Video games are no part of serious culture. They are there
for entertainment. That is their main purpose. If they ask
serious questions, about the human condition, they do it in
a childish manner. Video games should not be considered art.

They do, i think, have an influence on society, but they
wont help anyone grow as a person.

Btw, music also shouldn't be consumed just for its
entertainment value. I hope you don't do that

What do you mean by entertainment value? How do you
distinguish entertainment or a more valuable form of
stimulation that is derived from the same object?

I've always maintained that a lot of music is consumed as an
ego-accessory. If you listen to something because it makes
you feel like you are cool, or a person to be desired or
threatening, then what category of use or value would you
assign to that?

video games are fun. i play them sometimes. some people go
way too far, though. if you've ever pre-ordered an xbox
game, you should get yourself checked for the aspergers.

yeah, achievement unlocked, another few hours of your life
gone for some pixel trophy on a screen. games help with your
motor skills, they can help you blow off some steam, but
past that it's just another hole to hide in. same as booze.
myself, i prefer the internet

I've been playing 1995's "Earthbound" on the Wii U virtual
console lately and I have been enjoying it a lot. Are all
films art, are all paintings? I'd say no. Some are simply
entertainment or decoration. Are games art? I'd say some
are, most definitely. What isn't art though, is Photography.

ppl who believe in that art/entertainment line SUCK!!! take
a kind of music like vapor wave 4 example, the coolest
recordings like eccojams were just made by ppl screwing
around with loops n stuff and only after tthe fact bloggers
started writing tomes and tretises on percieved "deeper
meaning" of it when the original work didnt change at all.
ppl can interpret that like that as ART but what there rly
doing is hierarchizing creative works cuz of something not
even built in, based on there own prejudices

and when ppl start believeing that they start making there
own creativ works to appeal 2 those ideas. and in video
games we get some really TERRIBLE games like "cube & star"
proclaimed as great works of art when rly there just awfull.
and meanwhile games like "binding of isaac" dont have aspire
to ARTYNESS and just are filled with rude humor and still
are great cuz there made well

earthbound was cool signedup. maybe yume nikki is art?

crash bandicoot1 all gems was a hard and beautiful
experience.

i have never seen a game that really tells a good story.
even the best game plots are poor compared to films which
managed to say so much last century. a shame

I'm playing fire emblem sacred stones, using myboy for
android. Good mindless fun. I play each level to win with no
deaths. So it's lasted me some time to enjoy the
mindlessness of it

early PS1 etc.

What do you guys think about #gamergate? I am not a gamer,
but in the last few years i have come under the attack of
these SJWs. Three of my twitter accounts got banned,
probably because a group of feminist bullies don't like me.

To have one twitter account banned may be regarded as a
misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness. Three is a
definite sign of trolling.

Why don't you understand that i am being targeted by a bunch
of feminist bullies? It began two years, were someone wrote
a blog post about me, calling me a nazi. That blogpost
vanished, but i have been on at least 4 blocklists by these
people.

All I regret is that for about 10 years I have taken you at
"face value" and only now, now, with that post, do I get it
that you're a parody account. Which is at least one positive
we can take from #gamergate and #blackstormtrooper

I dare say you play, and have played the game, across
different platforms, some now long-dead, be it Twitter,
Watmm, MySpace, bebo, IRC, wikipedia, ICQ, amazon reviews,
letters to der spiegel, Friends Reunited and Instagram. Only
an idiot would imagine you'd confined yourself to this
e-cul-de-sac. I'd applaud you, were it what you wanted. What
would make you happy. However, what you want, and what you
have found and lost, is between you and your god.

Your topics are always about *you*, you don't give a
schizer what anybody else thinks about your
faux-opinion about this that or the other. So let's keep
talking about you. As if that's going to promote anyone
"growing as a person" (least of you all, you sausage fuck)

Interesting that you see rape where I meant
consensual - I guess the two are fucked together in
your mind.
