    Finished voting

    Some titles I chose for artistic merit, but I must admit some were chosen cause they were dear to my heart.

    Also what the FUCK could there be more MARIO titles?

    And not a single fighter in the whole lot, there are some huge mistakes in game selection IMO.

    Like Tony Hawk? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, put SSX Tricky in that Slot PLZKTHX

    I'm pretty upset because organizing things like this is my dream-career-path and I hope to be doing things like this in the future and feel like I should be on the team that is putting this together or something.

    But hey, I voted. I hope my votes get through, also I'd love to experience this.

    Video games? Art!? *hurumph*

    But yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw an article about this was that we'd have to have this conversation again.

    Yeah, creating a video game is no less-artistic than making pottery or writing a screenplay or taking photographs of things.

    Games are art.

    Now they're going to the Smithsonian.

    End of argument.

    sorry but for something to be art is has to pass through a complicated series of bullshit that I just made up that makes it impossible for videogames to be art because dammit I'm older than you and I didn't just spend 10 years painting colored squares in prague (do you even know where prague is) just so some plebians can make cheap chinese electric toys for nerds and i know art when I see it and videogames aren't art so there

    like Mario Galaxy 2?

    really

    That seems like they're just showcasing their newest games in some areas. Others not so much but TONY HAWK GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

    The one thing I really noticed is that the big stand up arcade full size versions of the games aren't up there, only the home versions.
    Like Pac-Man at home? Suck.
    Pac-Man at the arcade next to the movie theater in the mall? That was it.
