Seriously. When I played games as a kid, we couldn't wait for our friends to die so it would be our turn at the controls. Now it seems like the kids these days would rather watch somebody else on the internet than play the game themselves. I don't get the appeal at all.
On that note, Google bought game-streaming site twitch.tv a month ago for $1 billion (that's billion with a b) in an all-cash deal. I guess I'm not hip or with it anymore since I really don't understand why this is popular.
