    Damn it. Would've been on if soup had been able to get his trade processed. I blame Lank.

    last few hours of my work day tend to be charting and twitch has quickly replaced tv shows or movies because I either don't chart and watch tv/movies or I miss whats going on completely negating the point of trying to watch them

    fantastic passive watching

    also a great way to see if you want to spend the money to buy whatever new game is out

    Lank accepted the trades prior to the advance... at least he did mine. So I don't see why he wouldn't do all of them.

    When he doesn't get 5 fumbles in a game or isn't able to use his monster package he tends to lose to me...

    Its hard to just admit I was better... sad he had to make up lie after lie after lie.

    Also man children who had some money at one time and donated a bunch of it to streamers then didn't have as much money but wanted to keep up the appearance of having money so they continued to donate themselves into debt then lied about being in a car accident and needing help with medical bills due to an unfortunately timed lapse in insurance to try and settle some of that debt.

    You can make a lot off streaming. This dude I kind of know makes over 5k a month on subscriptions and that is not counting the money he makes off donations and sponsors. He only streams like 20hours a week and gets like 2-3k views.

    twitch can defintely make you a lot of money, if you're good at what you do and are entertaining. check out gothalion and professorbroman, and the new houses/cars they just purchased.

    i watch to get game tips, see what new games play like, charity streams, and because some have really good personalities.
    i definitely understand how some people dont get it and think its dumb.
    i try to give my free Prime sub to smaller streamers cause the big ones dont need my money.

    Yeah, I subbed to the Doc with my Prime sub for 6-7 months but he stopped playing H1Z1, went to PUBG (which I'll play with my friends on Xbox but didn't want to do another PC shooter since I'm terrible with MKB) and went from just under 10k subs to I think 25-30k now so I started giving my sub to smaller streamers who play Dead by Daylight which I play the most right now.

    I stumbled across SheriffEli over there who seems to be p funny.

    He's mostly known for being a Sheriff in GTA V online but plays other stuff.

    Doc, Tim, Josh, Shroud, and Summit are all a great time each with redeeming qualities, even Summit.

    Dan is easily my favorite variety streamer. Cohh is not bad either.

    SherrifEli is great, too. Really fun story about how he started streaming.

    My sub list looks something like tight now: Tim (tier 3), Doc (prime), dan, epicnamebro, eli, lo0p (dont actually watch him much but i sub to help him out)

    Cohh is very technical and he fucking loves gaming he really has fun with it. but it can be a bit dry. He's good if you really want to find out if you should by some new game.

    Been watching Twitch for years. It's cut down my TV watching a ton, I watch Twitch when I have 20-30 minutes instead of finding something on TV. I've had my account since JustinTV. It's been crazy to watch it explode as much as it has.

    I mainly watch Dota tournaments, some IRL guys for the drama, and Lirik/Shorty.

    Twitch.tv is the successor to Justin.tv after the creators realized most people were using JTV for gaming.

    The creators sold to Amazon in 2014 for $970 million. Early in 2016 i was talking to Justin Khan (the namesake of Justin.tv) and he was saying that he was regretting the sale as they let amazon take over too early. He then said twitch was worth ~$20 billion at the time (spring 2016). My response was wow that’s unfortunate (but not really).

    Reasons to watch twitch:

    1. To find out if you want to buy a game
    2. Some are actually entertaining
    3. Skills. Learning.
    4. Dont have time to play
    5. Superior background noise compared to other things
    6. Your madden league is so massive and long standing that everyone involved wants to watch the games
    7. Esports

    That or to not have to buy a game. I've gotten older and really don't want to sit down and play every new AAA game for hours. I can watch a variety streamer play thru the game at work while doing my job and not have to spend a dime.

    Not thru Twitch, there's a lot of rules. Though people question the double standards with the titty streamers in the IRL section and what the normal guys can get away with.

    Yeah, PinkSparkles is pretty bad. Amouranth or whatever her name is streams like 10 hours a day making cosplay costumes in the shortest shorts and a bra top. It's fine to watch these chicks, just can't imagine giving them cash for it.

    IRL is good for drama. Been watching some Mitch Jones with Trainwreck. Ice Poseidon was banned from Twitch streams on Youtube and he has a manager named Scuffed Steve Jobs that got into it with Trainwreck at Blizzcon and now they're setting up a fighting event to be hosted on Youtube lol

    reddit.com/r/livestreamfail and reddit.com/r/Ice_Poseidon are good for catching up on that craziness.

    gta v rp is some of my favorite shit on there. eli, budda, proxy, classy, milton, etc are quality follows. even the disgraced bubbles (peter ross) is still doing some shit after the fallout with the others.

    About 5 years ago around Christmas time some guy was streaming trying to break a Mario world record. Had fun trolling in the chat room and watching him play. That's the only time I've ever been on twitch
