[QUOTE="Lisa Nadazdy, post: 651843, member: 39"] I don't think most music is "art", but a mass means of selling pablum that has a beat in order to suck money from their pockets.;) That's besides the point. It seems that every day I see terms like "art" abused, and all too often in self reference. It's annoying and egotistical to boot. If I went making crank calls to people,even if they were creative, would you call that art? It's a word that's waaaaay overused. We are surrounded by images every day, and although I'm certain that the designer of the Sony logo considers it art, I'm hard pressed to consider it anything but corporate whoring (BTW, I like Sony's products, so I'm not bashing that). I don't consider gaming an art, I consider it an entertainment. However, if in the next decade or two I find someone comparing a game session of Mutants & Masterminds to be right up there with the works of Shakespeare, then I'll happily eat my words.:cool: [/QUOTE]
