Which do you prefer more? Reading books or playing video games and why?

Depends on what kinda pictures are in books! Video games as a whole is a better medium though

I used to love reading a lot more, but video games, movies, and anime have all ruined my attention span :(.

^ This (minus anime). Not to mention all this sloppy, informal communication (forums, social media, texting, youtube comments, etc) is eroding our collective grammar and writing ability.

Nah, that was meant as a generality.

I enjoy both. I do both every day. No need to choose one over the other.

They are both hobbies of mine. It's not so much a matter of which one I like more but which one I like more at this moment.

Both. I go through cycles. I'll be into books for a month or two, and then lose interest and will be into video games for a while before getting back into books again.

When i was younger i was a huge reader, but now i can't say why but i read maybe 2/3 books par year. I play more. Maybe i play more because when i was young, a game cost 80/90 euros, and there was no occasion game. Now with steam, psn or cash shop, it is very easy to buy more games.
So i am more a player than a reader

I rarely read novels anymore. Regardless, I prefer to play story games, since they're more likely to hold my attention and stir curiosity in me, by virtue of them being interactive. Inasmuch, I tend to prefer to play story games than to watch movies. My mood does shift sometimes, though. Sometimes I don't want to play games at all. Sometimes I don't want to watch movies longer than ten minutes long.

A Song of Ice and Fire is the only reason reading means anything at all, and the only reason my memory still works after years of drinking.

Nothing like a good book but finding a good book can be tricky. If I was rich I would probably read an ebook a week.

Books. No rampant groups of kindle vs Paperback vs Hardcover master race nerds. Plus I can finish the book without paying again for all the pages.
