Video Games Are Like Dinner

On the topic of video games and blogs, I will give URL shout-outs to two blogs that inspired me to start one:

Now for the real topic: video games are like dinner. During my daily set of random cognitive thinking, I compared video games to parts of a meal in my head. No game is perfect, but they all have some degree of excitement and a random factor. In list format, I will list the types of games by these two factors. I am no expert and will not post images because I don't know how and don't feel like it.

1. Potatoes - Average Games
These are too countless to... count. They are the games that you randomly get as gifts and play for a few hours and then stop. When I eat a meal, I rarely finish my potatoes because they're so simple and boring. Excitement: medium.

2. Meat - Long Games
Most of these are RPGs, video games that involve doing easy, single-button tasks for tens of hours with the occasional puzzle. At first, these are exciting, but they usually drag on when you realize you've been doing the same thing over and over again. When eating meat (not best-quality), you enjoy the softness and flavor, but then you notice the fat or difficult-to-eat parts and take a minute for one bite. Excitement: strong at first, steadily decreases.

3. Vegetables - Educational Games
These are boring, yet somehow good for you. Just as parents tell their children "eat your veggies," they say "play the Mr. Math game," and for a good reason. Excitement: low.

4. Candy/Dessert - Action Games
Examples of these games are very popular. Whether shooting *insert enemy here* or otherwise attacking *insert enemy here* or solving *insert puzzle here*, you are always doing something or moving around for a few minutes to go do something. However, these games can lead to some degree of obsession, which leads the player into doing the same tasks repetitively. Thanks to these games, you're reading this. Excitement: strong until some point, then decreases quickly.

Again, I am no expert. This has been a random rambling by the man behind the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MrXman49O .
