But my tastes are way over toward the "art" end in general; for example, I really dislike watching video if other people in the room are talking, and especially if they're making jokes and sarcastic comments. (I know people who do "MST3King," but I'd rather not watch something than sit through that, because it totally doesn't amuse me.)
If I want something that's more like entertainment, I'll play Settlers of Catan. Or Munchkin, though it's not as much fun.

I'm the same way. I don't like talking during videos...I never could enjoy MST3K. And I tend to few RPGing as art rather than casual entertainment. I think that compatibility is one of the reasons I love gaming with you!
