I, a 37 year old man, had heard of infamous 2nd son but don't have a playstation. So I googled a let's play just to check out the gameplay, intending to watch 5 minutes, and ended up watching pewdiepie play the whole game. Be as disdainful and insulting all you want, but I found him funny, charming and thoroughly enjoyable, it let me watch the story like a film, but with a touch of the camaraderie of playing a game with friends like I used to when I was younger.

It's worth noting that the Let's Play folks actually add something to the experience. I'm not much of a watcher, but I started watching vegeta311 play Dark Souls on youtube, and before I knew it, 6 hours had passed. I was amazed at the guy's seemingly-casual skill - I'd sunk many hours into Dark Souls, but it was the skill I was watching for, not the game.
