goddamnit this is genius for making money

I admire the innovation, but I don't see why people hit the subscribe button on twitch unless all they do is watch a broadcaster for hours per day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Too much money and not enough hobbies, I reckon.

I'm sure over a period of days you could feel some sort of progression but I watched it for 5 minutes and had no idea how anything got done.

The best part of watching this is when you actually witness -hours upon hours- of progress wiped away. Last night when I started watching, they were apparently really far into a maze, and people somehow activated a Pokemon's "Dig" ability, porting the player outside of the maze. Basically hit the reset button. I believe this happened again later on, too, but in a different maze.

The rage coupled with confusion is amazing.

Yeah it's pretty fucked up. I wish someone would post a play by play because 99% of it is random circular movements with the start button thrown in there for good measurement.

This one is at least doing something though - apparently a number of other ones have popped up too. I laughed when I saw "twitch plays super Mario" and that in 15 hours they still haven't gotten anywhere past the first hole.
