So there are only rabid ninty-fanboys and hardcore bitter fanboy haters?

You don't see a possibility of a game critic actually being educated and informed before they write?

That's how film critics do it.  They actually go to school.

I love this idea, I do, and I would love for it to be acceptable, but studying video games as art is only something that designers do right now. The gaming press would have to go though a video game education at something like Digipen in order to appreciate games as art.

Also I'd prefer them to be educated in literature, too, so they at least understand different schools of criticism.

I saw you making zings in another thread about how we don't need to worry about critical theory because the medium's too young, and it cracked me up.

What did you study or what are you studying in school?

ENGLISH LITERATURE AAAAAUGH
