Perhaps we should just refer to them as interactive visual media.
Or are there?
Or computer programs, like Photoshop. Is Photoshop art?
It's not that we shouldn't be critical, but that shouldn't be an excuse to deceive yourself or prevent yourself from enjoying something.
Video games are not sports. A video of a basketball game can indeed be art. The interactive nature of video games does not invalidate or negate the visual or audio natures.
Dammit, cajun. I'm trying to start a new fear here.

So we get Snow White, the Seven Dwarves, indoor pool and almost drowning. At least we get some Ringo backstory so yay for more building them characters up. I don't really have any confidence that this show will actually conclude anything expect maybe a not real love confession and even that is doubtful.
More frills!

I do not think Monopoly itself would qualify, but a video game version of Monopoly certainly could. That's not to say a board game couldn't be art, I just don't think it's likely that Monopoly is.
Isn't the point of that thing to be a safer alternative to whirring fan blades? Its notl ikely to cause fear unless someone fears technology itself.

Photoshop is a tool, though the GUI could be considered art. Are you suggesting that a program could never be art?
The point of the Dyson fan is to charge customers lots of money for something that isn't as effective as conventional fans, but looks cool.
No you won't. It'll just appear inside the corresponding orange fan.
If that was true, I would have bought one already
OH SHIT. BEST ANSWER.
Movies are not art -- they are movies. What are you trying to pull here pizzaroll?
Oh, fuck. Were you actually serious when you said that games aren't art? I thought you were just teasing us.
Look, you are on a video game forum. You are going to be torn apart while dragging the thread through pages of off-topic discussion. Learn to read the fucking room.

So you mean, it doesn't look cool?
Nope. Its a stupid looking thing.
Plus, you cant talk like a robot in front of it.
You guys know what I'm talking about.
It is pretty cool, it just isn't as efficient as conventional fans.
By that, I mean it doesn't push air through as fast, I don't know the differences in power usage.
No kidding. I'd imagine it'd help so much. No boo-boos from being curious.
I don't know, in my experience large open-caged fans with steel blades are much more effective at dealing with small children.
I wouldn't consider an interactive movie art, just for clarification.
Why do you seem angry? Too many bad Suda games?
I can like games without considering them art, shockingly. I'm not trying to berate games here.
The dunk contest is a performance piece.
Are Choose Your Own Adventure novels not art?
On the subject of art, what about interactive art? That's actually... art. I don't think anyone argues that it isn't. So is that different from interactive mediums being considered art? Food for thought.
I played a ton of them as a kid. They're definitely not art.

I think you mean talk like an alien, right?
That too! Talk like Novid.
But that's how children learn
At least thats how I learned what NOT to do.
Stick finger in fan blades. OUCH! *note to self dont do that anymore
That's how children used to learn about the world.
Todays kids are deprived.
Hmmm. Yes it might. You've given me an idea.
Wow so apparently I missed all the good arguments today.
Anyway I approve Suda51's pervertedness despite him being a horrible gaming director, not that he directs much anyway. Grasshopper games are fundamentally pieces of shit on multiple levels but the experience as a whole still makes me love the company.
As for the staff thing as a whole, I definitely want to say that preconceptions of staff will influence a person's bias towards a show. There's nothing wrong with that as long as the person is aware of said bias. There is no such thing as neutral analysis.
Ao is better from the get-go but he's much closer in tone towards end-game, episode 45 and on, Renton. People seem to forget how much the character progressed near the end. That's why I didn't like New State(Episode 51) that much as it seemed to regress Renton's character development.
I'm having flashbacks to the Mass Effect 3 thread. Oh god. Anyway my opinion on it is that films aren't in of themselves art but it's rather the intent behind the production that determines that distinction. I wouldn't call Transformer 3 art just as much as I wouldn't call Call of Duty art. When your intent behind a product is to produce money then it's just a product. You could say it's commercial art but I would say that's fundamentally different than something that is meant to primarily express the artist's vision. Art in of itself is a very subjective term anyway.

No
This is where it gets tricky. I should probably think about it more, but it doesn't really make for as interesting discussions so I... don't think about it often.
That too! Talk like Novid.

Stick your finger in, OUCH, where did my finger go? is more what would happen.
CAJUNATOR SUPPORTS CHILD ABUSE.
I bet he'd spank his future kids as well.
I wish. Those things were the best.

The covers certainly are, though!

I support child learning through self abuse.

Technically speaking everything man-made is art.

Be sure to learn from cajun's example, I want you to be a good dad to my child.
My view is that if the creator of something intended for it to be art, it's art. I've never seen a good reason to claim otherwise except pointless snobbery.

Dinosaur Island is a masterpiece!
I don't see any problem with considering them art. They're mostly just bad art.
So I make art everyday in the bathroom? Cool I should try and sell it. If someone can get paid for a urinal then I can definitely get paid for something a little extra after all.

A big long dung would look better on a wall than most post-modernist art.
