**IMPORTANT:** After releasing this video, Twitch updated their IRC chat password methods to where now you don't need to use your actual Twitch account password any more, but rather generate an OAuth password after authorizing it on your account. Please read more and take the link on this official Twitch article to setup your account with an OAuth password, then copy and paste the entire line (including the oauth: part) into your password field in HexChat. Here's the article: http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1302780-twitch-irc

Just a really brief guide/tutorial to connecting to any TwitchTV stream chat using an IRC client. In the video I use HexChat (which can be downloaded here: http://hexchat.github.io/) because I like it, it's free, and it's simple. I go over how to connect to my Twitch chat in the video, but you can replace the #itzmurda_tv channel name with any other TwitchTV channel and connect to their chat as well. I made the video specifically with the LoL World Championships in mind, as anything like this with major Twitch viewership usually makes the chat go bonkers for most other streamers, but feel free to use this method of connecting to chat as little or as often as you like in the future! Please be encouraged to post comments or send me direct messages if you have any questions.
