I get that it's geeky... in fact, it sounds incredibly geeky now that I type the whole process out. I don't think it's something that would keep me coming back for more after the first time I check it out... but it's still a pretty neat idea.
I guess the closest analogy is like going on vacation while a computer somehow takes all your pictures for you and arranges a slideshow for you at the end complete with speech bubbles and captions.

Except that it's of you and videogame you just spent 20 hours playing. "Oh look honey, here's me shooting that one guy in the face. And here's where I made a decision to have sex with the blue alien. This part is where I died because I spilled mountain dew all over myself and choked on my Cheetos"
