What is The Dream Land?
We live in interesting times! In the wake of competitive video gaming's rising commercial success, many industries have split off in order to provide game viewers and players with additional content. Similar to how sports networks have talk shows geared toward football or soccer, many internet podcast and live stream hosts discuss players, tournaments, results and strategies for their favorite competitive video games, such as League of Legends or Call of Duty.

The Dream Land is one such live stream, focusing its discussion around the 1999 Nintendo game Super Smash Brothers.
The logo of The Dream Land, an abstracted version of the Super Smash Bros. level that the podcast takes its name from (also seen in the background of the stream overlay).
The main portion of the show is structured around three to five guests discussing the game's content via webcams, headsets and microphones. My goal here is to present the show's name and each host's nickname without distracting from the main content (their cameras).
The Dream Land live stream as it would be viewed on the video streaming website Twitch.tv.
