Is this really what television thinks of video games?

I know it looks stupid when they show people playing videogames in TV shows however it's not any different then any crime show like CSI where they solve cases really quick over the weekend. It's TV so don't expect reality.

I just....words escape me. I can't understand how even now as more than half the world plays video games they still represent this stuff like it is some "new fangled" under ground sensation that no one knows about. Its like how my grandma refers to every bit of electrical high-tech machinery in my house as a "radio".
Shawn of the Dead had a good representation of what it is like to actually play a video game.

I figure this is the thread to give Chuck the credit it deserves. It got Call of Duty 4 right on the monitors in the store and even had Morgan playing it correctly. I love that real geeks and nerds can find this stuff. Heck, Chuck even has some of the televisions in the Buy More store displaying stretched/zoomed 4:3 material on the 16:9 displays.
