And then you go on and make points about things that I never said anything about. Yes, CYOA is a book with branching storylines, or an "adventure book" if you want to call it that. But a video game if you read on a computer screen? NO! This is exactly how this whole conversation happened:

You: Are you denying that CYOA books are adventure games in book form?
Me:
You: Now you're saying that text cannot describe pictures? Are you nuts?
Me:
