    Cant really grasp the concept of watching other people playing video games.

    The kids do and have tried to tell me about the Witcher (game i played 100 hours off and finished). They watch these and i honestly do not get the point of them, is it a review? is it seeing the game before buying?

    Umm why do you watch people playing a video game? Would you not rather play the game and have your own opinion?

    / I get it if its MP

    The person is either much better at the game than you and you're learning from watching them, the person is very funny/interesting and you're watching for their story/reactions rather than the game itself or you're watching to see what the game is like before deciding to purchase or not. Usually most kids are watching for the second reason, plus a little "If I can't buy it I can at least watch it."

    Watch maxamillion dudes Shao Khan boss rage from MK9 there is something strangely perverse about watching someone else going through the misery that that you did

    I like Jim Sterling's letsplays when he's covering a game that isn't obviously awful like tea party simulator or other stuff like that.

    Jacksepticeye is up there with Ali-A in terms of what's wrong with the YouTube gaming community.

    It sounds like he's trying very hard to be Irish.

    Genuine question - how can you manage to sink 100hrs in to The Witcher and have kids?

    It's easy, the first step is installing Minecraft on an old laptop...
