Can't wait to listen to this!  Thanks Toady.

The very fact that people would be motivated to say that video games are not art is all the proof I need to know that video games are art.

That's some fairly dangerous logic.  After all, I would say the used tissue on my desk beside me is not art... does that prove you would want to buy it and hang it on your wall?

1) You're not people, you're a person. .
2) There is lots of art I wouldn't want on my wall.

People communicate in memes, what else could spawn the viral thought of something not being art besides it being art? There isn't a meme that used tissue isn't art. No one feels the need to share that information.

Now you're just moving the goalposts... 

[devek]

I didn't move the goalpost..

You were not motivated to say a used tissue wasn't art (except to prove a point.. but not outside of that)

[Dakk]

Woo finally combat gets some love, I'll gladly listen to this.

[existent]

Every time I open it windows crashes

Yay! I was starting think the talks fell by the wayside, as always an interesting listen.

Spoiler: derail (click to show/hide)

My used tissues are always artfully arranged.  I consider each crumple and fold for thier individual textures and directions.  I carefully examine the quality of the "use" which was applied to the tissue, and how it relates to the crumples and folds.  The final touch that makes it art is where it is placed within the world surrounding me.  I say my tissues are artworks and so they are.

Just learn one simple thing from the last paragraph and your previous babble.  Art like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder.

There's actually a case where it very much matters whether the sieger or the mount is doing the thinking.

[Untelligent]

Can't wait to read this! Thanks, Toady.

4:17 minutes in and now we going to have imperial guards in dwarf fort.
15:00 fighting game mechanic + custom reaction = human launch a kick to your mid body you tech hit the attack, you throw a punch to human head, it connects! human caught in flames! human head sails in a arc.

[Vattic]

Cool, wasn't expecting this at all.

I had totally forgotten about DF Talk, good to see it's back!
