How cool is that image of Bob Ross being marked a canvas Twitch , eh? Well, here we go:
Until recently, video games were our main source of “digital entertainment”, to call in some way. We have always needed a control or a mouse and keyboard in hand, though, of doors for inside, at home, we already knew that the “one plays and other looks”; It is perfectly valid. Cuantísimos games we’ve been through together with a colleague … and the result was the same, he or jugaras you play, the game was passed from start to finish and enjoyed Had you both or (probably) rather than alone.
But then came Twitch . That platform live broadcast dedicated to video games and with it that of “play watching” what we were talking has reached a new level.
Not many longer need that control in the hands, or it a friend in charge of play; now someone from home does that work and we become spectators. It is a rare development because the game did we left the tele aside for better entertainment; but now, for many people, Twitch is making it important not to “play” but “see”.
For some time, I followed wanting championships “ e-sports “of my favorite games. The “ EVO ” in Las Vegas, where the best players of fighting games around the world meet, or even a championship Counter Strike made the hours pass almost without realizing it; are major events where a lot of money is invested, much sponsor … however, called my attention that some of my friends spent hours watching games Heartstone (for example) of individual players; without there was nothing at stake in a tournament.
And has now reached Overwatch and has happened to me. I played (and play) my hours at Overwatch , but one day I walked into Twitch and saw the little sign of Overwatch as one of the most played games today, so I decided to enter a couple of players channels “dedicated” to the cause and my hours started flying. I met “TimtheTatman”, a type of USA was commenting on how healthy it was the Subway sandwich that was taking between rounds; and she danced super stupid ditty zooming to your face every time someone donated money to your channel.
The guy plays well (very, very good) and says what happens in each moment, cries when something goes very wrong and laughs when everything is going well; the hours pass and you start to feel that you know. Makes you want to play you because you see him play it and learn, and always think “finish watching this, I get I,” but it’s time for dinner and then everything starts again.
I do not know what fascinates me; if the fact of being hooked to see a guy playing a game from the US that I could play or the fact that the channel has become the daily fun of thousands of people and also altruistically, people to donate to this guy 27 years to live it.
it’s happening. And if you think it makes perfect sense; people feel they have to pay for things that make them life more fun, you can consider an investment indeed. And all this makes hundreds of players between 20 and 30 years of age, have left their job “mi3r% ª” to devote all his time to video games, becoming almost unwittingly friends tens of thousands of kids bored around the world. They have come at the right time and do it well, have grace and can play … the rest comes alone.
In fact, speaking of Twitch , fun and of money; we drop the Summer Games Done Quick (we talked about last year shot made) are about to start. Week 3 to July 10 will meet the best “speed runners” around the world and spend all week ending games sublimely and uninterruptedly.
In this link you have the sheet route all that will happen throughout the week. Times appear in your private zone.
Finally, the industry is changing. The figures do not have to change, but I already know people whose only contact with video games is “ Twitch ” (and were very, very jugones …). So, you know, the next time you have a dead time, let yourselves fall Twitch , to see what happens …
