    ShawnElliott: @Greenspeak How much are tickets?

    ShawnElliott: Hell Yeah: http://bit.ly/8Zh6RD RT@tole_cover

    ShawnElliott: @nickhalme I wish I remembered who made it for me.

    ShawnElliott: Although the original rule-based competition persists, the associated forms aren't precluded from achieving art. (far-fetched hypothetical)

     

  • 02:06:49 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Suppose dance started as a rule-based competition for mates, and later expanded to encompass all forms of dance now in existence.

    ShawnElliott: His dismissal of games without rules as "representations of a story" hints at the shell game. @chespace

     

  • 01:59:29 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: @chespace No, he's playing a shell game with semantics.

     

  • 01:49:05 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: @chespace Exactly

     

  • 01:26:08 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: @chespace Are you saying that I'm debating the semantics or that Ebert is?

     

  • 01:23:56 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: @MikeDunbar I'm not addressing you with "you." Rather his hysterically tweeting detractors.

     

  • 01:21:38 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Which is why arguments between unread 20-year-olds and a 67-year-old who refuses to try games are so silly.

     

  • 01:20:10 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: And you can counter that a 67-year-old who hasn't played a game perpetuates mistaken assumptions about games.

     

  • 01:18:51 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: He could, however, correctly argue that a 20 year old who hasn't read a novel carries mistaken assumptions about literature.

     

  • 01:16:50 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: To argue that @ebertchicago is too old to grasp games allows him to counter that you are too young to appreciate art.

     

  • 01:14:10 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Nor does the fact that some games have rule sets disqualify them from artistic status.

     

  • 01:14:04 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: The fact that several forms of art other than sculpture occur across time does not negate sculpture's standing as art.

     

  • 01:06:09 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: The slippery semantics of "art" and "games" aren't helping anymore than his dismissal of games without rules as "representations of a story"

     

  • 01:02:13 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Answering the latter in the negative will not tell us whether a positive answer to the former is likelier to arrive in 5 or 500 years.

     

  • 01:00:34 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Whether games as a category can support art, and whether a currently existing game can compare with the great poets are separate concerns.

     

  • 12:56:14 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: It seems that @ebertchicago is intent on conflating two questions.

     

  • 12:54:20 am on April 20, 2010 |

    ShawnElliott: Engaging in @ebertchicago 's game of "My art can beat up your art" is cliche, but I'll argue a bit against my better judgment.
