What about video-game? I write it as 2 words. But you of all people should understand how quickly neologisms are formed from commonly used word pairs. a video game as a descriptive term could include Scene It, a board game (boardgame?) in which you watch videos to play the game. Videogame would be its own word specifically referring to interactive digital games played on home or hand-held consoles or a computer. It is gaining a more specialized meaning and is therefore worthy of becoming its own unique word.
Well, when I read news I frequently see it as videogame, and I don't like the way it looks. I always use the first one too, but I was starting to wonder if others use other spellings more.
Edit: To Adam's post, it really should have its own unique word or spelling, but I've been using video game for so long I don't have anything else I like.
Mmm... Drugs... I mean, uh... What a despicable act! Yes, quite right! And um, yes.
I once dated a girl from Plano. Worst relationship of my life. Thus, because of my one experience and without basing anything on anyone else's experiences because I'm the only person in the world who matters, Plano is a steaming pile of disgusting evilness that needs to be taken out back and shot. Repeatedly. In the FACE.
Well, not the nonissue drugs like marijuana. I mean the bad drugs that will fuck you up, like heroin and cocaine. When I lived in Plano we were on Dateline for being the heroin capital of the country.
I remember a 6th grader getting busted for possession when I was in 7th grade. After that they periodically brought in drug sniffing dogs to make rounds while kids were in class.

...HOLY SHIT. O_O
I mean, yeah, I remember the drug busts in high school, but sixth graders? With cocaine?
Jesus Christ on a piece of toast sold by some diner in the middle of Route 66!
...At least Chris Hansen didn't come to Plano, although he IS my favorite part of Dateline. ^_^
I don't remember what he was busted with, the teachers kept it all secret. It could've just been pot. When I talk about heroine/cocaine I'm talking about Plano in general. I moved in the middle of 8th grade to bumfuck Iowa, so I completely avoided the high school scene, where it was apparently more available.
And Rob, do I really come off as a drug user? I drink a lot and smoke cigars, but that's about it. I'm a straight arrow.
I other words: he's boring. You see kids. Stay away from frugs and you will be just like Ryan. you'll have a huge cock. but you'll be boring and lame and never getting totally laid.

We also ride horses to school and work, and there's a stable at every building.
but yes, video game.
But can you saddle a horse?
That was my whole school every day for the 4+ years I lived in Plano.
