Videogames are another aspect of dumbing down
It's true, try to think of a complex videogame plot, or try to imagine a philosophical poser that a videogame has ever presented. There aren't any are there? That's because as well as being all the other things mentioned earlier videogames are thick. They are the school dunce of the entertainment industry, they never pose a tricky philosophical conundrum, they can't handle complex logic and they entertain the baser senses.

So in other words you are being exploited, you are being patronised. These things are insulting your intelligence and you're lapping it up. Further proof of this is in the language of videogames; sure you can get all techy and jargon yourself up with floating points and mip-maps but this is just another false front what we are really dealing with. Are shoot em ups, beat em ups, puzzlers, action/adventures do these sound like complex forms of entertainment? Nope.

To quote a little Scottish lady "you can say what you want but I won't change my mind." Videogames are invididious, mind-numbing and ultimately a further sign of the degeneration of the Western world into a mass culture of detached, soulless creeps. Anyone how thinks this is demagogic soundbiting should read the strapline on any videogame box... ever. God help us all.
