Expat Brat

Expat Brat is a Scottish woman who roleplays in Star Citizen, a currently in-development space trading and combat simulation game. Expat Brat uses her webcam to map her facial movements onto her in-game character, and will often sweep the game camera around onto her avatar’s face while she gives a little monologue. Her Scottish accent coupled with the somewhat wonky facial tracking (one eye frequently gets so lazy it’s asleep) makes for hilarious streams, and Expat Brat’s quick wit doubles the humor.

I popped into a recent stream and told her I worked for Kotaku and was going to feature her in this precise piece. She pulled the camera out of first-person view, swung it around to face her, and loudly went “Do you work for KO-TAK-U!?” while her avatar’s mouth struggled to keep up.

“Everything you see on stream is entirely built into Star Citizen, including my humor. Oh and the sexual innuendo is totally not my fault, it’s Star Citizen,” she said, right before I left the chat.

Is there a funny, unique, or bizarre Twitch streamer we’ve left off this list that you believe deserves the spotlight? If so, let us know in the comments. Until then, I’m going to try and get Jynxzi to do an interview with me for the 10th time.
