Much like over live television, uncertainty always looms large over live streaming. Things quickly went awry during a young woman’s online streaming party when flames started to rage in her kitchen. Now, the video is going viral across social media sites, where netizens are roasting her for her “clout”. During a live cooking stream on the American service Twitch, Kelly Caron, a streamer known as Kjanecaron, was attempting to cook a steak. However, as she began searing the meat, viewers could see smoke coming out of the pan. And in an attempt to save the food, Caron removed the meat from the oil-soaked pan using a tong clamp, trying to fan away the heavy smoke by hand. But things then escalated quickly. Before she knew it, a sudden fiery eruption was noticed, sending smoke alarms to blare in the background. Panicked by the occurrence, the Miami-based star was then seen trying to put out the grease fire by placing the pan under the tap on the sink! Naturally, it caused the flame to rage further, almost leading the blaze to spread further. “Oh, sh*t. F**k, f**k, f**k, f**k” she can be heard swearing on camera. Panicking and running from one…

It appears that ARMA 4 will be officially announced in the coming days, more than eight years after ARMA 3 was released as one of the most realistic open-world military tactical shooters in history. Taking to Twitter earlier today, publisher-and-developer Bohemia Interactive announced a special livestream for next week that will discuss the future of the ARMA franchise. While no hints were given, Bohemia Interactive is strongly expected to reveal ARMA 4 as a next-generation successor and not just another content add-on for the existing, long-running installment. 🚨 Make sure to mark this date on your calendar! May 17, 12:00 CDT | 19:00 CEST. 🚨See you at https://t.co/ha82TnEKaS. https://t.co/soQWlo6v8Z — Bohemia Interactive (@bohemiainteract) May 12, 2022 The expectation of a new ARMA 4 announcement stems from several reasons. Firstly, Bohemia Interactive is known to be working on an unannounced project. Secondly, the publisher revealed its new Enfusion engine last December which was described as a “powerful toolset” to support “any potential new ARMA game” in the future. Thirdly, Bohemia Interactive CEO Marek Spanel potentially teased ARMA 4 a couple of days back by tweeting “Everon 4 Ever!” which was taken as a play on words for the new installment. Everon…

Just as cooking shows draw large and dedicated audiences on network television, cooking streams are an incredibly popular category on Twitch. Unlike more professional productions, however, the people cooking on the streaming platform are not necessarily experts with the requisite training and equipment. This is when potentially dangerous situations can arise, all in front of a Twitch audience who can’t do much to help. In the past, there have been some onscreen catastrophes captured on Twitch. These have for the most part involved burglaries, swatting incidents, and even earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Sometimes the incidents are not too severe and can be joked about afterwards, such as when Twitch streamer Woofy caught her hair on fire, presumably due to the presence of hairspray and a nearby burning candle. Other situations with fire are not always so easily dismissed. On Wednesday, Twitch content creator Kjanecaron was holding a subathon and decided to stream herself cooking. Things soon began to go off the rails, as her kitchen filled with smoke and the atmosphere generally felt a bit chaotic. Soon, however, things got even worse as the fire alarm began sounding and the grease in Kjanecaron's frying pan burst into flames.…

Multi-Grammy award winning superstar Sheryl Crow stopped by Rolling Stone’s Twitch channel this past week to talk about her new documentary Sheryl and three new songs on it’s accompanying soundtrack. Sheryl has been in the works for a while, but Sheryl herself indicated in this interview that she was very hesitant to even tell her story until other musicians pushed her. “I had some encouragement from younger artists. I mean Brandi Carlile… she was one of the people who said you have to do this.” Crow went on to describe how she created connections with young artists in her career, much like the connections she made with Stevie Nicks, Carole King who inspired her to leave her hometown and start her journey. Crow made it very clear that Sheryl talks about the good times, but does not hold back on the lesser known dark times. Previewing some of the hardships of her career, Crow brought up some deep cuts that really set the scene for what she went through. She noted her song “Weather Channel” as one of those deep cuts, saying “I joke around about how it’s just this really sweet song about suicidal tendencies… but everybody has low…

Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets are no longer in postseason contention, which has granted the mercurial point guard some extra free time. The Nets star recently decided to use some of that time to play some video games and also stream his session live to fans on Twitch. It did not turn out as harmless as it sounds. A handful of Celtics fans decided to clown him in the comments, which the Nets star was not going to take sitting down. Instead, Kyrie Irving called them out and even impersonated them with an impish expression.

The Nets star doesn’t have any plans on doing it for free. He asked for a cool $5…
