I took a philosophy class last semester and the professor started the first class by asking "WHAT IS A MAN?!"

You'd better have replied!!!
A video game, not to be confused with an interactive narrative experience (commonly referred to as a "walking simulator"), is an activity for one or more players with the primary goal of inspiring a feeling of enjoyment through interaction.

i can't take anything this dude says seriously because of his voice
does he alter the pitch or speed it up in production or is that what he actually sounds like?
>>320884914
He pitches up his voice because he's embarassed about talking about videogames, and doesnt want people to recognize him IRL.
I've never watched an EC video, because that voice makes me want to physically hurt myself.

Windows Update is a videogame?
What the fuck even happens in Birdman? It got good ratings but the trailers made it look like boring shit.

Will 'instrumental' defenition be sufficient for you, or are you, perhaps, expecting something in Heideggerian style?

What is a game? Professor M. Mouse of Texas, America claims that the word game denotes
"the historical process by which the term game has been characterised and understood".
Easy for you to say, Professor!!
Those of us with a more down-home approach to codifying the various aspects of a
nebulous and unbearable human condition prefer to go by a simpler definition, thus.
A game is some combination of the following indivisable elements:
- skeleton
- red key
- score thing
- magic door
If you see something that looks like a videogame but isn't, you should notify the Police.
>>320888627
Whoa.
>>320885137
If portal didnt have the occasional pit would it cease to be a videogame?
>>320889470
Yes.
>>320885137
Then what do you call interactive software without one?
>>320885724
It's essentially Ghost but with a guy who can summon birds.
