Twitch: Watching the games you love!
Hello!
Today, I’d like to talk a little about one of my favourite nerdy things to do in my spare time. Most of the time, when I’m not working on the computer, I’ll be watching videos on the computer. Some people will watch YouTube, or TV shows or movies on various websites, but for me my favourite site to watch is called Twitch. Twitch is a special kind of video site, because it’s not things that people have recorded and uploaded onto the internet. Twitch is a service that allows people to stream a video game that they’re playing so that other people around the world can see them and chat with them. If I chose to play a game, I could subscribe to Twitch, and have that game be broadcast while I’m playing it online so anyone could come and watch and say hello!
Some people who stream games on twitch are only doing it because they love games and want to share that affection they have with other people. Some streamers, however, have found a way to make money off of this! Twitch has a subscription service for certain popular streamers, that allows the people playing the game to make an income from playing video games all day!
Another very popular thing that people like to do with games is something called speed running. This is when you attempt to get through the game as quickly as possible. Sometimes, depending on the game, this can take a few hours for one attempt, but others can take as little as 20 minutes! There are competitions, tournaments, and even world records for how quickly people can complete a game they choose to speed run and almost any game can be played like this! It’s like seeing some one train at a sport, but you’re watching a video game instead!
If you’re maybe interested in a particular game, but want to see what it’s like before you buy it, or if you just like watching the games you love being played, Twitch is a really interesting and fun website that you can spend a lot of time exploring and enjoying!
