Is it just me, or is this stuff far more interesting to watch in the third-person? I understand the appeal of seeing through the eyes of the person running but it often winds up just being disorienting as I become acutely aware of the disconnect between what I’m seeing and my lazy butt being parked in a seat. Jiggling head cams don’t help much either. Still impressive, though.
