The Atlantic - video games are dumb
An excerpt from an article in The Atlantic...
THERE’S NO NICE way to say this, but it needs to be said: video games, with very few exceptions, are dumb. And they’re not just dumb in the gleeful, winking way that a big Hollywood movie is dumb; they’re dumb in the puerile, excruciatingly serious way that a grown man in latex elf ears reciting an epic poem about Gandalf is dumb.
I don't think I need to tell you how wrong this statement is. It's very easy to prove this statement incorrect. On top of that, the author of this article seems to enjoy picking on those that are dedicated to things they enjoy, like the imaginary Lord of the Rings fan above.
When you can't find any joy in your own life, you mock others for what they like and bring them down!
