A form of electronic interactive entertainment, one that has a considerable amount of history, and one that has gained an incredible amount of world-wide recognition over the years.
However, despite their technilogical evolution, world-wide recognition, and staggering age-spanning consumer rates, video games are still subjected to a variety of stereotypes.
These stereotypes are maintained by those who still harness the mindset that "all" video games are stupid, childish, time-wasting, mentally unbeneficial, or anyone who plays video games is somehow incapable of having a life.
On the contrary, video games in many ways can be more mentally beneficial than any other form of entertainment.
Specific video games can provide god-like creative abilities, have educational values, reduce stress levels, improve hand-eye coordination, stimulate intellectual properties, even make exercise enjoyable thanks to evolved control schemes "Wii Fit".
Delving into the immersive qualities of video games, video games can have very unique relationships with story-telling due to their interactivity.
These include altering the course of the story based on choices, playing as different characters, having multiple endings e.t.c
I could go on forever.
Video games do not only offer entertainment, but unmatched immersive storytelling experiences.

Carlton: Video games are stupid.
Jake: No, that’s just a stereotype, and by today’s standards you couldn't be more false.

Get the Video vamp mug.A pissed-off, geeky video game enthusiast who hosts his own series of game reviews on YouTube, ScrewAttack.com and GameTrailers.com. Formerly known as the Angry Nintendo Nerd, he reviews some of the most godawful games ever made (usually games on the NES) in an over-the-top manner. He is known for his New Jersey accent, his heavy drinking (usually drinks Rolling Rock and Yuengling beer) and his filthy mouth. The Nerd uses ridiculous amounts of profanity in his videos, to the point where he makes up his own words ("fuckfarts", "fuckballs"), and sums up the games with phrases such as "What a shitload of fuck," or "It sucks monkey fuck!!!!!" Usually he also describes some horrific thing he would rather do than play the games, such as "drink diarrhea vomited out of a buffalo's anus", in order to let the viewer know just how bad the game is. Some of the games/systems/accessories are destroyed in a comical manner (flushed down the toilet, stuck in the toaster, etc.) after he is done reviewing them. The series also sometimes has "special guests" such as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Spider-Man, Bugs Bunny, Michael Myers and Leatherface, most of whom have the living shit beaten out of them by the Nerd. Some examples of games that the Nerd has reviewed are:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES)
The Karate Kid (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Back To The Future (NES)
