gameplay while providing amusing live commentary. A "Machinima Director and Let's Player Extraordinaire", Northernlion is a highly charismatic individual best known for his distinctive voice and sharp wit, as well as his usage of a variety of puns, idioms, and vague references to pop culture.

Aside from his Let's Plays, Northernlion has also made various video series, consisting of "Let's Look At", "Let's Hate", "Don't Play This", "Only in Korea", "Indie Game of the Week", "Poison Mushroom" series on Machinima, and "#NLSS".

Northernlion is from Kingston, Ontario. He went to Queens University as is mentioned when he references how Elon Musk transferred away from his school due to a lack of women.

For about a year, Northernlion worked in Daegu in South Korea as an English teacher for children. He returned home to Canada on December 1, 2011.

He was unemployed after returning home, but now makes money through YouTube, which he calls "a dream job", and he once jokingly described himself as "funemployed".
