Ridiculous Drama In The Video Game/Artist/Movie Critic World

Seriously, if the Ebert thing bothered you: shut the hell up. It's not that I LOVE Ebert - nor do I really dislike him. He is to me: just a guy doing his job and giving his opinion which a lot of you fail to realize you insist on him hearing yours (endlessly) but can't fathom the brain power to acknowledge his: nor the fact that it is nothing more beyond that: his opinion. Even if he says it in absolution with no hint of doubt: it doesn't become facts. Ebert is neither a graphics guy, nor a gamer guy. He's a movie critic.
Honestly though, that matters little in lieu of the fact that it doesn't matter. Beyond forcing your hands into making billions of meaningless forum topics - the games and art have survived. Personally? He makes some good points. I'm never going to inspired in a way by Video Games that I am by art. Does that make them "not-art"? The answer is simple:
Who the fuck cares? There's serial killers who think their cannibalism is art - I disagree: where's your defense for those whackos?
If a movie critic can put your entire world into disarray - maybe the internet isn't the place for you.

P.S. 7:15AM post. Enjoy the typos. No I won't fix them. If they bother you, you should probably write an angry letter.
