Why can't you take video games seriously?
I can! The other day I was high as a kite being flown by another kite and I had a lengthy conversation about how Super Mario and Legend Of Zelda shaped me and my childhood. And I realized, midway through this recollection, that video games can totally be art. How does one look at something so beautiful, expansive and imaginative as The Legend Of Zelda and say it’s not art? I’m sure there are plenty of games around now that are art, but I choose not to game very much because it takes up such an extraordinary amount of time, and I have too many other hobbies that require my attention.
