Why is it so much more amusing to watch someone play a video game than it is to play the game itself? (kbin.social)

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

Never done done this myself, can anyone recommend a good non-RTS strategy gamer they think worth checking out and watching? I'm very much a TBS strategy (or at least pauseable), simulation, citybuilder type gamer.

But in the spirit of exploration, I'll also take RTS watching recommendations actually.

On a related note, have you heard of the Three Moves Ahead podcast? It seems like it'd be right up your alley: it's entirely focused on strategy games
