It's cool watching people of different skill levels than you, not just the pros I think. Also when people take on challenges that take a long time, you can kind of skip through the vid at your leisure.

Plus sometimes you just don't have the energy to game. It's like Matt Groening said in that old Life is Hell comic (although about tv): Why is tv the best pal of all? When you're tired, tv does the playing for you.
