Oh no please don't make this go down the are games art avenue again. Please.

He isn't. Just that posters with good art are art. He wasn't speaking of the games themselves.

Well, anything that's been created is art if you think about it.

Thanks for that but I can read. I just knew that this was where the discussion would end up going.

I wasn't but I could if there was an argument.

Games gather artwork, writing, music...
They are entertainment and Art per default.

But yeah, it was already talked to exhaustion.
To each his own blissful ignorance.

True. Then I guess would would have 3 classes. Good Art/Bad Art (technical aspects of it) Subjective( one might like it while another may not)

Holy shit.
Yoji Shinkawa is an amazing artist. I mean, the quality and style of his work is apparent in its own, but actually seeing him put it to paper is pretty impressive. It's obvious that he's one of those that simply sees an image in his head and can just throw it to the page without any preparation or technical structure. I only wish I could do something like this.

30 minutes of Twelve Tales Conker. Presumably from a playable copy that exists in the hands of an ex-Rare employee.

I mainly have posters to cover the holes in the wallpapers of the last tenant :lol:

Got loads in my room, "The Great Wave of Kanagawa", a picture of Vito Corleone lol, The Stone Roses, a giant picture that I took in Japan(yeah showing off whatever but the trip was kinda monumental, and a slightly gay motivational poster with buddha on it saying "when you get to the top of the mountain, keep climbing". I get ripped for it but I love it :P Got a poster I bought In Japan up and various pictures stuck on my wall. Got a cork board as well with football and Japan ticket stubs in amongst things I remind myself I need to do.

Isn't it funny how Final Fantasy regards bronze weapons as inferior to iron weapons, when in fact bronze is far superior to iron?

Silver and gold always struck me as pretty bad metals for making weapons and tools out of as well TBH. Too soft!

I've always sort of hated Conker's Bad Fur Day. It had horrible controls and an awful camera, and the humor consisted of poor/random movie spoofs, toilet humor and swearing (the kind of thing a five year old would find funny). I never understood why people think this game is so great. Compared to Rare's other platformers, it's pretty bad.

We have ourselves a sophisticated man! He's too good for toilet humor and movie spoofs! "Everybody's immature but me!"

Well,

Camera was bad but the controls were solid. I still love the great mighty poo. I thought it was a fun game but it's not my fave of Rares. Jet Force Gemini is.
