Frankly, watching theatrical silent playthroughs of a video game is something I prefer. Especially if the player is both skilled at the game and good at making consistent roleplay decisions. A good editor makes a big difference.

I always find weird watch other people playing a game.

For me gaming is always a personal experience and my main passion, i have precious little free time and during this this time i couldn't imagine expending time watching someone enjoying videogame while i could be playing myself

Fair enough, I can respect that. Honestly, I'd rather read a book. Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with elitist bullshit like story quality or anything. I'm just bad at video games, and I don't want to have to demonstrate nearly superhuman dexterity skills and reflexes or insane 4D-chess pattern prediction just to find out if I was right about the villain back story twist we've been building up to for four years. And getting kicked back to chapter 1 every time I fuck up a check or an attack would make me go crazy. X'D
