Video Games are media, right?

As I've stated before, I don't have a whole lot of time for media this semester other than my Pink Floyd while write papers. Recently, I've found myself craving little ten minute gaming sessions, and I've turned to prop hunt to satisfy my needs. Prop hunt is a hide-and-seek video game that you play online with other people, and most importantly, each round is only about 5 minutes, so it's a great little video game "snack." Players are either on the team "hunter" or "props." The goal of the players on the prop team is to hide in the environment as an inanimate object, like a chair or a soda can. The hunters try to determine which objects are normal, and which objects are secretly players. It might not sound too great, but it curbs my cravings for video games and allows me to get back to work quickly. Lately, thats been the most significant piece of media in my life.
