...Very well. It's highly likely, then, that I misinterpreted your original post on the subject as an attack against myself. Because of my defensive nature when dealing with forums and the internet in general I lashed out against you unfairly, lumping you in with others that have responded...

Didn't we just do this? Didn't we JUST do this? No really. I SWEAR I posted in a thread EXACTLY like this not two or three hours ago. C'mon guys, I love ponies as much as the NEXT guy(?) but it's hard keeping track of four fucking pony threads at once.

So, like, would you say you're exploded into a sort of rage singularity?

He can't. As ACII showed us, the animus only records data through genetic memory. When that memory gets passed on to offspring, the "Camera" shifts from the parent's perspective to the child's. If Ezio dies, we'll be seeing it through the eyes of either his wife or his child.

How many of those threads were started by people who either don't like the show or were curious and wanted to ask questions about it? Nearly all of them, you say? My oh my. Well in that case... How many threads were started by proponents of the show? I count three, if memory serves me...

I don't know. Honestly, I'll need more information about the final product before determining whether it's going to be as good as the previous titles.

I've heard tell there's a webcomic series that has access to the scripts and outlines that would have been used for the third season of that show. Gimme a second... *GOOGLE-AHOY* Here we go: http://sonicsatam.com/sea3on/ Doesn't look half bad, actually... I may read this.

Then why not put that control into the hands of STATE governments, which can far more accurately reflect the will of the people, than the federal government, which oversees so many separate clashing cultures (I'm talking specifically about America now, which has a wide abundance of cultures and...

Keep track of ALL of your purchases. Seriously, nothing sucks quite like realizing you forgot about that errant ten-dollar movie charge and now can't pay for you car insurance for the month, or worse, the RENT.

Don't worry. When the day comes I'm sure we'll all be here, hands in our pockets, shoulders slumped and backs bent low, just waiting to step forward one by one and apologize for DARING to like something you don't approve of. Yes. We'll look into your eyes and KNOW: here's a fellow who refuses...

I agree. But, I mean, why stop there! Let's take your logic and apply it to all SORTS of situations for cool results and fun times. Gamers, man. Amirite? I saw my son playing a game once, and it was VIOLENT as fuck! And then there was that Columbine Shooting... boy... that must mean that...

But that's just it. The games AREN'T free, they're paid for by people who have no say in the matter. Stop bringing up unjust military spending as though it somehow makes this PARTICULAR injustice more right. Some taxes are necessary, just like paying a monthly bill for an apartment with...

In this particular case, it's not about validation so much as it is PROTECTION. This ruling sets a powerful precedent for games that DO want to take that leap to artistry, while still allowing the freedoms of those that don't to remain intact.

The problem with applying rules to any sort of working definition of art is kind of self-fulfilling. Rules dedicated to the pursuit of, say, laws of perspective, can be immediately subverted by an artist who decides to break those rules. Someone might then claim that the artwork being produced...

It's all about individual context, in my opinion. The point is that the MEDIUM of gaming can produce artistic pieces, and is therefor worth protecting as an artform.
