I have begun to ponder the broad definition we give the interactive software we are all so passionate about, but can we do better? '

I was interviewing for an internship position at an accounting firm (Still in college), and the recruiter asked me, "So what do you do for fun", I've always loved video games, and is one of my favorite pastimes, but I was adamant at explaining to her that I play "Video Games" for fun; perhaps due to a misguided perception of what society deems is the demographic of "video games": a "time waster" for teenagers, at least from my experience.

But now, as I am enjoying Bioshock: Infinite, and soon to be enjoying Metro: Last Light and The Last of Us, i got to thinking, when can we transcend these experiences from just "video games", and the negative Stigma that may arise from this title for our medium? How can I explain to an interviewer that these are not just "video games" but artforms.

There is no way you can convince me that Bioshock: Infinite is not a piece of art: the imagery, the gameplay, the story, the dialouge, the setting all work in unison to create one of the most astonishing visual achievements I've ever experienced.

There is no "game" to these "games", no discernible method of "winning"  they are pathways and portals to other worlds created by passionate people to be explored and enjoyed. 

Is the term "video game" sufficient for us in our generation of  Infinite, Metro: Last Light, Journey, Mass Effect, The Last of Us, etc? or can we transcend the medium somehow?

I like xbox live gold a lot. I can easily see how some people are upset at having to pay for it, but it definitely has it's advantages. I don't mind paying $50 or less a year, because it's worth it to me.

And if people don't think Sony will have a subscription based system very similar to xbl gold, they are in denial.

ALL I play online is Call of Duty Black Ops 2 angelcb

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"] Yer 360's are manufactured in Japan... :roll: Enjoying watching people play a console? :|FragTycoon

It's made even more amusing by the fact that all these companies are multinational corporations.

Thats what leads me to believe that a lot (not all) of the 360 fanboys are misled into false sense of xenophobia or simply cant afford another console so feel the need to justify their perches.

Truth is that both consoles are mostly manufactured in China and Taiwan. Just like most American car parts are manufactured (specifically engine blocks) in Mexico with final assembly in factories all over the world.

You can buy a PS3 and still be helping an American game developer, Sony employee, stock holder and retail outlet just as much as buying a 360.

The average persons misunderstanding of world economics knows no bounds.

Hard to say. The 360 gets most of my gaming time, due to the multiplats and exclusives, and I generally prefer the system. However, I really enjoy the PS3 exclusives, as well.

A Time Machine. So I can go forward to March and get Bioshock Infinite.

Sounds like someone has a slow internet connection. 300MB would take me about 5 minutes, which is definitely bareable
