Vinesauce is a streaming media site founded on May 11th, 2010 by Vincent "Vinny Vinesauce" Pizzapasta* in New York City, New York. At first on his own, he slowly accumulated other streamers under the Vinesauce umbrella, all of them streaming video games throughout the week with an emphasis on variety and humor. Initially they all shared the same Vinesauce channel, but have recently split into their respective channels and play on their own schedule and sometimes collaborate on co-oping games on stream. A lot of you may know Vinesauce through Vinny's corruption streams, where he injects data into ROM games in order to corrupt them from the inside-out [often through the in-house Vinesauce Corrupter], or from Joel and his destruction of Windows OS systems. Additionally, on every July since 2014, they host the Vinesauce Charity Stream where all available streamers take turns playing games throughout the day to raise money for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.

While Team Vinesauce has its own website for seamless stream viewing at Vinesauce.com, most of the streamers have other outlets for their videos.

Does the Vinesauce Team have a concrete screaming schedule?
While the streamers maintain general streaming patterns (For instance, Vinny and Direboar tend to stream late at night while Limes streams in the afternoon as far as the US is concerned), there's no set schedule for streams and everyone does it at their own pace. An easy way to track them is to just follow them on Twitch.
Can I stream on Vinesauce, I heard that was possible at some point?
It is true that a few years ago, all streamers shared the vinesauce twitch account and guest streamer sign ups were taken in the event no streamer would be online for hours. Nowadays the team transitioned from a single channel shared by all streamers, to everyone streaming in their separate channels. Therefore there is no current need for guest streamers.
What kind of games does each streamer play?
Every streamer has their own preferences in games as stated above, but always expect them to play the games they want to play as well as games that people will enjoy watching.
I want to send game suggestions and gifts to the streamers, where can I do that?
Contact information for all the streamers is available on the main site here. Additionally, Vinny has a P.O. Box open for gifts and shovelware submissions.
Why doesn't Vinny or the other streamers take up my game request?
All the streamers, Vinny especially, may have to parse through emails similar to yours that request they play a game suggested to them. Whether or not they comply is solely up to them.
I thought Vinny did game corruptions, why haven't I seen any on stream?
Live video game corruptions are actually very uncommon on Vinesauce due to the nature of trial and error not being consistently interesting for streaming. However, as Vinny accepts submissions to make the process faster, people who want Vinny to play their specific corruptions can send it to him via email.
Do any of them do anything else besides play video games?
While the main purpose of the Vinesauce streams are to play video games, Streamers have other projects that they promote to the viewers such as Vinny's band Red Vox as well as Vinny and KY's podcast Two On The Vine.
