Can I ask a stupid question

I'm probably going to get a lot of sarcasm from this, so here goes...... what is an RPG? I know it stands for Role Play Game, (at least I'm pretty sure) But I don't think I've ever played one.

A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within the game succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines (wikipedia)

Games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, all those are RPG.
I think every game in which you level up has rpg style.

A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) is a shoulder-fired, anti-tank weapon system which fires rockets equipped with an explosive warhead. These warheads are affixed to a rocket motor and stabilized in flight with fins. Some types of RPG are reloadable while others are single-use. RPGs, with the exception of self-contained versions, are loaded from the muzzle. RPGs are very effective against armored vehicles such as armored personnel carriers (wikipedia)

The Rally of the Guinean People (French: Rassemblement du Peuple Guinéen) is a political party in Guinea. The RPG is the current ruling party in the country and is led by Alpha Condé. It is mainly based amongst the Mandinka population.

The guy's name is Alpha Condé. How is that not awesome? I'll answer that for you: it's totally wicked sick.

No wonder Mom didn't let me play Pokemon games as a little kid. They're dangerous!

Of course I don't really care about pokemon anyway.

Its when you get splashed with Gatorade, after making the winning touchdown of the championship game.

Its when you score that A on a test that you did not study for.

Its when you had that awkward experience with your cousin out back during the family reunion.

THAT, my friends, is an RPG.
