The key word there being games. Are they not video games? Are they now somehow classified as another form of entertainment simply because you have said so.

This post made me laugh. That would be fine but I was drinking milk and now my nose burns. Why does this bother you so much ghost? You think video games don't need a story, fair enough, several of us happen to disagree with you. Why do you feel the necessity to fight it out? Do you really have something to prove? Your above quoted "games" argument is funny, because you are skirting the comment Cassidy made. You listed all the kind of games that don't need extra back story, sports games come with a story built in, John Madden is a real man, as are the players in the game. There is your story, pretty automatic. And like Cassidy said, tetris is in the reflex/puzzle genre, most games are putting you into another world, tetris is just a game plain and simple. There is a big difference between checkers and Halo. Halo wouldn't make any sense without a story line, and checker would be retarded if you tried to make a story line. You are using fool's logic to try to prove your point. You don't have to defend your point of view, you have every right to it. Why are you being so antagonistic? Every time somebody post a point of view that disagrees with yours you start littering your posts with antagonistic remarks. I know you are going to say that you were not being antagonistic so I will just give a few quotes:

"Give me a break, were discussing video games you might wanna get that checked out if your being even slightly serious."

"if people get emotional over video games IMO thats a little nutty" (If IMO means "in my humble opinion", it sure as hell doesn't seem humble to me.)

Just to list a couple.
