I mean, seriously. You are actually trying to convince me that a dictionary definition is false???? You must be insane!
You see... dictionaries don't work that way. All of the defintions are valid for that form of the word...
Oh yeah, and textbooks are wrong or omit some information often enough to make me not take them as a perfect source.
Take a look for yourself: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=video%20game
The first definition is the one that I stated, and the second definition is "a game played against a computer", which does not conflict the first definition and supports my claim. You lost this one, ABF. Just admit it before it's too late.
And yes, my game design text books are more authoritative on the subject than l'il 'ole you, believe it or not. People will far more knowledge on video games than you wrote these books.
Quote:I don't remember that, I only remember the parts where you fight maybe as many as 6 at a time but they keep respawning, making it seem like more. I don't recall ever fighting 12 enemies at once (actually in combat; I'm sure 12 enemies have been on the screen in some fashion at the same time, however).
Then you have a very selective memory. Darunia-itis, as I like to call it.
