Twitch? I don't get it.

You know, I thaught the app was bugged or something. Every time I go there to check out the eso things it says nothing playing now.

I figured it was recorded and I could watch it later or something like YouTube. Guess not. Must have had to been there? Is it only live? Can anyone stream twitch stuff?

The official ESO devstream is held once a week. You can watch other streams. The videos can be watched later, but only in a browser. Yes, everyone can stream to Twitch.

Well, hehe, I'm not young (54) and I'm thinking about starting my own stream on Twitch. I've looked around on the site quite a lot the past few days and there are streamers of many ages, speeds, and sensitivities. I found it really refreshing actually.

I've seen the posts about Twitch Crates but had very little knowledge of what Twitch is. I heard a business podcast on how the company got started (very interesting, btw, if you're a fan of business startup stories) so I knew the general premise but I'd never looked into what it actually does.

With all the talk of Twitch and Crates, I did some research. I'm in a bit of shock...

People actually watch other people play a video game? I thought "no way...I must be reading this wrong...surely there's something people do there other than watch someone else play a video game. Nope...that's it?

Maybe because I'm older but actually PLAYING a video game is, by far, the biggest waste of time I have in my life. But watching someone else play a video game is about the lamest thing I've ever heard!

Do people really do that or are they just doing it for free crates? Honestly...

Youtube and other live stream platforms are the new "TV". Welcome to the new age.
