yup, i watch 20+ hour VODS of someone playing a game instead of just playing the game myself.
It's quite similar to watching sports on TV instead of playing sports yourself. 3rd person enjoyment if you will
Although playing video games is still fun for me. Playing sports just reminds me of how old and decrepit my body has become over the years.
I do that cause I can't play the game myself.
I buy a game then put the vods of other people playing on my other monitor
This is what I do as well. That's when my middle-aged ass realized I've actually turned into my 9yo nephew lol
My 9yo cousins cant hack it. I let them play my pc and the second youtube went on the other screen they were hypnotised, completely stopped playing the game for 15 mins
