QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 3 2013, 10:22 PM)  Basically anything can be art, especially if it has original creativity. If you like it however is another thing  Considering what passes for "art" these days, I wish people didn't think in those terms. QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 3 2013, 10:22 PM)  Hey, did anyone ever thought of how cruel it is to give a snowman a scarf? I mean, itīs practically a death sentence for him!  I want to give one a flare, or maybe a sparkler, that should do it Ugh, still can't stop writing. More than three pages now, and I've just reached the Emperor's final speech.

QUOTE(Colonel Mustard @ Dec 3 2013, 10:33 PM)  QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Dec 3 2013, 10:19 PM)  I've often heard it said that videogames are art. I'd even argue it myself, but I doubt it was ever meant to be taken so literally.  Why can't they be art? They're forms of creative expression and some of them have artistic merit, so why not? Sure, the contents, the game. But NES cartridges as art?

The cart, the box, the manual. Itīs all open for creative design. Well yeah, but to my mind that's rather like going to see the Mona Lisa or something, and ignoring the picture to look at the frame. Sure, it might be a nice frame, but the real art is inside it.

*Nods sagely, tries to sound impressive* And so we come full circle, to the essential dichotomy of gamer versus collector. Again  On which note, I think it's time for me to call it a night. Night all! This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Dec 4 2013, 12:05 AM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 3 2013, 10:09 PM)  Yep, just looking  Actually, the NWC cart is not mint. Iīve opened it up to gawk at all the goodies inside and Iīve even test played it a couple of times. Unfortunately itīs an American game so it doesnīt work properly on my console. It may not be mint, but itīs very pristine  You're not missing much since it's just timed versions of other games.
