	Foremost, I see video games as a medium. Movies and television are a visual medium, as are books and podcasts. These media aren't all collectively seen as entertainment. While they can convey entertaining content, a movie can be as informational as an encyclopedia, and no one would bat an eye. Video games are an interactive visual media that allows the consumer to become immersed with the game scenario by directly influencing it, unlike a movie where the viewer is merely spectating. This allows unique opportunities to have the consumer experience stories in real time at their own pace, and also personalise said experience with their own actions. Incorporating story, soundtrack, gameplay, all in one package provides an unmatched form of media that a lot of people are unaware from solely based on its association with "mindless, childish entertainment".

			== Hardware repair and modification ==
			Like with software, I'm a sucker for making my tools and items work for me. Which becomes a problem when they don't work at all. That's why I learned to become familiar with repairing what I broke from a young age, because no one else was going to simply replace the Christmas gifts I waited all year to receive. In the process, I began to learn how the innards of my favourite devices worked, and how to change those functions to serve me better. More on this can be seen on the dedicated [[repairing]] page.
