I grew up with videogames. My whole life, my mais sources of entertainment were books and video games.

I find that whant attracts me to them is the control I have of my experience. Specially the pacing.

With books and game I can take a breather, explore/reread a portion and progress as fast as I want. In the television, cinema and music media I don't have that control. Therefore I don't like those media as much.

I'm also _really_ picky about the pacing in a movie. It's not that I don't like slow movies. I get antsy if they're not progressing as I think they should and when I'm presented with scenes that have no purpose.




Re: the last paragraph; judging something for what you want it to be rather than for what it is defeats the purpose of engaging with those media.
