Hilarious! And he's completely right, watching other people playing games rather than playing them yourself is silly.

I disagree. There are lot of things people watch that they could do themselves. Sports being the most obvious example. 

Watching sports and watching people play video games are completely different things. By your logic I should be able to buy an Eagles helmut and go play for them. Or maybe I can get a Flyers jersey and jump on the bench and go in. Watcing the Eagles or Flyers or Sixers or Phillies is way different than playing those sports with my friends in real life.

Watching someone play Halo is exactly the same as me playing Halo myself.
