[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7729404, member: 1465"] Aha! So you see what's the problem? You just called it WORK. So something that was created to be a game is now a job, or otherwise a competition? :) It makes sense to watch something to get better at it. Still, isn't getting better supposed to still have the purpose of fun? I am not even a fan of lousy beer and pretzel and burpy gaming, I always wanted to play ANY game well, because it's rewarding for me, playing well is more fun for my tastes. Nevertheless it doesn't fully convince me that watching someone else play without me is going to be nearly as beneficial as playing (which includes watching by the way). Yes I can tell that those guys are good (I watched half the first episode). But I don't see any point watching more. To get even better... and then what? Maybe it's just a matter of time budget vs how much you're into the hobby, and maybe I am not enough into it. [/QUOTE]
