I personally find it more interesting to see someone's first play-through of a game, watching someone who knows a game through and through is boring because you know what to expect
I've watched Joel, Vinny and Chuggaaconroy play through Earthbound, and of the three, Vinny's play-through was the most amusing because of how it was a mostly blind play-through, then Chuggaaconroy's play-through because his LPs are more like detailed walkthroughs with some humorous commentary and happenings, and lastly Joel's because he had already played Earthbound before, so he knew what to expect, what to do, etc, so gameplay-wise it was fairly boring, so i was just enjoying the commentary for the most part
Also, you have to remember that you weren't always the king of video games either and were probably at one point stumbling around aimlessly trying to figure out a fairly easy puzzle as well
