I don’t watch Twitch but I recently discovered a really great streamer on Youtube called Jerma985. I could not ignore his work as a New Media artist and I now consider Jerma the GREATEST STREAMER OF ALL TIME. While Jerma typically streams tons of classic games old and new on Twitch, he truly shines by going above and beyond by organizing wild, wacky interactive events for his viewers. I did a ton of digging on Youtube and found several of his zany events that bridge the gap from Fun Game Shows Tropes of 90’s Nickelodeon and Twitch interactivity. My favorite ones so far are:
Jerma’s Carnival - Jerma hires a real life carnival and rigs some machines that his viewers can control via the chat so they can play some of the carnival games. Very interesting idea. He also hired some clowns to perform on stream.
Jerma Does A Polygraph Test - This one is self explanatory. He collected some funny questions from his chat and hired a professional to ask him those questions while giving him a polygraph test.
Live Action Jerma Rumble - Jerma hires a team of amateur backyard wrestlers, complete with a real wrestling ring. This is an evolution of his popular “Jerma Rumble” event in which he pits created characters in the “Jermaverse” against each other on the latest WWE video game. In this video, he goes all out and has the wrestlers dress up as their digital doppelgangers.
BONUS:
Jerma Streams his Family’s Easter Dinner - This is an odd one. Jerma streams an easter dinner with his “Family” and serves them all food straight from the can. Very “Lynchian.”
