Playing games with friends is one of the best ways to experience a compelling narrative, bloody warfare or relationship destroying player versus player action. In today’s day and age, the power of the Internet is taken for granted; being able to connect with millions of people around the world is a 21st. Century phenomenon.

So, knowing this, Twitch capitalized on the idea of shared gaming on more than just a couch level. Rather than playing your favorite video games alone or with less than enthusiastic friends, you can share your experience with the world!

What this means is you can also watch funny, talented, and professional gamers anytime you want! With Twitch being overpowered by new and old streamers alike, we at TheGamer have hand-picked 10 Twitch streamers you should follow.
