the new age of casting

     A new phenomenon to hit youtube is casting personal gameplay of various games. Certain personalities have arison from this new form of entertainment one of which are the game grumps. Their for of entertainment is to play videogames and do commentary at the same time. allowing the viewers to join in on the fun. From their success they have become fully sufficient by simply continuing to play video games as a living because their subscriptions have become so high and youtube pays them for continued support of their site.
     they play games from game boy games to, atari, to n64, to even the most elusive of indie games. Their archive of titles played has reached over 50 different games, often giving multiple casts per game.
     I'm not sure how things like this have come to popularity. I for one enjoy learning about various games before I purchase them, as well as how fun they can be multiplayer, just as well It is enjoyable to watch someone laugh and respond to experiences that you are familiar with as well. All the while the casters are having so much fun and inputing hilarious commentary to fill the gaps and double the fun. Many casters work solo, joining friends from time to time, but these "game grumps" have been approaching this as a duo from the start. allowing them to play off of one another wit.
    I do not know where this genre of entertainment came from but I doubt it is going anywhere. With home media growing, and the videogame industry booming, there is much room for this form of entertainment to flourish. Some of these casters are truly lovable, I suggest looking them up
