Noun
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use. The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer games often needed a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to buy a separate joystick with at least one button. Many modern computer games allow, or even require, the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. Video games typically also use other ways of providing interaction and information to the player. Audio is almost universal, using sound reproduction devices, such as speakers and headphones. But other feedback may come via haptic peripherals, such as vibration force feedback. From Wikipedia under the

I have a Sony 40 inch xbr 4 tv. I just want to know if it is normal for the back of the tv to get warm or hot after playing video games or watching an a blue ray movie. Will playing video games shorten the lifespan of the tv? How long would a tv like mine last when all I use it for is video games? Any ideas,concepts or theories?

But it adds the equal amount of wear as watching TV would. HDTVs are typically rated to some number of hours (a Sony of that class I would guess 60,000 - 80,000; which is 20-25 years at 8 hours a day 365 days a year). But if you have the brightness or contrast cranked really high that can add additional wear and tear to your set. So I would make sure to optimize my set to also help reduce some of the wear and tear on it. Lastly, make sure its well ventilated. You don't want it right up against a wall and you don't want any vents/fans it has blocked. Make sure its allowed to breathe and that there's room for the heat it dissipates to move away… [cont.] Answered by jf - Wed May 6 19:34:24 2009 Does anyone know any video games similar to the Persona series?
Q. I am looking for video games where not only you fight and explore you also go to school. I really enjoy both Persona 3 and 4 along with Mana Khemia: Student Alliance. I am planning on getting Class of Heroes(PSP) and Magician's Quest(DS) later this year. I have pretty much every game system, so any suggestions would be great. :) Asked by Lindsey - Sun Apr 5 12:58:27 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Disgaea 3 for PS3 [An AWESOME game, although you might want to play the previous, you don't have to because the story is different]. Thats about the only GOOD game i can tell you about that you can do lots of fighting, lvling, and you will be in school at the same time [lol Your school is your evil Headquarters]. But as far as relationships go, Shin Megami tensei is much more top of the line. This game is just a suggestion, but I hope it was a start. Did I mention this game is outright hilarious :P? Anyways, Magicians quest has some really really good Reviews compared to Class of Heroes. Lots of good stuff about Magicians Quest, so you should probably do just a tad more research on it.
