TV vs Books vs Video Games

**Bulf** · 11-08-2009 08:47 PM

Between the three, which do you enjoy the most?
It's a hard decision for me, but I say books.

**-Batman-** · 11-08-2009 09:10 PM

I like games that are based on movies that are based on books that are based on games.

Flawless Victory.

I choose games and books, because sometimes they can have more imagination than a TV script.

Sometimes a TV adaptation from a book or game doesn't do it justice.

Books of course, they hold so much knowledge and philosophy that nothing really compares.
However, if movies had been on the list rather than TV, that may have been a different story.

video games, hands down. I stopped watching TV years ago. Books are awesome but you are merely there for the ride. in a video game you at least have the illusion that you are affecting the outcome, and video games are an experience that cant be replaced by the other choices. I've never been scared of a "scary" movie. Books sometimes, but a really good horror video game takes it to the next level for me

A good book beats TV and video games, hands down.
However, if the book in question is mediocre I'd probably see myself enjoying video games to a greater extent.

TV over here is getting more horrible by the minute. There's hardly any anime on TV unless that is that you pay for anime channels. But TV does allow for the story to last as long as they want it to. (though it tends to kill the series.

Books are great to read, but sometimes its hard to find a gem amongst the many books there are. It does however let you come up with your very own way to visualize the world as depicted in the words.(btw, Steven King is not as scary as most make him out to be).

And video games are great, they give you the freedom to move around a character in a story. And most time you can create their look.

So because of the freedom it provides when it comes to a story, I choose video games.

For me it's not a hard decision at all, lol. I hate video games, and find TV useless... so I remain a book worm for life.

**Artcell** · 11-09-2009 02:38 AM

Books!I love books.I cant live without books.
I always read books when I'm bored.
I always read books when I'm sad.
I always read books when I'm angry...or happy!
Books refresh my mind.Books are simply awesome.I'm a book-warm,hehe.

**Crazyjavi87** · 11-09-2009 02:39 AM

All three.

T.V makes me laugh.
Games make me cry sometimes.
Books makes me think(OH MY GOD, THINKING)

Also, if T.V was useless. Would there be anime? HMMMM?

Or propoganda

**Bun-chan** · 11-09-2009 02:40 AM

i can relax most when i watch tv and i usually watch comedy stuff so i can laugh a bit too ^^ so i picked tv, but videogames can be fun too ^^ i dont really read much...

**Crazyjavi87** · 11-09-2009 02:43 AM

Though if we're talking about relaxing, then none of them.

T.V makes me bored when nothings on.
Games frustrate me when I'm stuck.
Books can bore you too quickly sometimes.

So I'll just go with sleeping. Cause sleeping is awesome. Damn right I'm good in bed, I can sleep for days.

**Megamind's Minion** · 11-09-2009 03:09 AM

it's books.. nothing else.. only thing constant and never changing in my life,..

**Aku no Hikari** · 11-09-2009 04:36 AM

THE INTERNET.

TV is almost dead for me. Video games? Sadly, it's been a very long time since I seriously played any video games. Books? If it's a good one, sure. But if it's something that's available online for free, why purchase a book? Wikipedia alone is a free replacement for most books that are available in the library.

**Necro'lic Enigma** · 11-09-2009 04:52 AM

Of course Video Games for me. I not into much of these TV stuffs anyways. But for Books i am , very seriously , but not as much as games.
Nothing beats the experience with my Ps3 \m/ -_- \m/

**Anime-Prince** · 11-09-2009 05:03 AM

Hmm for me it depends.

I like reading books, but only when I'm alone.
I love watching TV with my family, as we yell at the things we dont like, and disagree upon the things we do..

I love videogames.. but mainly when I'm playing with some friends. It makes it so much more fun for me that way.

So Books- When alone
TV- When with family
Videogames- When with friends.

**Li Xia** · 11-09-2009 07:46 AM

I'd go for books... Because I'm fond of reading and they are my companions.

**Alphabet** · 11-09-2009 08:08 AM

I would choose video games only if they were RPG's. I haven't watched TV forever and I lost the pleasure of reading books again.
ooshy ooshy ooshy

**OtakuInu!!!** · 11-09-2009 09:37 AM

I enjoyed watching TV most because I can be entertained by a lot of varieties/choices. But books and video games are also very enjoyoble for me.

**IcePriestess** · 11-09-2009 10:54 AM

Ahh it's so hard. I drop out TV and Video Games, because I couldn't live without books. Even though it's not like I love reading, but I wouldn't know how to turn on the tv without a book

. Well Books beat Movies, that means they beat TV and Books beat Video games, because a story is always better than sitting and playing

I haven't read any of the other posts, but I think you win.

It goes like this for me.

Books => Games=> T.V.

Mostly because I have been reading ever since I was... 6? Also, television has been going down for a long time and I have better things to do than watch it go down in flames, like trying to find a good book.

**Eris** · 11-09-2009 11:00 AM

It obviously varies with the individual TV show, book, and video game, but overall, TV is less enjoyable because of all the advertisements.

Though if you take TV to include TV shows on DVD, then they're all on par.

Permuting through the options:
A good book is better than a mediocre TV show or video game.
A good video game is better than a mediocre book or TV show.
A good TV show is better than a mediocre video game or book.

i feel the same way. the only thing on tv that I watch is house. and if you count the anime on the internet i watch that is still only a handful
of stuff, and once I have seen it I don't want to see it again. with books I can read a good one three or four times. the people in books are more real and because of that, you care what happens to them and that make the story better. that being said, i like video games more because they're an interactive story and you can play by yourself or with friends. books are for unwinding and relaxing and video games are for fun and excitement.

so I guess what I'm saying is that I can live without tv but i can't live without books and video games.
video games>books>tv

**miniPhil** · 11-09-2009 11:16 AM

At the moment I'm in love with books more.
There is only one show on TV that can get me to actually tune in and watch it

and I rarely play video games anymore

However unlike the other two I'm constantly reading and re-reading book.s Currently I'm working my way through The Necronomicon, Plato's The Republic and a Warhammer novel.
