About
Vinesauce is a video game streaming website which features hosts commentating on a wide variety of games, including corrupted versions of games on the NES/SNES/N64 etc. played on an emulator. Most of their videos on YouTube consist of snippets taken from their main Twitch livestreams[11].
History
The original Vinesauce YouTube page[1] was created on February 20th, 2010 by a video streamer identifying himself as "Vinny." The name "Vinesauce" originally comes from an inside joke his friends came up with when remarking that the vines in the game Mario Party appeared to be "coming out of an ass."[2] The YouTube channel initially featured recordings of video game playthroughs and amateur comedy videos.
On May 11th, 2010, Vinny launched the Vinesauce website[3] and was joined by several additional streamers, including KY, Joel, Fred, MentalJen, Limes, Darren, Studyguy, Rev, Hootey, Imakuni and FearGingers.[4] On April 13th, 2013, a page for "Vinesauce" was created on TV Tropes.[5] On April 17th, the Vinesauce Tumblr[7] blog was launched. On January 25th, 2014, a Facebook[10] page titled "Vinesauce" was created, gained over 2,100 likes in the first four months.
Features
The Vinesauce website contains feeds for each Vinesauce streamer, archives of past video feeds and a user discussion forum.
