10 Epic Fails in Twitch Gaming
When livestreams offer an almost voyeuristic look into someone's home, you might see something
you didn't expect to see.
Such is often the case with Twitch streamers, who get caught up in the passion of their
gaming and forget that people are watching.
Hey, it happens to the best of us, right?
But that doesn't stop it from being hilarious.
Here are our picks for the most epic fails in Twitch gaming.
Don't get high and game.
Most every gamer knows the feeling of accidentally overwriting a save file, but to do it live
for everyone to see?
We'd almost feel sorry for Twitch user jugabaus if it weren't so painful to watch.
Of course, the fact he was under the influence at the time of the tragedy lost him any sympathy
from this watchers, who summarily flamed him in the comments.
Just be quiet.
In this particular case, it isn't the streamer who fails, but rather one of the guys watching
him play Tomba 2 -- rather flawlessly, we might add.
Throughout the stream, Chibi kept a running commentary of jokes that would, at best, earn
him a pity laugh.
CavemanDCJ finally gets enough and tells him the truth: "I'd really prefer if you'd be
quiet."
You could cut the cringe with a knife.
To be fair, Chibi is just a socially awkward kid, but sometimes life teaches particularly
hard lessons.
This is one of them.
Aim away from the television.
Look, we get it -- gaming can be frustrating.
Who hasn't lost their cool after running into the wall on that one level in Battletoads?
You know the one we're talking about.
That said, Twitch user Calebheart42 did a lot more than get frustrated: he flung his
controller across the room, straight at the television.
Then he did the smart thing and walked away...only to come back a few seconds later and throw
something else straight at the Cloud scroll hanging on his wall.
Hey!
Cloud has it hard enough without having things thrown at him.
Interior design fails.
If you're a professional Twitch streamer, you may not have enough time to keep your
house clean.
That's okay; just as long as you've got a green screen up behind you while you play,
right?
Day[9] uses that exact method...until he doesn't.
Halfway through a Hearthstone match, the screen topples.
You can hear something breaking in the background if you listen.
But true to form, Day[9] handles it good-naturedly and with as much aplomb as anyone can expect
in that situation.
Don't reveal your hand.
Remember the huge CS: Go betting scandal from a short time ago?
CS: Go is popular among players and watchers alike, and it's not uncommon for people to
bet with virtual items.
Dozens of these sites existed, often raking in thousands of real-world dollars.
One of the most popular CS: Go streamers, TMARTN, made the mistake of logging into his
bot account...that revealed he owned one of the sites.
Oops.
Long story short, Twitch banned him, CS: Go banned him, and he faced severe legal repercussions.
Why?
With an audience of ten million, TMARTN decided to promote the site...without disclosing to
anyone that he was the owner.
Double oops.
Twitch screaming.
Twitch gaming is serious business.
So serious that a wasp can disrupt the entire thing.
For streamer Skiddler, his Runescape quest had so captured his attention that he didn't
notice the small flying insect until it was too late -- and then it surprised him, prompting
a rather unmanly scream to erupt from his mouth.
One of the Youtube comments said it best: "Looks like some repressed childhood memories
just re-surfaced there."
Hear, scatty scatty scatty...
Cats are fantastic pets.
They're relatively self-sufficient, but even they get too excited from time to time -- as
was the case with Alinity Divine's beloved four-legged friend.
The cat jumps onto the chair, and only when it reaches the top of the chair does Alinity
notice the ever-feared dingleberry hanging from her cat's posterior.
Cue the screams.
While undeniably gross, anyone who has owned a pet has often dealt with worse...though
usually not on such an in-your-face basis.
Go to school, kids.
Making a career as a professional streamer is tough.
It's probably better to stay in school.
But in this case of this particular streamer, that didn't work out.
If you skip school, you need a good reason...like being sick.
But for Adam, being sick meant staying in bed and not playing videogames.
What is it about a mother yelling at their kid in the background of a livestream that
is just so cringy?
We're not sure, but we bet Adam could tell you.
Dance dance revolution.
Some streamers gain their following through humor, others through looks.
Kelly Jean is definitely one of the latter -- she plays League of Legends and often dresses
as characters from the game, making use of her above-average looks to snag the attention
of watchers.
Who can blame her, right?
That said, she's a good player...but not such a good dancer.
Dressed in a Leona costume, we can't help but think she'd be better off saving up for
the ult.
Wake up, Khargol.
Dungeons and Dragons requires the most out of its players.
They must pay attention and be engaged and...awake.
In this particular group, the party lost one of its members rather early on.
We'll just say he was hit with a sleep spell.
Khargol, the fighter of the group, "born of the spoils of war and in seek of a new challenge,"
apparently found the challenges he faced to be easy.
The party could no longer keep it together, and despite the DM's best efforts to wake
him, Khargol remained fast asleep.
Natural one, anybody?
Those are our picks for the greatest fails in Twitch gaming!
