Actually one of the things that got me hooked on LPs and Speedruns is because for a long time I was watching Broodwar broadcasts. I was there the first year when a few people started up CSL (Collegiate Star League). Shit was tight and we had a few people who were really playing it up on the leaderboards at UCI's IEEE Lan party. Some people from UCSD DROVE UP! I digress.
People like Cholera, etc were commentating on OSL and MSL games.... and I wasn't the only one watching this stuff on youtube. I met some people at Uni who were watching during one of my GE classes :> and later... after CSL (and teamliquid forays)... well my youtube suggested feed started to give me let's play suggestions.
Especially, RPG let's plays.
But then came the let's plays for horror games. Games I myself just can't bring myself to play. And I found Cryaotic.
and I fell in love with Cry :p
The end.
