I don't even mind that, if the artist intended it to be referring to his stuff.
Its not so much referring to his stuff as the artist going "Oh, so THAT's what everything means."
Its creating a meaning that doesn't actually exist in the real world but some guy says is there so the author goes and writes about it because "Well he said it exists!"

I got sick of the art world quick. Especially conceptual art.
In New York, Florida, and North Carolina where I used to observe art people, most of them held onto the same air of pseudo-intellectual (often financially-driven) pretentiousness.
Back when I first started dealing with conceptual art, I couldn't understand what the Stuckists' problem was. But now I can see that the biggest bullshitters are often the most well-known, successful conceptual artists. And sure, there are some conceptual artists with truly important, educated, and well thought-out things to say; but those few are dragged down by so many charlatans.

So to put in SAT answer format:
Freud is to pretentious idiots as The Da Vinci Code is to regular idiots.

What a pile of garbage.
Shhh, if anyone hears you, this thread is going to turn into another angry and futile "What is Art?" debate again!
I guess with the first person perspective, I could just set the camera to face forward and turn the sound off so it just looks like Gordon's crouched and bobbing back and forth for a couple minutes during the cutscenes.
I just hope nobody walks in and asks why the HUD keeps saying I'm getting damage from behind.
All the stuff I'm reading says per page. The artists guild handbook says $55-$200. Some people in the internets are saying Marvel starts pencil artists at $100/page.
The debate is basically me trying to convince my friend that artists can in fact do art full time.
Last night we were debating whether or not conflict is necessary element of storytelling. We don't have very productive discussions.

was he yay or nay on conflict?
also... 100 per page doesn't sound like that much... are marvels biweekly? or do most artists do multiple series?
He was nay. He says conflict just creates stress on the audience. I'm...pretty sure he's mildly retarded or something. I really should know better. We had just finished watching "The cube" or something and he was talking about "I don't see why they need to kill people in movies. That just stresses people out."
And I would imagine that most artists probably have side projects, other books, their own commission work, etc going on at any given time.
Yeah My Neighbor Totoro is great because there are really no bad people. Parents are encouraging and aren't seen as oppressing the children's imaginations.

It's basically the way the world should be. Which is why it was paired with Grave of the Fireflies in initial release in Japan.
DDV every time you mention a story involving one of your friends they are trying to commit suicide, or going to jail, or sitting in a car staring into space for hours, or just saying really stupid shit constantly
I am baffled that you haven't gone nuts and shot up a mall because your family/social circle is 100% composed of numbnuts
Every story has conflict. Conflict moves a story forward... it doesn't have to be an obvious physical encounter, it can be anything from an internal struggle to a conflict with the elements.

fffff.
The three I can see being a coincidence, but I seriously doubt the lamba symbol is. Or it could just be Valve messing with us.
Damnit why do I have to get my hopes up nggrrh...
God I hope it's not a fluke.
Though maybe this explains why Gordon never reacts to Alyx's not-very-subtle advances.

And why Saxton Hale's name is an anagram of hot anal sex. :winky:

Name me one story that contains no conflict whatsoever that has found an audience.

Your description is spot on, and I said the same thing. I even challenged him to tell me any story, and I could point out the conflict in it.
War and Peace
edit: also the Teletubbies
Kiki's delievery service?
(note I haven't watched the movie)
She loses her power halfway through the movie, can't figure out why for a good while.
Kiki faces heavy internal conflict, as well as pressure to adapt to the world around her. BOOM
edit: The closest real answer I can think of is My Neighbor Totoro. There was no antagonist, except for the mother's illness.
AH that's the one i was thinking off.
All those movies by that director that i haven't seen blur together.
It's basically the way the world should be. Which is why it was paired with Grave of the Fireflies in initial release in Japan.
I really wish Netflix had been around back when I saw it, because then I could have just rented it instead of buying it.
Not because it's not a great movie, but holy shit I don't think I could bring myself to watch it ever again, it's so sad.

It's the most heart-rending movie I've ever seen
edit: to epic trailer music fans- Two Steps From Hell are making quality product
