I'm doing a panel on my show on whether or not video games are mainstream. It was easy to find people who say they aren't. Finding people who have the supposedly mainstream idea that video games are art has been a gigantic hassle. I'm not sure if most people who say it don't really have conviction on it or they're just on edge going on a show thats discussed psychedelic nazi porn.

Any ways I've seen people shout on forums that video games are art, but discussing it somewhat professionally on a panel seems to be too much commitment to the idea. I'm a tad disappointed here.

Well anyone on Giant Bomb Willing to Defend the idea?
