=D

Tony Hawk can make Skate Boarding look like an art, when he pulled the 900 it was amazing, doesn't mean Skate Boarding is art.

When I trash people around in Marvel vs Capcom 2 you could call that level of butt wooping amazing that I mean their jobbing look like an art but it doesn't mean Marvel vs Capcom 2 is an art.

=D Yes I just wanted to make clear my dominance in MvC in light of MvC 3 being announced.

You're referring to actions, not to a medium. Nobody, I should think, claims that the act of playing games is an art.

I would make an argument that several of the courses on which Tony Hawk skates are works of art, and I would argue that MvC is the end result of a long artistic endeavour.

 

I wonder what Mr. Ebert would so, oh nvm.

 

By the by: Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.

By the standard definition of art Tony Hawk just counteracted nature with the 900 ^_^. To the human thought that is amazing, it can motivate and yada-yada.

But who cares about Tony Hawk, Spider Man in my hands is regular Michaelangelo. ^_^
