So why do people watch these people play games? this dude right here sounds like he's bored as shit and apparently he's not even that good so why even watch it? I cannot fathom why 29 thousand people watch this.
>>320221604
because they have no friends
>>320221604
the same reason why you would ever post here.
because misery loves company, anon.
>>320221604
To spam in the chat
A lot of the streams I "watch" are basically just background noise while I do something else.
>>320221604
Because that young generation of people is a bunch of retards who have no friends but want to pretend they do, so they just find some popular twitch channel to hang out in and spam memes all day while feeling as if they "belong" to some kind of group
Whenever I see a guy with a twitch hoodie out in public I laugh because it's some pimple faced 15 year old
>>320221604
Becouse they love when they a doing mistakes and people love "drunken streams"
>>320221786
This
I honestly cannot imagine anyone just sitting there and watching a stream for an entire day, or however long the streamer is online
EAT
SLEEP
WATCH THE KRIPP
>>320221604
Kripparian is one of the best Hearthstone players on the planet and regularly gets 12 win arena runs, which is 100% win rate. I watch Hearthstone streams and find them relaxing, especially putting them on in the background and doing work or something else.
Congratulations on your successful shitpost
>>320221604
I don't understand why people go apeshit over sodapoppin.
Not funny
Bad at games
No personality
He does quite literally nothing and still gets 20k views.
>>320221604
Only streamer I watch is actually Day9, and that is mostly because he is fun to listen to and sometimes goes on interesting tangents when talking.
Some of these guys who do it day in day out like Kripp are just slowly dying inside.
A good majority of streamers are annoying and have stupid catchphrases they yell out and dumb voices they do to be like Pewdiepie and Markiplier. Some are cool to watch though.
Like Trihex.
>>320222752
Me neither. I have only watched him once. He was throwing thousands of dollars in some online casino
reynad is the only good hearthstone streamer.
don't know why you would watch anyone else
>>320222752
I figure it must be kids, I love WoW and I can't bring myself to watch him for more than 5 minutes. There is actually no current WoW streamer that isn't intolerably obnoxious to watch. It's either Sodapoppin or a million other dull as fuck arena streams.
the continuously evolving memes and copy pastas. just look at kripps youtube comment sections, its full of novelty accounts
I like Kripp a lot. I'm watching his youtube now that he went to bed early.
Kripp was pretty popular before hearthstone came out. He had shitloads of viewers from his youtube from WoW guides and stuff and when Diablo 3 came out his popularity blew up because he minmaxed the shit out of that game. Now transition that viewerbase to a more popular game and it's no wonder he is one of the more popular streamers.
>>320222752
I watched him once because I wanted to see some gameplay of Vermintide and that faggot was just streaming the new star wars trailer and talking about it
iranian view bots from blizzard
They are c.uckolds, would rather watch someone else play the game than play it themselves. Sad creatures.
>>320221652
/thread
I watch speedrunners sometimes.
I'm gearing up for AGDQ.
I watch some pros just top see how/why they do things/their mindset when playing. Mostly though I have a stream on mute to watch when I am dead in game though.
>>320222752
People that usually watch streams are usually in search of a "surrogate friend".
Now count that Sodapoppin was one of the most famous streamers when the whole streaming thing started, and after all of this years people feel a "connection" with him as he was their real friend and don't want to watch someone else to start all over.
They see him grow from adolecent to man and feel like at home at his stream since they spent aleready years watching him.
It's a sad reality but it exists.
>>320225520
I heard Stiv is gonna be at ADGQ. I'm eager to see the high quality cringe
>>320221604
It's because the world is full of bland and vapid people. All the quiet ordinary and boring people you go to/ went to school with. The people who never create ideas or experiences. The kind of people who constantly turn their phone or laptop toward you and giggle and say "haha look at this!" even though its just a slight variation of the stupid shit she showed you five minutes ago.
God, my gf is boring as fuck.
>>320223875
This. Every day is a new kripp.
>>320224579
I think Hearthstone is melting poor Kripp's brain.I watched him play the SP campaign for LoV and he was having problems on normal.
>>320225874
>tfw gf likes 9gag tier humour and shitty puns
>>320225874
How are you also not one of those bland and vapid people?
>>320225835
Stickied /v/ threads where we're memeing in REAL TIME are the best.
i'm looking forward to that fo sho

turns out hes pretty good
I only watch streams as background sound.
The only stream I genuinely watch for entertainment is bikeman because he gets me senpai.
>>320225998
I'm trying to come up with some donation to call him a cuc k. But i have to word it nicely so it goes under the radar of the guy that is going to read it.
>>320226249

Related how i want my donation to be.
>>320225994
You cannot be one if you realize the existence of them.
>>320226343
that's clever.
crowd source your question to the thread. there are some really clever autists that'll help you create a donation message
>Simple people
>Watching a simple stream
>Of a simple person
>Playing a simple game
Kinda poetic.
I put on streamers I think are funny on in the back ground while I play video games with long stretches of no dialogue/grinding. Never watch livestreams, you can't pause that shit why bother.
>>320221786
fucking this.
>>320226513
Yeah that's a good idea. Btw when will ADGQ be exactly?
>>320222752
>why do the majority of people have shit taste?
Might as well just ask why water is wet. You have to be an idiot to entertain idiots.
>>320226361
That's so untrue it hurts. Just like knowing about psychological processes doesn't protect you from them.
>>320226634
it's starting on January 3rd, 2016
I like kripparrian because he just seems like an honest guy. He doesn't beg for donations. He doesn't do a bunch of degrading self promotion bullshit. He doesn't try too hard to be funny. He just casually plays games, and sometimes says something smart.
>>320226652
You may call these guys idiots, but the successful ones (like Kripp) are making hundreds of thousands of dollars are years in sub fees alone, aside from Youtube money, merchandising, appearances at game conferences, etc and they get to set their own hours, have pretty easy work (playing games is not taxing). I'd love a job like that.
>>320225994
>>320226361
I think it's mostly because people tend to want to be around me. I'm constantly uplifting, I listen to people, I always have something going on at my place. I encourage my friends to talk and joke about shitty TV and movies while we watch. I'm loud and joke lots at parties.
It might sound conceited, but I'm a pretty fun guy. I don't care about gossip and shit, I never see what "you" posted on Facebook.
I just lurk here at work when I'm expecting some gaming news. Tonight, for example, some smash leaks would've been cool.
>>320227000
>I'd love a job like that.
Same here. Gonna make a spartan attempt at getting back into it starting next month if my PC upgrades are enough to get a solid quality.
Worst case I fail and never go anywhere with it, but I've gotta try.
>>320221604
Kripp's an OK streamer because he just plays to do shit and doesn't go MLG facehunter zoolock whatever the meta is . He just tries shit that sounds fun.
He's also good at making the best of his hands.
Forsen and ReyMAD are literally the only streamers that are okay to watch.
Any other answer is irrelevant.
>>320227629
I work from home currently doing programming, and that's pretty nice, but it's also can be pretty hard work. Game streaming seems way more fun, but I think you have to have a pretty magnetic personality to pull it off. Also months of patience (and money set aside to live) to get people watching your channel.
Also, I do like to watch Fighting Game streams. I like fighting games, and its almost like watching sports. Almost. Because we all know competitive gaming isn't sports.
>>320227839
>that week when reynad tried to hit on mira
It was like watching a 11 year old trying to hit on a hot 16 year old girl.
>>320221604
Lmao I saw that stream earlier. He bitched for an hour because he hasn't gotten a Consecrate since October in arena. He also went on a 2 minute rant the other day about how he rarely picks Mage in arena, after both being the frontrunner for not picking Mage because "it's too easy" and then does nothing but pick Mage every time it's available.
It's mainly for background noise, but it has become really obnoxious the past several months. He doesn't sound like he's enjoying Hearthstone at all, and the stream continues to rapidly decline in quality, yet it's baffling he gets 30k viewers and constant subs. Really sucks because his PoE content was really enjoyable.

>>320221786
having forsen as background noise is fucking pure clown fiesta (normal term; hilarious)
his stream is a gold mine for m3m3s
>>320227998
He succeeded with Tyggbar, even got her into his bed eventually, so he's doing ok
https://i.imgur.com/owmRwFU.gifv
>>320221604
he looks dead inside
>>320228172
He streams for like 8 hours at a time and has a totally messed up sleep schedule. He's way more 'awake' on Youtube

Hey guys a little bit sick today kinda tired cuz I didn't sleep well gonna be another short stream we're going to clear up some dallies on the free accounts first we'll do some arena later
>>320227858
>I think you have to have a pretty magnetic personality to pull it off
Something I'm hoping to work on. I work retail, so I'm decent at being engaging.
>Also months of patience to get people watching your channel.
I'm pretty patient. So long as I get a couple of people around to give me stuff to talk about, I'm happy.
>(and money set aside to live)
Eh, only if you intend to have an immediate strict schedule. Honestly, if I do start to get any income from it, it'd go towards making the stream better before I think about making the dive into using it for sustaining my living situation.
>>320228306
>8 hours
Try 3.
>>320228123
It's almost like it's true. Weird!
>>320225916
he went full retard because his girlfriend quit her job, moved from her homeland to Canada, she does nothing all day because nobody gives a fuck about your diplomas after Aristotle fucking died

anyone else? sometimes sodapopin when he plays somemthing fun to watch
i play something and have them in the background tbqh
>>320226249
Wasn't he the one who kek'd some other dude? Or is a kek himself now?
>>320228598
Unlike most streamers who end up as background noise, I actually really enjoy Forsen's stream. It's the most toxic, out of control shit on Twitch I've ever seen, and I love it.
>>320225673
Its late Mathew. Go to bed
rip gigger the only entertaining streamer
>>320228707
shut the fuck up kev
>>320228401
Well he used to do 12-16, so he probably deserves a break, especially now he's married/engaged. Like I'd literally go to bed and wake up and he'd still be going for hours.
>>320221604
people dont watch people play games op. I dont think you understand the point of streaming. 99.9% of people just listen in for the commentary and the .1% actually do watch it / chat shitpost also.
>>320222708
>12 win arena runs, which is 100% win rate
>What is 12-2
I miss his path of exile content.
His fanbase is now pewdiepie-tier and it kills me.
>LE MEMEARINO-REST IN PEPPERONI PIZZA XD
>PURDY GUUUUD NEVER LUCKY LMAO
It's worse than the pseudo-Ebonics bullshit thats been here for the past couple of months.
>>320222752
That kid is autistic as fuck. Not funny, entitled little brat. I used to watch Reckful play sometimes, until I realized the dude is borderline psychopath
>>320221604
>So why do people watch these people play games? this dude right here sounds like he's bored as shit and apparently he's not even that good so why even watch it?
When you're not really sure about buying a game and are hoping to find a reason to purchase it.
>>320228728
Who is this mathew.
>>320228123
It's hard to explain but it's alot easier to just filter out and makes you feel less alone when it's just playing in the background while you're dicking around on the internet. With music there's a bit of a fatigue that can come from it and real sense of loneliness but that's just as nice at other times too.
I personally like having a movie or something on my second monitor so I can keep myself from getting depressed.
>>320228809
Oh man, only 85% win rate which is still astronomically, my bad. What's it like being autistic?
go onto any stream and they all look the same and pretty much every streamer has autism
>>320228819
Breaking up with his girlfriend of 9 years live on stream and laughing about it is when I realised he is completely fucked in the head.
I felt sorry for him for getting banned from WoW, until I started to learn how much of a bad person he is.
>>320228890
No idea, I just like pointing out mistakes.
>>320228742
What happened to gig? Did he lose his house in online poker?
>>320229070
Yeah, that's what I saw too, and I was like "damn, this guy is pretty fucked up" Like, turn off the stream and deal with your personal shit. That was mad messed up. And he handled it like a complete fucking whacko to top it off
Kripp is a "hardcore" gamer. Used to watch him a lot back when he played Diablo 3 and POE. Sadly he's stuck playing the most casual game of the decade because that's what his fans want. I feel bad for the dude. At least he has a girlfriend now.
>>320228848
>so I can keep myself from getting depressed.
Well its the other way around for me. Too much sounds from different direction makes me feel uneasy because i'm an aspie bipolar fuck. Any way i feel as if i'm a bitter old man when i see these threads and people discussing their favorite Ecelebs or what ever they are called. Maybe it actually triggers me. because they consider them "content artist" as though they are putting forth any real creative effort to sit in front of a camera and play games and people all flock to watch them and they get millions of hits for Youtube. Meanwhile i'm writing music, doing some remixes and attempting some animation and here my shit gets like 300 views at max.. consider me BTFO i guess.
>>320230313
Being an entertainer is a real skill. Maybe not as creative as being a musician, but still a skill. Also half of being a musician is being around long enough for people to remember and recognize you. I'm sure you'll be successful eventually.
>>320228707
I watch it too. It's like a social experiment being broadcasted live globally.
>>320230313
Yeah I ask myself all the time how these people are popular and why they are obsessed over on all forms of media, but I have to accept that I'm getting older and I'm not the wanted audience anymore in most forms of media. I'm starting to feel like it's about time I get a new hobby and delve into my own passion instead of expecting the internet to provide content for me.
>>320226024
How good is Kripperino Skipperino?
>>320230784
Well put friend. Hope you find that "passion" you speak of. Have already found mine. Now i just need to gather the motivation to get back into my "place"

It's a shittier, faster, modern day message board. Both the game and the streamer are the topic and the discussion is meme spewing in it's purest form.
This is the future you chose.

Man you don't imagine how many people don't know the joy of music.
