This house believes that video games will surpass film and TV output as a superior art form* within the next century (if it hasn't done so already).

*make of that what you will

If TV keeps going at this pace, fat chance.

"Surpass" is a weird term to think in in this context.

There are shitty games, shitty movies, brilliant games, brilliant movies and everything in between. Video games can be art, as much as movies and television can be not art.

Did films surpass literature as a superior art form at some point? Did music surpass painting? Seems like a strange way of thinking.

Oh yeah. IBTHegel.
