AWKWARD ZOMBIE

He also doesn't like story in video games, though. He's actually keeping people from making a LoZ game with a more complicated story.

I think I was told in art class once that the classical definition of art is that for something to be art, it must convey an emotion and be permanent.
By the classical definition, a sculpture made of sandwiches isn't art because the sandwiches will eventually rot and the sculpture will fall apart.
I was also told that that definition was abandoned because it was too strict.

Personally, I see art as something that conveys an emotion, no matter of what kind. Doesn't mean I have to like it, though.



Dear Esther, maybe?

Art.
Art.

I guess you could say videogames are art because they can show pictures too (well they are pretty much pictures), albeit an interactive one. If they can make you feel emotion, that's art. I wouldn't say a shoot up or something is though.

I think those Prince of Persia games are really pretty. I've only seen a newer one, where you climb up walls and shit and click a few buttons.. BUT IT WAS ART I TELL YOU

And also Ebert is a closet sandwich.

You guys really need to play the original one.
Brøderbund published some awesome games back in the day.

You know what I think is a great example of video games as art?




The music, the graphics, and the hardly-existant storyline that still managed to bring about emotion is what made this game a true artistic masterpiece.

The Mother series is just a series of interactive masterpieces

Your mom joke

Holy shit, I think this is the first time RNFB was a successful troll.

Nah, check the megaman thread

runescape is a great sandwich

Its true. I still stand by that they make good sandwiches though.

I must say, I can understand both ends of the debate, it's the fanboys that make me angry. They're just... so..... I am pretty sure none of them even know who Ebert is. They're just basing him on this one opinion he has.

Okami.

Nuff' said.
