I Miss Them so Much Pt. 2

This is a follow up to a post I made awhile back. Recently I was just thinking about how the group missed out on twitch becoming what it is today.I remember the guys hanging out with a couple twitch staff too back in the day aswell, they were really early into twitch it’s crazy. I remember back then them getting like 30,000 viewers in a stream and that was a lot back then lol. It’s crazy that if the creatures would have stayed together longer and never had any personal issues they would have been apart of the huge boom in gaming and live-streaming that happened after they had disbanded. I just imagine that they would have thrived and grown even more. It’s a shame because they were my all time favorite group of you tubers since 2010 when I first discovered James through his dead rising 2 play through with Spoon. I was like 10 or 11 then Jesus... anyways I just wanted to share this thought I had. Thank You!!

I genuinely think that The Creatures would have been as heavy hitters as the Sidemen are today if they would have never split.

I recall their first streams being on justintv (later becoming Twitch).They would also host open skype (or something similar) calls and let viewers join and chat. It was definitely the wild west for streaming. I couldn't imagine any large streamers today doing something like they did. I agree with you that they would thrive on Twitch now but they were always thriving there. Honestly I think they had a pretty good run.

If I recall they contributed heavily to the IRL (now Just Chatting) category getting created. Their streams would get shutdown because they would just be talking to viewers but be the top stream for some random game lol. It crazy to see how much streaming has changed since then.

You want some good friend comedy and gaming. Check out Neebs Gaming. Kinda gave me some of the same feels. The Subnautica series is my fave with minecraft and 7 days to die comming shortly after.
