Video Games in the Olympics? Man people could not turn their tv off fast enough if that happened.

what? LOL.

Man looking at that video games as toys thread is sure cringeworthy.

Video games are not toys no, they're another form of entertainment. But don't put them on this gigantic pedestal and claim they belong in the museum next to the Mona Lisa.

Then other forms of entertainment don't belong there either.

I watched a Mirror's Edge speedrun on YouTube a few weeks ago that was kind of entrancing. I might watch stuff like that on TV once in a blue.
That don't make it a damn Olympic sport. If anything, skateboarding should be in the Olympics. But that's just me

Video games are just as much entertainment and art as a painting. They deserve to be in an museum just as much as any artform. They are reflections of our time as humans on this earth.

The notion that video game is somehow lesser, is silly bullshit. Its just young

Exactly, Video Games has a ways to mature. Especially vocal members of the community

That doesn't make it less art, or less impaction on society.

Like what does that even mean. You have to be at least this old, to be good. That mindset is complete bullshit.

Videogames don't need to mature to get into museums. There are primitive artworks in museums. At the very least stuff like Pong and PacMan and Mario Bros all the way up to Assassins Creed and Halo. can go in.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".

yup

Video games need to mature is that type of shit you say to sound grown up.

Is art before people understood anatomy in museums.

Then notion of maturity, is bullshit. We keep art, we present art as reflection of our lives as people. Notion of maturity is nothing, a fall back " reasoning" reflecting their non understanding of why we preserve an celebrate art. A quick go to to shun whatever art form of choice, to keep them away from whatever. They said the same about movies, radio, paintings over and over and over again through periods of time, as schools of thought came and went.

Can't take gaming seriously when GamerGate is a thing that happens.

yes, there are assholes that play games.

there are asholes who paint, make movies, animate, make music and a myriad of things. The guy who made mickey mouse was a well known to be antisemitic. If assholes playing video games is the reason you can't take game seriously. then you should taken anything seriously.

Because other forms of art, are way older than that and Have reflected completely outdated and stupid schools of thought. And still do, don't hate the concept, hate the asshole.

Yup. Look at all the amazing artwork that popped up during the Protestant Reformation, which was a direct response to all the amazing artwork that came before it that ran parallel to all the backwards fuckery before the Renaissance. They went from emphasizing punishment and monopolizing purgatory to pimping Jesus' love and inviting the poor directly into heaven free of charge. All the ugliness in games needs is counterbalancing.

With Weather Wizard standing in one place for some reason? Also Accel's bike form is one of the worst things Post Showa Kamen Rider ever. I liked Trial though.

Well he was floating in one place. Trial was awesome, than they fucked up with another upgrade.

Can we all agree that the greatest diss record of all time is "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch?" The hate is palpable in that song.
