the cognitive dissonance of someone who will say video games are a “stupid waste of time”, then in the same breath say they look forward to mindlessly watching something instead.
I think the sentiment might be that video games are a stupid waste of time because most of them have very low artistic merit and very poor writing when compared to novels or movies. I love video games and I’ll admit there are like 12 games ever with good writing.
Fair, I could understand that. I was taking the perspective that any sort of interactive play would be less of a waste than just watching video. To each their own tho, I wasn’t trying to yuck someone’s yum, and I apologize for doing so.
I personally do enjoy a good cut scene and tend to play games on the easier difficulty because I do like the interactive movie aspect of some games. I’m in it because I like video and video games.

Wrong.
Care to elaborate?
K, sorry. Was partaking i a 90 minute cutscene in Metal Gear Solid 4. Couldn’t speak and ruin the moment.
You’re wrong because watching video isn’t inherently mindless.
Absolutely not.
