I never watch online streaming of other people playing video games.
I've done it once and twice and each time I catch my self asking "why the hell am I watching this person play, when I could be playing!"
I generally watch other people playing a game while I play a game.
I game on my laptop more than my desktop, so I don't have a second monitor to watch from.

Do you watch sports?
Only the major events, superbowl, world cup. Almost never the games leading up to it.
Well the same logic applies, why watch these events when you can go out and play the sport? Lot's of people watch video games for many reasons. When I was gaming more I would watch those better than me to learn from them. Plus once you start watching a particular game and get to know the players it's no different than being an avid bills fan etc. At the end of the day you just have to think "to each their own"
I'm a huge fan of watching Overwatch be played. I don't have the time to actively play it but I can passively watch it while hanging out with my wife and kid. That and for some reason I enjoy watching specific youtubers/streamers playing Minecraft.

I picked up Factorio last night for $20 on steam. It's an early access game.
It's different, still trying to figure it out.
I'm going to pick it up I think. Not that I have much time but I may play it a bit this weekend.
If you do, we can learn together, I just got through the intro, and started a basic "learner" map

Same here. I haven't touched league of legends in months but I'm still up to date on the professional circuit. Typically back when I had time I would game while watching someone else game as well. Dual monitors are good for more than work!

Sounds good. I'll let you know.

Just bought Halcyon 6 LIghtspeed Edition which came with the old Classic version and the soundtrack.

I upgraded my GPU at the weekend - got a cracking deal on 3x EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid cards - should be £595 retail, but they were ex-display (never used in a system) and got them for £400 each! So upgraded my 1080 SuperClocked to the FTW edition and had a rework of my cooling setup (2 new fans put in, and the others rearranged).
Hitting 200+ fps on all the games I've tried so far!
Still spent £1200 on GPU's. . .
and sold 2 plus my old 1080 SC to cover costs. Free upgrade for me

Made it to #4 in PUBG with two kills (one from a grenade) - my best showing yet. Snuck up on a couple people having a firefight and took them both out.

Congrats

@scottalanmiller Thanks - it's a really fun game. Like DayZ but the matches last a max of 30 minutes so it doesn't take forever for the action to start.

If you have a login at GreenMan Gaming, that's a good place to get a discount. They sent me a coupon for 30% off that brought the price down to about $21.

I don't as of yet but I'll have to take a look at that kind of pricing. I had been using cdkeys and normally they do a great job of reducing price but only 5 bucks off pubg at the moment there.
