The only "streaming" I can watch are Game Grumps, but I get that's not live, and it's by and for a completely different demographic.

I've tried, but I find a lot of Twitch play-throughs to be low-stimulation, low-information, and low-entertainment. I think they're better suited to a dual-screen kind of situation, but then I'd rather be doing far more engaging things like playing games myself.

    I miss when GameGrumps wasn't so corporate

    I miss it too. If I had to guess, Arin sees a day with wall-to-wall recording sessions and meetings, and misses those chaotic early days.

    I look at it this way: it's a lot less home-grown now that it's grown up. In exchange, they employ people, make Starbomb tours actually possible, and fund wildly off-the-wall games. Along the way, Dan was propelled into modest stardom, a lot of other folks from their camp got a boost for their endeavors, and they got to make some memorable moments with a few celebs. They're not at "Liquid Game Grumps" levels yet, but it's amazing to watch unfold. Maybe that's worth it.
