{{page should be category}}
MOD: The examples for individual games listed here need to be moved - ''not'' copied - to {{SUBPAGENAME}} subpages of the matching works, and the category [[:Category:Video Games/{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] needs to be confirmed to be present on all of those subpages.
 
==Subpages ==
* [[Wii/Headscratchers]]
 
== Other WMGs ==
* I don't like the fact that the majority of [[First-Person Shooter|FPS]] players in online multiplayer [[Poor Communication Kills|don't use their headsets]]. This makes it pretty awkward for when you try to use teamwork, either in games where [[Call of Duty|it's largely irrelevant]] or even ones where [[Battlefield 3|it is actively encouraged]]. What the hell!? Are people just too lazy to fix or replace their mics, or are they so anti-social that they don't even want to interact with any other players? Don't you just hate it when the users of a product prevent you from using it as intended?
** When you speak with a headset and are told "shut up" because they find your voice is annoying, that generally tends to kill any desire to want to speak.
Line 24 ⟶ 28:
** Why? Look above. Its to differentiate them from card games and board games. Considering that these games required the use of some form of video display, the name was pretty apt.
*** On top of that, some board games don't even have a board, the most notable ones being Twister, Yahtzee, Apples to Apples, and Puerto Rico. However, their gameplay and their rules follow normal board game conventions (minus the pieces, moving, and board) and are sold with other board games.
**** ''[[Twister (game)|Twister]]'' has a board big enough for people to stand on, and ''[[Puerto Rico (board game)|Puerto Rico]]'' has a board for each player. ''[[Yahtzee]]'' is a dice game, and ''[[Apples to Apples]]'' is a card game.
** Because English's status as a living language without any official or effective authority (outside of individual organizations) allows for the compounding of words based on individual preference, apparently prevalent enough to combine 'videogame' and (despite what you think) 'boardgame'. 'Playinggame', however, isn't aesthetically pleasing due in part to the clashing letters. Why do you say 'tomorrow' instead of 'to the morrow'? Why do you say "whatever" instead of "what ever"? English is not a language that lends itself to Grammarnazification.
** Why not "electronic games"?
Line 34 ⟶ 39:
* Can we use this Page for Video Games that don't have [[Just Bugs Me]] Page Yet?
** I don't see why not. I also don't see why not just make JBM page for those games though.
** '''MOD: Please don't. Instead, please create a WMG subpage for the work.'''
 
* This bugs me massively, considering its one of my favorite games: Dark Cloud 2. Dark Cloud 2 has a gaping [[Plot Hole]] that gets bigger the more you look at it. See, in the future, there are areas that are important to the plot. These have had their "origin points" destroyed, meaning they no longer exist. But, everyone in the future knows of these places, even though they don't exist until you recreate them. This is possibly the most confusing use of time ever to grace a plot, and this crap is central to it. It's just such a massive [[Plot Hole]], it's preventing me from enjoying the game!
