It is certainly a big topic as to weather video games are art, and I'm sure a lot of people here will say that they are. But sometimes you have to state the obvious for people to see it, so without further adieu, we will examine what a game is made of. Music: I think almost all people will agree that this is art. Pictures/graphics: Also art, although a lot of games use stock images. 3D Modelling: Arguably art, I would say it is. You need to be quite creative to be good at this. Programming/technical aspects: Very debatable, you do need some creativity to program but it is usually not art. Story: Again, most people will agree that this is art. Marketing: Not really art. Design: Probably art. This includes maps, vehicles, sound placement etc. It is obvious that this is somewhat of an over simplification but I think it sums it up quite well, and even if it doesn't I think it suffices. So I think what can be drawn is that video games are not art, but a combination of many things. Some of which are art, and some not. This is not to say video games do not take a lot of talented people to make, and I have some of the utmost respect for people like Martin O'Donnell, Jason Jones, Markus Persson (Notch) and many others.

I owned a Halo forum (It was Bungie7.net, it is not up anymore though) and we had 200-300 active members. I think it was just a lack of new members that caused us to die off.

I came out to my parents as omnipresent and now they want me out of the house. I can't leave, as I am omnipresent. What do I do?

Just a heads up, huge sale on Steam right now. If there are any games you want grab them.

I've seen enough Hentai to know where this is going. Well, I'm screwed.

Sorry, I was very tired when I posted that.You're free not to watch them, than.

I don't follow you?

If anyone has the PC (master race ) version I will play with you. I'm Rainbow_Dash35 on Origin.

As a warning, a lot of these videos are very NSFW and graphic. I will probably be called an asshole for finding these funny, but you can't deny the people are kind of dumb for doing this. I won't deny that it's mean to do this, and some of the stuff is illegal (which I won't post here) but you can find it on YouTube. I also find it weird how prank callers like Ownage or FNC have millions of views while these only have a few thousand. Even if you hate them you can't deny they need more views. For the most part they have stopped, but back when they still made new phone calls (and Dex was not an idiot) I had wasted a lot of time in their room. There is some additional history to this but it's mostly pretty boring.

Taking a course on Flash. This should be fun.

The rules are as follows; take this sentence and change 1 word, the user below you will do the same thing. Once every word has been changed you may add a word. I have a nice bike. For example: And so on.

What kind of camera is that?! OT: Nice. I was once at the natural bridge in Kentucky.

AdSense is owned by Google, I can't see Google intentionally allowing malicious code into their ads.

1. If the placement is in the way of anything, contact the site owner.2. Don't click them. 3. If they are in the way you should say something. See 1. 4. Fair point, usually AdSense/other reputable ad companies won't though. 5. See point 4. 6. See point 4. 7. See point 4.

The worst thing I have ever done, I would rather not talk about. But the question is a bit vague? I have had some anger issues in the past, if that counts.

I just had my VPS DOS me. >.<

As Zoop said, "You have to be able to see an advertisement for it to actually accomplish anything as an advertisement." In theory, that means an AdBlocker could be made to block ads and still make AdSense, etc. think that you viewed them. Not saying that is good, just possible.

Love and Tolerate - Good Or Bad? *MATURE*

I don't think people have anything against reasoning with haters. Just make sure you know the difference between a hater and a troll. -
Now, to write a proper post. Some people go so far as to say that AdBlock is piracy. Most people who discourage it get a lot of dislikes (as you can see from this video) and I am sure most people do so because of a mob-mentality. That is the top comment, if you don't believe me. Now I would say it is a bit off to say it is piracy. He says in the video "Piracy is getting something without paying" but I don't think that makes much sense. Websites are publicly available, and a site owner should expect some bandwidth costs. That seems almost like blaming ICANN or IANA for directing users from your domain to your site. So in conclusion; you should not use AdBlock where ads are not intrusive but it should not be forced on someone. In the end, they own their own computer and they are allowed to decide what happens on it.

If ads go too far (YouTube, for example) or slow down loading to a large extent (Project Free TV) I will use one but on smaller sites I will White-List them. This is something I have done ever since I got ABP.
