[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 7867835, member: 926"] This is why I just haven't been able to watch any streamed D&D games: the "performing" is just annoying to me, and every stream I've ever tried to watch has seemed to be nothing but literally hours of drawn out character interactions with meaningless NPCs like cooks and janitors, pointless interactions with NPCs who have nothing to do with the plot and will never be seen again. And far too much of it mixed with a lot of derailing "funny" buffoonery from players who seem to treat the whole game as nothing but a big joke, giving their characters stupid names and annoying personalities... that kind of stuff would ruin a game for me and honestly drive me to quit, and I have no desire to watch someome else play it either. I love jokes and humor during a game, but treating the game itself as a joke makes me genuinely angry when I'm trying to play. The only streamed D&D game I ever actually enjoyed watching was Stephen Colbert's charity game session; he was the only one I ever watched who treated the game like the actual D&D players I've ever played with. That one was a joy to watch, while all the others have been like watching someone scrape their fingernails across a chalkboard. [/QUOTE]
