I grew up with videogames. My whole life, my mais sources of entertainment were books and video games.
I find that whant attracts me to them is the control I have of my experience. Specially the pacing.
With books and game I can take a breather, explore/reread a portion and progress as fast as I want. In the television, cinema and music media I don't have that control. Therefore I don't like those media as much.
I'm also _really_ picky about the pacing in a movie. It's not that I don't like slow movies. I get antsy if they're not progressing as I think they should and when I'm presented with scenes that have no purpose.
