Anyone else find themselves preferring to watch games on Youtube than actually play them?

No, you're just weird, VIM.
That's one of the strangest things I've heard
If anyone has an EA account, Mass Effect 2 is free on Origin right now.
Yep. My 13 years old nephew does it all the time. I think he is a bit of an idiot for doing that though.
I watch games twitch while I play on my other monitor
It's a bit like going to watch PL football, instead of playing yourself in a pub league.

I'm having that.
Actually, sometimes I like to watch 'movies' of games on Youtube, mainly story orientated where the uploader has put all the cutscenes together making a movie, and may include key gameplay moments.
I watched the first two Arkham games this way and also Tomb Raider. On both occasions though I was about to buy the next instalment hence wanted to get up to speed without having to go through and play the previous games.
I watched something similar recently where someone had made the Mass Effect games into a series of movies on YouTube. It's pretty good to watch like that.
Yeah it's a nice way to revisit games that you may have played before, in preparation for the next game. Or you could just go and watch a movie for the entertainment in itself. Games these days are more cinematic than ever. I can imagine something like Uncharted would make a good 'movie'.
A friend of mine is like that. Watching game reviews and playthroughs on youtube, has pretty much taken over his gaming and tv watching.

Just finished the last week of Emerald Nightmare/ToV for a while 
Feels good. Anyone looking forward to Nighthold next week?
Feels good. Anyone looking forward to Nighthold next week?Anybody here play a game called 140? Corking good platformer, a bit different.
Just watched a video of it, I'll be buying that. Love the music.
Yeah, it's quite the experience
And quite challenging in parts! Very hard to put down once you get going.It looks like it would give me some kind of seizure.
I just watched a trailer for it... I'm pretty sure I just experienced the same feelings as people on drugs.
Welcome.
I did think of you as I posted that.Kinda gives me ESJ vibes.
Decent game in the end, albeit a bit short for 5 Euro.
I so want to try, but I know I'll regret it
Installing Half-Life 2 now. Haven't played it in years and since my laptop is kind of crap I thought why not. I'd still regard it as my favourite game ever but we'll see how much I like it these days!
Played it a bit recently on my tablet(having never played it before), and it's a very good game(obviously), holds up incredibly well, not once did I feel like I was playing something out of date, or good for it's time or whatever.
Oddly enough, the controller I was using was a cheapie, that had some fairly notable deadspots in the sticks and pretty crummy feeling buttons, and whilst this made playing Doom 3 a nightmare and something I gave up quickly, I didn't much notice it at all playing Half Life 2. Controlling the car was wonky as feck, so maybe that was a controller issue.
Yep I agree. The physics engine is still incredible and considering it was released in 2004, the graphics are still good.
The car is a bit crap to control in general I feel, although I do like that chapter (s?).
By the way, I used to love this comic made when Garry's mod was first released. It's the adventures of Gordon Frohman, a character that travels the same way Gordon Freeman does, just before which in a fun way "explains" why there are explosive barrels everywhere for instance. It's long but it's a fun read if anyone has missed it and likes the game.

Err yeah annoyingly enough the only 2 comics that works are the first one and the last one, and nothing in between. That sucks was actually going to go through it again.
EDIT: Found it somewhere else! http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2005-05-01

Just found out that one of my fav strategy games "Homeworld" 1&2 came out in a remastered edition in 2015.
I haven't played a game for years, might give this one a go though.

There's some slight changes to the mechanics that a lot of people dislike, but the soundtrack, story, and the thrill of full 360 degree tactical battles remain as fun as ever...
... Oh, and it's bloody gorgeous
I bought it in steam sale a while back and really enjoyed it too considering I never played it before.
Heathens!
Oh man Vato, this isn't even the start, you don't want to know half the games I haven't played.
