Noun
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use. The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer games often needed a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to buy a separate joystick with at least one button. Many modern computer games allow, or even require, the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. Video games typically also use other ways of providing interaction and information to the player. Audio is almost universal, using sound reproduction devices, such as speakers and headphones. But other feedback may come via haptic peripherals, such as vibration force feedback. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How can I record video games to my mac without using a video camera? Q. Please do not tell me to purchase Eyetv, Eyetv only lets you use your mac as a screen for when you play video games, it does not record the game. Asked by Mark - Sun Apr 20 19:53:18 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the game you are playing is on your Mac, then you need a screen capture utility... Some do single screen shots - which you do not want. Others end up capturing QuickTime movies of the screen - which is what you want... Or... if you have a game console, you will want three "y" cables... 1 for video, one for left audio, one for right audio. Plug the "y" cables into the game console. One side goes to the TV like normal, the other side goes to a Canopus video converter Then a firewire cable connects the Canopus video converter to your Mac. Launch iMovie or FinalCut and import the game play... USB based video converters will not work. Answered by Nu'uanu - Sun Apr 20 23:10:21 2008 Are video games recession proof? Would buying more video games or systems help us get out a recession? Q. I have to write a proposal argument for my writing class and I want to try doing something satirical and propose that Americans begin buying more video games to get us out of the recession. I'm not taking any econ classes nor do I know a lot about economics, so I don't really have a good understanding of the current economic situation in the US. With that in mind, let me know if such a proposal is too outlanding and impossible. Thanks! Asked by Stan G - Mon Apr 21 13:04:50 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A.
