For the past thirty years movie critic Roger Ebert has been
the last word in box quotes. He can literally bite his thumb at you and make-or-break your film. So in 2010,
when he came out on the Chicago Sun-Times blog and declared that video
games could never be art, you can imagine the schism that followed within the nerd
community.
Now, I realize that geeks and games have always been
synonymous. The two share an almost symbiotic relationship in the cultural
development of untold millions of adolescent young boys and girls the world
over, myself included.
Film buffs are a different story.
