Twitch.tv , the medium through which amazing victories and crushing
defeats are proudly/shamefully broadcasted around the world to any one
who will watch. Its most recent claim to fame is the creation of a
pseudo-religion that spawned such phrases like praise helix and an
interesting view upon a debate over anarchy vs democracy. Twitch.Tv is
anything but dull in terms of history. However , the content it normally
produces is in many respects quite dull.The concept is simple. A person
with a webcam and suitable hardware broadcasts a live video stream of
themse3lves playing video games. Thats it. Anyone can watch or not. So
how is this service popular? That answer is also quite simple. Many
videogame related YouTube persona's will actively broadcasts themselves
on twitch for fans and post up the resulting video on youtube for easy
content production. the number of views can easily reach anywhere from
2000 to 50000+ viewers for these people, but on average a regular person
will most likely get around 3 to 20 people watching.
-the usual UI that you will see when using this service. It works. Mostly.
The
chat interface however is different. it works usually but lag and high
levels of input render this service catatonic sometimes. The text itself
is cryptic to most non gamers as well.
