A form of entertainment, involving fictional characters, fictional storylines, and, most usually, guns. Video games can be very fun, but too much use of a console or game can turn a gamer into a wordnerd/word. Video games are played on things called consoles, with things called controllers. The games used to be stored on cartridges, but thanks to today's technology, they are stored on discs.
Examples of classic video games are: Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Final Fantasy, Sonic, and HALO. Halo more than anything.

something that makes you plant your buttocks on a comfortable couch and move thumbs violently around a controller- usually with at least one joystick.

A form of entertainment for people who have no interest in life. It is designed to brainwash little boys into thinking video games are in real life. So they now have desires to kill, run over, or shoot people in real life. And for those grown ups, people like video games because they have no interest in life and will never get a girlfriend. They play this "video game" 24/7 and will never have time for their real life situations. These people can be called nerds, low lifes, or just a plain simple "get a fucking life you fuckimg fag!! All you do is sit around and play video games!! Get a girlfriend or something". This situation can be caused to mainly the male gender of ages 12 to maybe until they die. This is very common in the United States. Many people of the male gender have died because of video games. This is why we mostly have more females in this country (which is not bad just saying).
Low life: hey what are you going to get for christmas?
Normal Guy: I'm just getting clothes
Low life: awww that sucks I'm getting the gta 4 and gears of war. Im also getting a new headseat for my xbox 360 amd new controllers to play with my buddies (more low lifes)
Normal guy:what do you mean? I actually want clothes so i can impress my girlfriend. Unlike you, faggot, i actually have a life!! I dont stay in my house playing video games, i go places and hang out with my friends!!
*walks away*
Low life: friends, who needs them?

A fun activity that has been around for a very long time that is encompasses a very large audience and has many different genres.
So many people like them because instead of just watching some generic named hero do something that you’ve seen a thousand times. You get to be the hero, you make decisions, you progress the story, this then gives opportunity to so many things. Because now you can do these amazing acts and feel power and satisfaction.
Not to mention its an incredibly lucrative business opportunity, look at companies like Ubisoft and Bethesda, they are multi billion dollar companies and they made so much money just from making video games
This opportunity for creativity gives developers a lot of options and because they can include so much and because theres so many things they can do developers can add there own charm, There own ideas
But some people don’t get video games, they don’t understand what they are and only look at the surface and make borderline retarded connections. This lead to video games also being a scapegoat, people (more specifically soccer moms) have blamed so many things on this fun activity that its scared some people away from this genre of entertainment.

Karen : Video games cause violence
Doom fan: A lot of studies have said they don't, its just a stupid false scapegoat, I play a super violent game called doom and you don't see me ripping peoples heads off.
