I spend a lot of time with twitch in the background. Love watching variety casters and speed runners. Mofat(zodiacsmash), Cosmo, Sig, Trihex, shadowjacky are my favorite runners to watch. I'm looking for more runners to watch so thanks to those posting suggestions. I've lurked a couple of neil's streams and enjoyed them, I'll check out whitegoose when I see him on next.
Love watching Chaide, he streams a lot of retro and usually with the original hardware. Very chill, laid back casts. Spamfish is an hilarious caster, streams a lot of GTA. He's pretty bad at games but that's part of his appeal because he's a very funny guy that doesn't take it seriously. The chat can be pretty trolly though.
I've been watching Lethalfrag since about day 30 of his challenge and also been watching Manvsgame since he was on justin.tv. As much as I think they're great casters and enjoy watching them, the hero worship in the chat is really off putting. People pretty much praise them like they're cult leaders. I usually watch those streams with the chat hidden.
I'm getting really put off by some of the big casters being so money focused as well lately. I understand they're trying to make a living, I sub to 3 casters myself, I'm just getting sick of hearing "click on my links, disable *******, follow, donate, sub, share" etc every 15 mins. Most of them have a sub button anyway.

This is the story I've been told. He used to work at Justin.tv before they started Twitch. He was fired but before he left he put his face in the emote codes and didn't tell anyone. No idea why he made the code Kappa. Now it's the universal symbol for sarcasm on Twitch. Basically if you see anyone write something and finish it off with that face, don't take them seriously.
