Video Games

Is the term still kosher? I don't really care. To me the only significance in the term is to put a name to something. I really don't see a huge issue arising when someone says "video game" about an online game. Does it come across via a video feed (i.e. monitor)? Then the term isn't completely wrong. Yet, personally, I don't see the need for the attachment "video" to the term "game". Saying "game" is perfectly adequate, unless you need to further specify what exactly you're doing:

"Ed and I picked up this sweet new game last night."

"Oh yeah? What game?"

"Blazblue, it's for 360 and PS3. Pretty intense."

Here, I've clarified what I'm talking about in without any real confusion, and I didn't need to say "Videogame" or "Video Game". Take the same discussion but not about anything involving video at all.

"Ed and I picked up this sweet new game last night."

"Oh yeah? What game?"

"Space Hulk. It's a board game based on Warhammer 40k (a miniature-based tabletop game)."

Both are games, and the term "game" can be used in most all occasions until further clarification becomes necessary - much in the way a waitress will ask you what kind of soda you would like, where you can respond with "coke", "pepsi", "the dew" etc.
