This, for instance, is not (Gaming)

You had to do NONE of the mapping and figuring out where to go in that game. The person you watched did that himself. If you think that someone else figuring out where to go and how to get there versus YOU doing it is an insignificant difference, you are completely and utterly wrong.

It's pretty insignificant. Making choices like throwing crap in the lake and cleaning up litter, on the other hand, really make a difference, I think. And choosing where to take your photos. Little things personalize the experience, but I don't think the orienteering is in any way significant.

The stars are wrong, there's no way to tell where you're going by the sun, other methods don't work. You must use the map and compass, and those do basically nothing. They just funnel you into hallways disguised as outdoors. It's like saying a significant part of the trip to Florida is reading your TripTik.

I think we agree for different reasons, and to what degree. I think Narc got 85% of the experience.
