Sitting next to someone playing video games has been one of my favourite things to do over the last few years. As much as I love playing games and playing out the story of any game. I much much much prefer to watch someone else play. I don’t know why really, but I just love it.
And I miss it so dearly.
At the moment I’m watching youtubers (Game Grumps and Markiplier) doing playthroughs. Each of them have different styles and it’s really really entertaining to watch.
But, it’s not the same.
I’m not able to join in the conversations over the game play, the graphics, what should happen next or whatever (there is one way that I could, but I don’t have the money to do that unfortunately). I’m not able to experience the game at the same time in the same room as them. I have to watch hours later after they have uploaded to the interwebs.
I just really miss it.
It’s my favourite thing to do with another human being, like I don’t need to go out to a bar or a club or whatever. I’m perfectly happy sitting at home in front of a console under a blanket drinking tea and watching someone play games.
Even thinking about it and knowing that I’m not able to do it for a while, makes me kind of sad.
Until the day that I can sit next to someone and laugh as they die over and over and over at the hands of some super difficult boss, I shall stick with the Game Grumps and Markiplier because those guys are amazing and play the best games! :)
Stay spooky
