Topic: The Art of Video Gaming

[The Blind Archer]

Wait what? Video games... a form of art?

Well, according to an upcoming exhibit at the Smithsonian dedicated to 40 years of video games as just that, that would be the case. Suck it, Ebert.  And the best part?  You get to decide what video games are showcased!

Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, Ikaruga, Skies of Arcadia, Bioshock, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Many... MANY more are contenders in 80 different categories.  So, sign up with just an email address, and vote for what I tell you to your favorites!

Whee, signed up and voted

As a person who was forced to study craptonnes of art theory an artist I went for the games that felt different and immersive (Well, 'artistic' as opposed to simply 'entertaining' I suppose) as opposed to just 'looked nice' \o/

But man some of the choices were hard >O

[Protoman Blues]

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I might have to drive down to the D.C. and check that out.

Was this the same one that had you choose between Starcraft 2 and Minecraft in the strategy section?

[Black Mage J]

Well I voted on every category, Phantasy Star on every section it appeared in.
Go go Chrono Trigger!

[Rad Lionheart]

I'm way too lazy to sign up, so someone vote Battletoads on my behalf somewhere.

[ViperAcidZX]

I'd vote for Newgrounds to get their own exhibit featured at the museum. I'd love to see Treasure, Nintendo, Capcom, 2K Games, and more at the museum. Wishing I could go~
