Golden Time episode six: Boy, that sure escalated quickly. I'm not exactly sure how what happened led to what happened, but, sure, keep it going, Golden Time, I'll watch. You have me along for the ride, for better or for worse.
Man the anime discussion thread fell all the way back to page 6. That's not cool.
Anyways I finally finished Steins;Gate after about 3 months of no spare time. It was amazing. Are Chaos;Head and Robotics;Note as good? Also does anybody know if they were released in english?
As someone who never understood the all the clamor over S;G, I will say I liked R;N a lot more than its awkward cousin. I remember liking Robotics;Notes in spite of its weird choice in pacing with which Steins;Gate shares. R;N is a people story that thoroughly earns all of its great moments through careful writing and genuine effort. It's distinctively different from S;G in almost every way, which I feel is for the better.
I never learned how to properly ride a bicycle, because the first time I tried I didn't know how to stop so my 8-year-old brain at the time decided that the best way to do that was to run the bike into a wall. Unfortunately, my 8-year-old brain also vastly underestimated the potential impact force since concepts like inertia and forward momentum were completely absent from it. When the bike hit the wall, it stopped and I lurched forward off the seat and slammed my junk right into the bike frame. I was forever barred from riding a bike ever again by my parents.
I think the OP is saying video games aren't art because art doesn't exist in a physical sense, that objects traditionally haled as works of art are the abandoned aftermaths of the artistic process, which the OP implies is true art because art only exists in the abstract and existential struggles of the human condition as we try to convey, define, or understand something that is perhaps beyond thought by giving it a physical manifestation in order to better appraise it. Art is a state of mind, and that's why the artist and viewer are both and neither because art cannot exist with only one or the other. In order words, art is people.
I guess that's... a way of looking at it.
Or, maybe I'm just reading it completely wrong, and my inner pretentious prick just decided to make a forum post.
