A form of electronic interactive entertainment, one that has a considerable amount of history, and one that has gained an incredible amount of world-wide recognition over the years.
However, despite their technilogical evolution, world-wide recognition, and staggering age-spanning consumer rates, video games are still subjected to a variety of stereotypes.
These stereotypes are maintained by those who still harness the mindset that "all" video games are stupid, childish, time-wasting, mentally unbeneficial, or anyone who plays video games is somehow incapable of having a life.
On the contrary, video games in many ways can be more mentally beneficial than any other form of entertainment.
Specific video games can provide god-like creative abilities, have educational values, reduce stress levels, improve hand-eye coordination, stimulate intellectual properties, even make exercise enjoyable thanks to evolved control schemes "Wii Fit".
Delving into the immersive qualities of video games, video games can have very unique relationships with story-telling due to their interactivity.
These include altering the course of the story based on choices, playing as different characters, having multiple endings e.t.c
I could go on forever.
Video games do not only offer entertainment, but unmatched immersive storytelling experiences.

A phrase typically associated with people who have gardens that reek of egg!
Cara has eggy game.
Considered to be a MLG-Gaming pro, he is the bomb diggity at Minecraft, and he is a famous youtuber with thousands of subscribers. His specialty in Minecraft is PVP, it was said that he never lost a pvp battle. Usually if he is losing however he just flies away so they can't get him.
Hawkeye Gaming is notorious for not being able to craft an axe. How sad. But his MLG self, people generally don't care about his cons, but look up to his benefits. For example: His unbelievable PVP skills. He's even done a 360 no-scope barrel roll triple flip to take down 6 opponents at once.
Rather than that, he is very, very popular and fans are usually always flocking around him on a daily basis. Many fans are obsessive and would even kill for Hawkeye's signature. Rather than playing Minecraft, he said he plays other games like Day Z and Call of Duty. However there is no actual evidence that he really plays those games, because the only videos he post are Minecraft videos. Other nicknames for Hawkeye Gaming were found to be: Cam, and Poseidon. He has not specified in his videos why he calls himself Hawkeye.
Fan 1: Hey man, did you see Hawkeye Gaming's new video?
fan 2: Hawkeye.... Did you say Hawkeye? HAWKEYE??
fan 1: ....
fan 2: HAAWKEEEEYEE!!!! HAAAAWWKEEEYEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAWKEEEEEYEEE!!!!!!!!
