yes in the past video games were basically toys. but they have grown into a entertainment medium capable of story telling on par with moves. although in my opinion games can be more powerful then moves. with a move your a passive observer but with games your activity participating in the story. all and all games are no longer toys there just a form of entertainment like moves or TV.

Stop replying, Skizz.
You have nothing to say.

[glow=maroon,2,300] Anyways to get into a semi debate mode.
I believe that there are times where the premise of "gaming better than cinematics" can be a bad thing in the long run, mostly because those times usually keep the person out of most human contact for a time. (Too many "Times" in that sentence.)
Take WoW players for example. [/glow]

although one could argue that people are still in contact with other people over the internet especially in the case of WoW. granted it's indirect contact but they are still socializing with other people.

[glow=red,2,300] While it is true that you talk to people while playing the game, about 8 of the 10 times you'd run into someone like the shooter at Virginia Tech.
When compared to talking to people in real life.....there really isn't that much difference. c:
Anyways when interacting in real life you tend to make more of a connection to with who ever you talk to than when you are online.
I've experimented with being on both sides of the spectrum, and one drove people away (much to my amusement.) and the other attracted others. [/glow]

A lot of people take things to heart online, when you really didn't mean it.
Unless you're talking into a headset and know the guy.

Actually, I think it depends on the person. I'm a lot closer to the people I talk to online than to anyone I ever knew IRL, aside from my family. And I know that if I met the people I know online, offline I wouldn't know them as well. I open up a lot easier and a lot more while online. It's easier for me to talk when I don't have to see the person face to face since I'm actually a very shy person.[/b]

[glow=maroon,2,300] I prefer a personal connetion achieved from being face to face with a person.
Online is alright if you are talking to someone that's far from you. [/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300] I guess the thing I can respect about online is that you get to show the side of you that you aren't allowed to show in real life.
....However on the other hand, FIND BETTER FRIENDS WHO DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY CAUSE YOU'RE THEIR FRIEND!!!!!!!!!! [/glow]
