The One Thousand Most Annoying Things Ever!!

[A Black Falcon]

This is just so stupid.

As I've said all along... I see no reason to say anything other than what I have been saying all along: that the experience of using the product, not the form the product is in, is what matters. So if two games play the same (or very similar), they are categorized the same (or very similar). It is just insane to say that two games that play the same aren't in the same category!

No it couldn't. Then it would not be a video game!

Yes it would!

Linear notes are the essay and notes that you see in certain DVDs.

You mean like the extra documentaries or something?

Video games cannot be video games without actual images, just like movies cannot be movies without moving pictures! End of debate! You've shown how insane you are, so let's move on to something else!

What about something displayed on a movie screen, with a movie projector, from a movie reel, in a theater, but it had just text on the screen, not pictures?

I'd say its still a movie... though its a bit more iffy than the games are. After all, reading a screen in a movie is quite different from just watching, while in games the experience is far more similar... in the genres in question, the graphical game experience is very similar to the non-graphical one. Sure, there are now pictures, but you still read a lot and in these genres (adventure, RPG) deal with reading lots of text...
