No, it's not a new place to visit. Recently (thanks to Mr B) I have been watching quite a lot of streams.
Our platform of choice is
Twitch, and there are lots of options there. Like I said, lots of gamers for all types of games - some awesome ones and some not-so-awesome too. There are some massive streamers out there who EVERYONE has heard of (the likes of Shroud and Ninja) but its fun to watch the smaller guys, who are working themselves to the bone to build up a fan base and entertain people. some of my top picks - in no particular order - would probably be these...
 |
| Jimb0 - plays various games and has some brilliant effects that chat can play with |
 |
| Rovefogle - PUBG gamer who really should be better known than he is |
|
^^^^ this dude is an awesome shot!
 |
| RTGameCrowd - Insane guy who loves making his Sims miserable. Simply hilarious! |
Mostly people play games n stream, but there are some other channels too - its a little amazing what people put out there.
There's a whole selection of IRL streams - mostly people chatting/opening new stuff/chilling in front of a webcam...

| These guys are streaming breakfast. Yes, breakfast. |
and of course...there's a Bob Ross channel
 |
| Bob Ross - the legend! |
What you can't really see in the photo above is just how many people were watching when I took that shot......
 |
| 7pm on a Sunday and 1,725 people are watching a Bob Ross Marathon. That number in grey is total views. |
So next time you're bored of watching the same old TV, or you're looking for some inspiration why not go and have a peek at the wonderful streaming world you probably didn't realise was there.
