Also, video game shouldn't and is not one of those hard words to define like fun. Video game is a fairly straightforward idea and an easy one to grasp. Why so many people think things like Brain Age and the likes are non-games just because it isn't fun to them it beyond me, but then again, I generally put those people on the same level as bricks or perhaps algae on intelligence level. It's my firm belief that merely being in the presence of those people can actually drain your intelligence.

some is is bitter.

Its my belief being around people that think brainage is a game would put me to sleep form boredom.

 lol !!!

  that's highly likely.  you won't enjoy conversations with me and my friends, where they typically go from "hi" to "here's this brainteaser i heard" in 2 seconds.  99.99% of the population i'll end up doing "small talk", which is extremely boring and only do so out of social and networking reasons.

  hey, people have different experiences.  it's impossible for somebody to be buddy-buddy with everybody.
