Ryuanime.com for when I feel like binge watching an entire anime over 48 hours (Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Cowboy Bebop being recent victims of this)

Twitch.tv has some pretty good streams for all sorts of different games, and a lot of broadcasters are really down to earth people.

This last one is going to sound a little weird, but I've actually been frequenting Chaturbate quite a bit, and not even for obvious reasons: some of the girls on there are really laid back, and the community can actually hold a conversation about a variety of different topics (provided you're not on one of the top streams...then everyone's just there for one thing in particular >.>) I mean don't get me wrong, I know what the purpose of CB is, but talking to a pretty, half-naked woman about astronomy or scientific stuff is pretty cool, in my opinion.

How do you initiate that? Do you just join a channel and say "Hey, have you heard about Pluto? Such a shame..."

Jokes aside, I never really knew you could actually have a discussion on Chaturbate. It seems like the overwhelming majority is there for the same reason, and anything that strays from their desires would be angrily cut off pretty quick.

It all depends on the broadcaster. Usually if you stray from the front page of, say, the Female tab, for example, you can find a pretty woman with a lower viewer count, that's either just starting the stream, or having a little hangout session before they get to the down and dirty bits. It's a bit like being backstage before a concert...except the concert is amateur porn. xD

After you've found a chill broadcaster, it's just a matter of hanging out. Some of them bring up current events and stuff, and a lot of them actually WANT the conversation to continue (because silence during a stream is a sign of boredom, and they're trying to entertain!) so they'll usually find a way to keep the talk flowing and natural.
