You have to drive the nail all the way through your hand to realize it hurts really bad. If you just pierce the skin with it, you cannot fully comprehend the deeper meaning and feelings possible once you crack the bone and the nail comes out the other side. Who knows, you might be granted omniscience or some shit once you finish, or have a mind blowing orgasm that is so great it causes your soul to leave your body and persist forevermore as a being without time or limits. Or you could just have a hole all the way through your hand.

Read the whole article, guize.

No.


I read the first two parts of the "elder scrolls metaphysics hurrr" link and I have yet to see anything that justifies games as art.

Literature is art, broham.
And yet not everything that is written is art. Twilight, animorphs, kids books for example... Not art. I could write an English-lesson essay on the sexual fantasy of Codexers, but it still wouldn't be anything more than highly disturbed fetishism.

English majors discussing art is the most vomit-inducing thing. And this is coming from an English major. Most of us are dicks who think they can write because they've once written a five page paper on The Great Gatsby.

Things some people consider art ain't necessarily considered art by other people. Personally I don't give a gilette for men after shave about art. Art is a bullshit term coined by people who have no fucking clue about anything.

Art is what you call when you take a shit and you put a ribbon on it.

Games being accepted as an artform? By who? By a bunch of pretentious faggots?
Pretending to be a movie critic and spewing tons of pretentious bullshit does nothing to make games to be accept as art.

For fucks sake, do people who write about culinary arts, martial arts, art of war, etc. also pretend that their art is like movies?

For fucks sake, games are games. Games aren't movies and games aren't paintings. They are fucking games.
If you want games to be accepted as art, the first thing is that you have to accept that games are games and need to be good games to be art.

And art can be appreciated by anyone. "Art critics" are for brainwashing people into believing that modern artist's shit is better than a beautiful painting of a renaissance master because it has a special message or some other bullshit.

Sorry, but this is dumb. It's not really a profound statement, here. The Vidya is art, all you can really do is argue its merits.

Never said it was.

I don't disagree with any of that. I just get all :x when people don't read the shit they're commenting on.

Get some perspective, retard. Nothing folks commented on was in contrast with what the full article held. Where did you even get that idea? That a shitty, pretentious writer is a retard and cannot grasp basic gameplay-concepts?

Maybe save your precious counter-rage for the threads that actually need it. Otherwise you are going to run dry and sneak back to RPGWatch.

Lol post more internet tips.

Contrarian Corner takes a critical look at recent games, with the intention of encouraging a broader discussion of titles which have been the recipient of either an abundance of single-minded praise

Not doing the best job, shitheads.

2010, retarded and has BG2 quote in his signature.
It's funny, actually. Prior to 2010 I didn't really have to bother with IGNore list but now it seems like there's some sort of competition who'll be ignored the most.

But anyways, I agree gaming is just as much of an art form as anything, and Fallout New Vegas is a perfect example of this, because open world gaming is truly something new. For all the art humans have created, to have a true virtual world, we're just starting to realize that, and Oblivion was really the first big step in the right direction (I know we had Ultima 7 in the 90s and the earlier GTA games, but Oblivion was unlike anything before.)
And so many commenters going all "oooh you're just not smart enough to get it, it's deep man" :x

Fuck, just read the comments. That guy is apparently incapable of forming a single sentence without spicing it up with that pseudo intellectual crap.

Hey, if you insist on coming across as a giant douchebag and a retard to everyone, be my guest. You're well on your way down that road.
