Then really, there are two different kinds of art with differing definitions. One kind affects, and the other kind is merely for observation. So it's not a question of whether games are or not art, it's a question of what kind of art a game is.
The key part of that definition is "so that it affects." To affect, it must have depth and weight and be thought-provoking. Many games don't affect, they mildly entertain as a card game does. I would not consider card games art any more than I'd consider Link's Crossbow Training art.
I heavily disagree. I think something should have some sort of heart and soul, be beautiful, have some way to change you and make you think and teach you new ways of viewing the world in order to be considered art. M&M's Racing and Imagine: Babyz and Carnival Games and a ton of other such games...

You're saying people are having sex later than ever before, but I'd like to see your source on that information. Compare today to the 1950's and try to make that point when you look at the average age of lost virginity (I know people who lost their virginity and got pregnant at 13 years old), or...
I got super lucky and found my dream girl a year ago, and we've been together for 10 months. We are and were from the start very attracted to each other physically and mentally. We have similar values and interests, we have a ton of fun together, and life always seems to be an adventure when...
Where exactly are you getting those numbers from? It seems to make logical sense to me that the majority of people who post on English-language forums probably speak English as their first language.
My problem with this issue is when people who speak English as their primary language and have...
Frankly, I don't understand why people feel the need to compare fanboy penises in the first place.
On a personal level, I do not enjoy PC gaming because: 1) I can't stand to play my games with a mouse and keyboard. I like having a controller in my hand. I know they make controllers for PC...
