| Anyway, I just felt the need to post this. I guess my question to you is - do you feel that games are a relative waste of time? |
Games are activities or contests governed by sets of rules. People engage in games for recreation and to develop mental or physical skills.
--Encyclopedia Encarta
Of course you are referring specifically to videogames, but that makes little difference. The answers you seek are still to be found somewhere in that encyclopedia definition. |

This is a really depressing thread.
Man, I sure do miss the days when real gamers read CVG and EGM, and played real games on real consoles, and no one worried about all this art nonsense.
But if people absolutely must discuss this, then I agree that a sticky thread right up top "DISCUSS VIDEOGAMES AS ART in HERE" would solve the problem.
Eventually, when that thread reached like 50 pages, it would die and put an end to all this.
And then of course we'd need another sticky thread in the general forum, devoted to personal antagonism between forum members. That'd be a neat thing do to, in my opinion. It would put an end to all the other nonsense.

| Sorry, this isn't on topic, I just wanted to correct something that I said earlier in the thread. I said that the last high water mark for comics was in 1986~7 for Batman:Dark Night Returns. I'd just like to push that date forward two years to 1989 for The Crow. |
That... that's a retarded thing to say. |
I don't think so. Which is the wonderful thing about art, it's a matter of opinion. |
Which is why I prefer science. Idiots have no place there.

Hey man, any idea why I am banned from your forums? Is it because I am an abrasive asshole and no one likes me? :( |

Ben Reed has this flashing avatar that prevents me from reading any of his posts. It is quite annoying.

P.S. Pikachu, I will make you a deal.
If you can find me a good, standard avatar-sized portrait of Gene from God Hand (or Shannon, or the gay leopard-twin midbosses, or Olivia in the bathtub wielding the axe...I am not terribly picky), I will promptly retire Master Asia so that you don't have to look at him anymore.
I would prefer the concept art from the manual or something similar, but a very clear, close-up screenshot cropped to appropriate size would also suffice. A hilarious facial expression is a must as well.
I have looked myself on Google and 4chan for a worthy image, but to no avail. Perhaps you will provide the answer that I seek.
Cheers and crumpets,
