they are sarcastic examples, you play video games to have fun not simply to get away from reality. That may or may not involve doing something you can simply go out and do or not. For me if it involves skill, solving puzzles, or just having fun I will play it whether it's tetris or slaughtering people.

completely agree

it doesnt really matter what stupid thing your doing in a game, as long as its fun and entertaining.

like mario world for example, you use a short fat plumber, you go through pipes, jump on evil mushrooms and turtles, eat mushrooms and flowers to gain power, just to save a princess that you never really got to meet in the first place.. on paper that sounds really stupid, like something a elementary student would come up with while dozing off at a boring class. but they made it fun. no offense btw mario fans.

edit: yeah i didnt get the minesweeping part.. what were you trying to prove exactly?

"BTW if you're gonna talk about convenience, getting out a deck of cards and playing solitare is much more convenient than gathering friends and trying to play baseball, boxing, tennis, bowling, or golf."

and that is why wii sports is popular, your preaching to the wrong guy here...

anyway solitaire is a solitary game, its a game you usually play alone when your bored or just trying to past the time.
plus playing it on a computer doesnt lessen the experience, so you get as much fun playing on the computer without doint the boring stuff of the game, like moving cards around.

wii sports? i would rather play tennis or bowling in real life rather than on my wii, i dont really compare the 2 btw, wii tennis is a game, nothing more, it doesnt really capture the true feel of a tennis match, but it is fun in its own way..... and a great way for people who dont play sports to feel like their playing sports... i guess
