Forum Overview :: Are Games Art?
 
Likewise! by The New York Times 06/09/2007, 1:32pm PDT
Sometimes media makes references to events that are current at the time, but fail hard as fuck to be current in the future.

Game reviewers at the 2000 E3 convention SHOULD have been talking about Bioshock or Halo 3, not some bullshit that came out in 2001 (pft). Also, what's wrong with the fuckers at the JEW YORK TIMES circa 1944? Don't they know that in 2007 we are no longer be storming the beaches of France? This failure to remain topical as time marches on is the fatal flaw in both news and reviews.

The real question is, how can internet video game cartoonists like this "Phun#zea Cardade" get it so WRONG when so many others (Garfield, Family Circus, Hagar the Horrible) get it so RIGHT?
