I kind of see his point... I still don't see watching other people play video games very exciting for most games. Then again, I don't watch bowling or golf... or baseball either. I will watch curling. So who knows why something is entertaining to one and not others.

That's a really good point...I watch my share of sports (mostly football, with a bit of baseball and college basketball on occasion. And like the Olympics). And things like cooking shows at times. (Not so much home improvement ones, but those are really popular, I know.)
I know I've mentioned this on here before, but it's relevant. Dr. T is a sports psychologist (plus a regular licensed psychologist), but he's said he doesn't like watching sports. That he likes to be involved somehow, whether playing, coaching, something like that. I asked if he even likes watching the sport he plays, and he said not really. So I guess that's similar to the video game thing.
And I guess if it's a particular video game that the person plays, maybe they could learn tips or something. Sort of like cooking shows.
