Quote:Yes, but not all computer games are video games, as I said a million times already. Computer games are just games that you play on your computer. They can even be simple sound-based games. A Video game is very different from that.
'Synonym' generally means 'same meaning'... maybe with a slightly different undertone, but the same essential meaning.
Such as video vs computer games. They mean the same thing. 'video game' is just a term invented for games played on 'consoles' -- specially designed computers just for games. They are all computer games. Are all computer games video games? I'd say yes... given that videogame is just another way of saying the same thing...
Oh yeah, and I do think that the text counts as video output. Is it a picture? No. But it is video output to a screen... which fits any definition of 'video' I can think of... and it is modified by user input for the purpose of playing a game. That fits 'game'.
'manipulating images'.
Oh man, I am so stupid. Here I am all this time trying to say your defintion isn't always the only definition of the term, when its just fine.

Look at numbers 6 and 7 of the first definition...
Quote:Ask your brother about the endless political debates he has with ABF. He basically just says "You damn liberal, fuck you! You are wrong!" over and over. At least when I argue with ABF we keep the insults to a minimum... I don't think I've ever called him anything more severe than "stupid...
Political debates are serious -- big difference there.
Quote:You sir, are stupid. Very stupid.
I just don't think WW has fights against huge numbers all the time like you say... and anyway whenever you do fight more than two or three guys the enemies are EXTREMELY weak and are just a annoyance, not an actual challenge... not that most anything in that game is. I haven't actually been in danger of dying ever in playing WW... which is so pathetic... give me the challenge of OoT any day (and NOT just the enemies. That's not it. OoT also has more challenge in the environments... for instance, in WW, in many places you can fall... but when you fall you don't die, you just reappear in the doorway of the room having lost a little health. In OoT you'd be hurting, bad... WW just makes it too easy. Easy enemies, forgiving level design, few deadly obstacles in the levels... and, of course, the pushover enemies.
OoT just does it better. Sure, it has fewer enemies... but that isn't a bad thing, not when the alternative is having them be so easy!
Oh yeah, and its not that great to have to duel all the time. Its annoying, actually... especially when the fights aren't hard at all, they're just a bit slower because you have to get around them. Now if the enemies were even remotely challenging, like the sword-fights in OoT, it'd be much better... but they aren't, so its just tedious.
