You are just so utterly wrong. Ebert was the one making unjust comparison's from one medium to another. So much of his claim that video games could never be art was based on the fact that no one had yet showed him a game that matched the quality of great cinema. His argument was based on his own critical evaluations

I would agree with you that 95% of video games do not come close to being true "art", but there are certainly those that are even from the early periods of the genre. Is it fair to compare Final Fantasy with Citizen Kane in terms of artistic quality? No. Is it a fair comparison in terms of their influence on the

HD is by no means better and I wish people would get that. The Silent Hill 2 HD rerelease completely ruins the game. It's too bright and they expanded the draw distance and removed most of the fog! Not knowing where you were going or what was right ahead of you was so key to the atmosphere that game created. The

It's sometimes excruciatingly hard to get into old games, just because the way we play games has changed so much. I sat down to play Baldur's Gate over the weekend and was taken aback at the fact that there was no minimap, no way to see where my quest was supposed to go. I eventually readjusted and fell back in love

Only the early glossy behemoth 60GB PS3's were backwards compatible, the slim ones took out the PS2 chip. They can still emulate, but only the specific titles that saw "HD" re-release on PSN.

if they hadn't made the Cell processor so cumbersome they could have made it backwards compatible. Their main reason for not was size concerns, they wanted the PS4 to be the slim sexy machine it is. I personally don't understand the Xbone's lack of backwards compatibility though, its the size of a 90s VCR and most of

I bought one for three reasons. One: I actualy had disposable income at the time and it didn't look like I would for the next couple years. Two: I really really like the controller. Three: they made it sound like Now would be a launch feature (technically it will still be "launch window).

Its not over when I ejaculate, its over when I hate myself.

Wait…I'm not supposed to cry every time? No wonder my girlfriends and boyfriends are always so awkward after…..

You're welcome

Yeah, jerking it to your imagination just feels dirty. Staring coldly at complete strangers having terrible sex for my enjoyment is what really gets me going.

Wait people…..bought porn? Did the dvds cost like 90 bucks back then too? Because well, that is a high cost:jerk ratio right there.

As long as the president shares his stash with congress within six months it is allowed under the Jerk Off Tonkin resolution of 1964

As someone in their early 20s I can safely say I did not get that reference.

When you're all alone and the pretty drones have flown, honey I'm still discounted for members of Amazon prime, take a chance on me.

Well, Abba is what gives @NerdInTheBasement:disqushis power. It's a type of music created by
all living things. Abba surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the
galaxy together

Not to sound incredibly young or anything but….I have absolutely no idea how to program a VCR to record something. Seriously, how did that shit work?

Its going to be tough though, seeing that sit in my steam library for so long. I'll probably end up playing it anyways, especially after so many commententers praised the cliffhanger.

Who said "well that was nice, never doing that again" after their first time?

My plan is to buy it now and then play it when both parts are out. I want them to have my money, but I also want to experience this in one sitting.
