Why do people watch other people cook food on TV? I just don't get that logic.
Why do people watch other people cook? I just don't get that logic.
It's like watching someone else eat
>>340425686
Why do people rebut arguments made by other people? I just don't get that logic.
>>340425532
Because music is nice to listen to, and helps set a good mood. You can't have music without somebody playing it or making it.
>why do people live in houses other people built? I just don't get that logic
That's your dumb fucking ass argument there. And doesn't even touch on what OP posted.
It's as retarded as watching somebody else watch a movie (no joke there is shit like that out there, reaction vids, etc.)
>>340425629
Because you can't just download a woman and have sex with her whenever you want with ease

What the fuck did you just fucking say about MY community??? Fuck you Kimmel maybe if you were actually relevant you could have a good opinion if your shows ratings were actually semi decent, but they're not. Cause everyone knows your show is failing, we have the statistics right here and they're not looking good at all. Like fuck you, how about you go watch some football? Just fucking die of cancer, because you're messing around with the wrong fucking community

You can go out and rape any woman you want for free. Sure it's illegal but so are pirating games for free.
>>340425732
Because that actually shows you how to prepare food while letsplays are useless.
I watch let's plays or walkthroughs for 3 main reasons.
1. I don't plan on playing the game myself but am curious as to what it's like. Maybe it'll change my mind.
2. I've played the game before and want to see what others did differently or if I've missed something.
3. It's not out yet in my country and I can't stop spoiling myself.
>>340426287
That was quick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRQ0VxMVnGU
Because it makes them feel like they've played the game themselves.

Who does? Who the fuck watches TV anymore?
I don't even watch cooking shows because I don't need to, but that at the least is understandable because you are LEARNING something. There's nothing to be learned from watching little jimmy pull a 520 noscope. It's not even fucking impressive because who gives a shit about people pulling off skilled thumb twiddling? Only aspies who have never done a physically demanding thing in their life, that's who.

Why do people watch other people report the news and give them a brainwashing instead of reading the news and forming their own opinion

Why don't people listen to other people listen to music? I just don't get that logic.
>>340427807
Well if you can bring anything to the table to show that, little jimmy, then sure. Otherwise it's just a faggy "ur dum" comment. But I guess that's all that should be expected from dumb illiterate faggots like you.
Why do people watch other people play sports?
Why do people watch other people have sex?
Why do people watch other people win money?
Like OP, I just don't get it. Maybe we're a personality type that doesn't get vicarious pleasure?
Why is it always sports tards terrified of vidya?
Why do people watch other people cook? I don't get the logic
>>340426953
Just play the game yourself. People don't edit videos so it's takes the same amount of time to watch as it does to play.
>>340424484
I occasionally like seeing others reactions to something I enjoyed, like big twists, character death, etc. Otherwise I don't really give a shit unless if they're EXTREMELY good at a game.
>>340428057
Like playing video games it is just as easy to become a pro athlete or porn star.
"It's just like watching professional sports!"

So you can make that food yourself?
Why do people watch other people game video plays? I just don't get that logic.
Why do people watch other people doing stuff? I mean why don't they just do it themselves??!? It makes no sense
>>340425686
Why?
>>340424484
Actually all of you have a point.
The world has become too lazy, mental and physical.
Why pay hundred of millions to watch professionals do something, when we should be out doing it ourselves.
The only way i can see why other people watch professionals is to get tips, and improve.
Why do people watch other people watch other people watch other people? I just don't get that logic.
Why do people shoot other people before throwing them out of a plane? I just don't get that logic.
There's zero logic involved in doing activities you enjoy
>>340426104
Don't remind me :(
Theres no commercials.
Thats my answer.
>>340428705
But cooking is something you can do anytime, even if you just have access to a microwave you can cook something. Why then, if you have the ability to do so would you watch someone else do it?
It's not about the game, it's about who's playing the game.
>>340428057
>Why do people watch other people have sex?
I pretend I am the guy. Do people pretend they are playing video games? Why not just buy the video game and play it? It's not like sex where you can't have it.
Games are joggable to watch as well as to play.
>>340428816
to play sports/music competently require hours of time spent practising, requiring large amounts of money on equipment/training and also require places to play. Any game can be easily pirated or bought cheap and takes a few minutes before you understand it and can start enjoying it
>>340424484
I had a friend who would buy the newest games and then watch me play them; Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero come to mind for the GameCube.
I think it was just because he sucked at vidya, liked hanging out with me and maybe hoped he could pick up some tips/strats.
Who knows?
The point is,I got to play the newest vidya for free.
YOLO
>>340429047
I agree. I don't get why people watch cooking shows, they are fucking boring.
This thread again
>>340429047
Well anon, in order for you to learn something to do it well.
Meanwhile videogames are explicitly made for people to PLAY and then get better via PLAYING. If you are researching ways to get better at videogames other than physically playing them, you are either playing a shitty game or are a shitty aspie yourself.
Why do people do things that they enjoy? Why don't I understand the appeal?
>>340424484
1. Because I don't have the game and I wanna watch some raw footage from someone around my skill level to see what I should expect.
2. I find the let's player entertaining/interesting/buzzwords and I enjoy what they add to the game.
3. I've played the game and I wanna see other peoples play styles
4. Some games are just straight up more interesting to watch other people play than to play yourself.
>>340429047
Cooking shows are just like video recipes for things a little more complicated then cooking hot pockets. They also use editing so you aren't watching things in the oven for 45 minutes at 350
reminder
>LE RONG COMMUNITY
>>340429464
No sorry friend, but cooking is for to feed yourself and the only way you'll get better at it is to do it yourself. If you need to watch someone cook to learn how than you're either a retard or a child
>>340424484

People watch professional sport players. I can understand people watching e-sports or speedruns. Let's play with literally braindead retarded hosts who need a guide to complete the tutorial is not exactly the same.
>>340430291
>and the only way you'll get better at it is to do it yourself
Yeah, not by mimicry of people who have spent decades perfecting techniques at all.
Best to start from scratch right? Do you own an oven? Too bad, you're a retard or a child if you can't re-invent fire.
>>340425408
Watching letsplays is the equivalent of watching a recording of five guys kick a ball around, not competitive sports.
>>340430291
Watch the show/read the recipe before you fuck everything up on your first try.
>>340430347
>I can understand people watching e-sports or speedruns.
Same. I can understand cripples in the psych ward too.
>>340430291
it's the same thing as a cookbook only it's on tv. stop acting so autistic.
>>340428296
>People don't edit videos so it's takes the same amount of time to watch as it does to play.
Who the fuck do you watch?
I hate to be that faggot, but you guys realize his whole "why do people watch this lol?" thing was a promotional thing, right? For the youtube streaming gaming thing, forget if it has/had a name since I'm not big on all of that.
Kimmel is pretty cool but he whores out for promoting shit all of the time and does it with gimmicks like that. I know, I know, tv show based around promoting shit is promoting shit.
Getting threads like this is exactly what the point of the exercise was.
>>340430596
Funnily enough 5 guys kicking a ball around is still more complicated than any e-sport.
>>340430118
lol holy shit, not even people who actually play video games get this defensive.
>>340424484
I watch the people that I "get", and depending on who, it's either just for banter loosely tied to video games, or interesting discussions in the moment about the video game.
I don't get why people don't get people listening/watching people do shit they like.
But you do get it, it's just another one of these threads.
Why do people spend more time talking about games then playing them?
>>340428978

That's the whole thing behind live streaming. Watching it real time

Pretty much. Watching anyone do anything means that you are 100% a retard. Don't see why it's so hard to understand. Are you a retard?
>>340430726
So why don't you just get a cookbook? Why would you just watch someone else do it? I don't get it
>>340431931
Not him and i dont watch cooking shows because I think they are boring.
But you are retarded.
Seeing someone do something, and see the process, is a whole another step from looking at words on a cookbook

Man, what the fuck happened to maddox? He used to be based.
>>340424484
Because kids are growing up with let's plays, and instead of playing video games they're watching them. Essentially video games are going to die soon, and it's because of this.
>>340425408
>Sports
Unless there is a TV channel in which five guys do nothing but yell fuck at each other all day while performing a sport badly, this is a false equivalence.
>>340432402
>Unless there is a TV channel in which five guys do nothing but yell fuck at each other all day while performing a sport badly, this is a false equivalence.
Not really, you are both watching something intended to be played by yourself.
>>340432786
>Not really
Are you saying a professional sports team competing at the highest level is the same thing as Rooster Teeth yelling fuck into a microphone for 40 minutes while fucking up a game 20 times?
>>340429279
So?
Why do people listen to music? Instruments are meant to be played, why would you ever listen to someone else play one when you can just do it yourself?
>>340424484
I usually don't watch it directly, but rather have it on as background noise like I would with any other TV show. Makes me feel less lonely.
>>340433069
No but your relation to both is the same
>>340433740
this pretty much
Because no other visual media can hold my attention anymore.
I can strangely pay attention when it's video games, but give me Hannibal, the newest Avengers, John Wick, etc, and I just get fucking antsy.

This argument has absolutely no merit unless you're watching tourney pros. Otherwise it's like watching some random assholes throw around a football in their backyard.
>>340424484
Because gaming culture has always been full of mentally and socially inept retards.
>>340424484
games require skill. not everyone has the skill. therefore people with no skill enjoy watching others with skill. same with literally every single activity in existence
>>340430118
Who actually are these people? I've seen some pathetic stuff on /v/, but none of that comes even close to this shit.
>>340424484
My cousin and I used to watch each other play Resident Evil and take turns. I seriously don't think that it's that foreign of a concept to watch others play a game.
This thread is one of those threads that you only realise is fucking dumb and redundant once you've scrolled through the whole thing.
>>340429279
>Any game can be easily pirated or bought cheap and takes a few minutes before you understand it and can start enjoying it
Try telling that to someone over the age of 30 who has never touched a video game in their life. They'll justify quitting by saying "it's a waste of time and I don't have time for this", but so is getting good at sports or a musical instrument.
some are alright
