I am interested in buying a projector and I was going to borrow one from somebody and they told me not to use it for watching movies or playing video games. Why is this?

I'm guessing this person told you this because some projectors, if they're quite cheap/poor quality, will stretch the images. Or alternatively will just display it very poorly and in a grainy quality.
However the quality and sheer size of picture that you can get with projectors is definetly reason enough to look into purchasing one.
Your friend most likely heard bad news about a select few poor projectors, however you have nothing to fear from good quality projectors, they will allow you to view films and play games fine.

I don't understand why they would say that for movies. There are some great home theater projectors out there. In fact my home theater has a Sony projector and the picture quality is awesome.
For video games, I would have to say it may not be the best option since you'll be playing in the dark with your friends and family. However, if you are playing by yourself, it's great to have that bass from the subwoofer!!!

No you does no longer. on the cinema, they do 3-D via utilising 2 projectors. each projector has a around polarizing lens which corresponds to the around polarizing lenses interior the three-D glasses. for this reason the best eye sees the projector with the best eye photograph and the left eye sees the left eye projection photograph. on the grounds that your projector does no longer have that clear out (and despite in case you probably did, you will desire 2 projectors and a couple of filters) you will no longer get 3-D. If in user-friendly terms it have been that straight forward.

From a technical standpoint, I don't see why you couldn't or shouldn't, unless they don't feel like using the projector for fun with the cost of replacement lamps. That's the only thing I can think of.

.It might be a data projector that is used in a boardroom for showing slides where colour is more important than brightness and resolution, but i am only guessing

Apparently your friend has no idea what he's talking about. Movies and gaming look perfectly fine with projection. Even with enough ambient light to read by.
