History
Gamestah was formed in 2003, after Return to Castle Wolfenstein players with the game-names Russkie, Spot and D-FENZ wanted to begin a service for the Australian gaming community, to provide commentary of Return to Castle Wolfenstein matches that took place on gaming ladders such as GameArena and Netspace's Gamespace gaming ladder. Gamestah shoutcaster Stewart "Ej" Brumm revealed in an interview for TV show Good Game that "before Gamestah, shoutcasting in Australia was a very ad-hoc thing." Through time and resources provided by volunteers, Gamestah quickly became well-known through the communities which it had covered extensively. It became approved shoutcasters for GameArena in 2005, and became closely associated with GameArena and Ausgamers, both run by Australian games software company Mammoth Media.
In 2008, Gamestah began providing videocasts of important matches as well as launching GTV-VOD, a video-on-demand service providing streaming video of its videocasts.
