Video games that are fun to watch

Share something about watching another person playing video games.

I recently watched one of my friends play Slenderman. She probably won't be sleeping anytime soon.

Seriously, I can't think of anything more boring than watching someone else play a video game.

I thought about it for a while trying to answer the question here, but... I got nothing.
When you play a game you have a mental image of where you are, where you're going and what you're going to do next.
When you're just watching, you have none of that and can't predict what the player is going to do, or move or turn or whatever, and it just quickly (for me at least) becomes boring to watch.
I find my hands start twitching wanting to control the action, and of course that doesn't seem to work very well.

I've watched some of Angra's livestreams of various games, and some livestreams of Maplestory, and usually find myself falling asleep.

I love watching Mangaminx do LPs on YT, since she does mostly horror games. Only games worthy of watching imo.
