It gets infuriating when all the 'grown-ups' around keep telling you that video games are just a stage and that I'll grow out of it. I didn't see them grow out of movies or books, though...

Anyway. Are video games art? I define art a bit diferently than other people around here. Artists create art under the influence of certain feelings. Through art, they want to show the world a piece of themselves. What I mean is that not all that glitters is gold. A picture can be beautifully done, appear real an so on, but that doesn't necessarily make it art. Sometimes a, I dunno, toilet seat, can express more. See, being somewhat an artist myself, I think that artists don't think about money. It's about something different. See, I dunno how, i.g. Kill Bill can be art (unless Tarantino wanted to show the world what bloody visions lay on the bottom of his soul). Not every piece of music is art, same as not every sculpture, painting or music is art. IMO, some videogames can be considered art. It actually depends on whether it's just 'cool' or whether it carries some more complex emotional sensations.
