Football = Legend of Zelda?

Another thing that bothers me: commonly people have this misconception (most likely created by the media) that Video Games and Sports are two completely different things. Let's compare them shall we?

Video Games:

• You use a controller or other similar device
• There is a main objective in order to win
• It's a game.

Sports:

• You use a racket/cleats/balls/whatever
• There is a main objective in order to win
• ...It's a game

So as you can see, the only difference between a game of basketball and pokemon--is the method in which they are played. So stop calling someone a nerd because they like to kill zombies on Resident Evil---I laugh at people who do that; especially the ones who turn around and go watch people kicking a ball around a field of grass for entertainment.
