Melding their optic nerve with a variety of cathode ray, plasma, or LCD feeding tubes, they exist as parasites, attaching themselves to the input devices of otherwise useful computers, and forcing them to upgrade themselves repeatedly.
About the games themselves, little concrete is known. We owe a debt of gratitude here to the pioneering endeavours of one Dr. Boots, B.A.(Hons), B.A.(Rfly), who attempted to unravel the curious way in which the species impotently attempts to kill its rivals via the linkages between their host computers, and one Professor-in-extremis Tom, about whose fate little is known after his ill-fated Journey to the Centre of the Nerd.
According to myth, at least twelvety-thousand varieties of game exists, each more potent than the last. They range from the innocuous "gate-way game" Windows Solitaire, though to the highly addictive and visceral Battlefield 2, and from the benign but bizzare Katamari Damacy, up to the mysterious and deadly World of Warcraft, from which none have ever returned... alive.
Of course, reputable scientists, when they're not dismissing global warming and the intellect of native Africans, have poured scorn on the existence of "computer games", claiming the concept to be an invention of "smelly tree-hugging hippies"[1], "Communist agents provocateur"[2], and "Islamic terrorists"[3]

However, it is the quickest way to see Percy pwn everybody in Half Life, the US Army use tunnels more extensively then the VC.
