How "Live Streaming" is my Salvation!

Nothing is more entertaining for me than developers doing a live-stream of their game. A recent example could be Daniel Erickson's live-stream of him playing a class in TOR, but perhaps more importantly, Funcom's live-stream on Xfire 2009! 

It's just plain exciting to see people who's also the makers of a game, wander around and look at points of interest and tiny bits of content that they tried to bring a special meaning to! Chosain Province, a zone that would mean otherwise very little to players, (due to Grasslands and Kara Korum being the MOST viable zones at the moment) has become, to me, a special area, and thanks to the live-stream I actually look at the zone differently.

It's not just that though, it's also the fact that they're truly communicating to us, the players, and I wouldn't be playing Age of Conan unless Sil, Famine, Joel, Tarib (aka those guys) were talking to us.
