I'm sorry, but your argument was absolute garbage. First, how on earth can you possibly get away with claiming that video games don't make us more philosophical and then go on to say that they will never reach the artistic value of a Kandinsky painting? The Abstract Expressionism school was...

That was the greatest exchange in the history of the internet.
