[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 4290655, member: 151"] I'm not trying to change your feelings. It's your opinion and perfectly valid. I'm just explaining the disconnect. That you aren't actually familiar with video-games makes me wonder why you choose to use the term. I mean, it seems like an odd thing to say in that context. Especially when you're discussing the term with folks who are very familiar with video games and don't understand why you choose that term. By way of comparison, Delta shows off some valid points as to why he considers it 'video-gamey'. I may or may not agree with all his points, but they actually reference video games and I can see why he would make the comment. If I said 'D&D is like Major League Sports' and someone who watched ESPN every waking moment asked me how, he'd be confused if my reply was 'well, I don't really know anything about the rules of football, baseball, bmx racing, snowboarding or the rally-car racing, but that's just how it feels to me.' Because the disconnect is that it's an all-inclusive statement that includes such wildly diverse sports that it wouldn't make sense to him. [/QUOTE]
