Kang May 31, 2009 at 12:42 PM: Anything you want. It's our own blog. Just don't post inappropriate(games, etc.) or controversial (religion, politics, etc.) materials.
Anonymous May 31, 2009 at 8:11 PM: that was just what i was about to do (video game related)
Kang June 1, 2009 at 2:14 PM: You can post informations about games that are at least 12 years old.
Sheila June 2, 2009 at 11:06 AM: Wow, Kang-Rui, that's kind of unfair. o.O There's not much difference between 12-year-old games and new games.
Anonymous June 2, 2009 at 12:44 PM: -You know, much inspiration has come from video games that have only recently been released (i.e. in the past four years)

-Take a look at Bioshock. It was released in 2007, garnering rave reviews, with many critics citing that it trumps the old notion that "video games aren't art"

-If you actually took the time to play through the game and absorb everything that just occurred, you will understand what I am talking about. It deals with relevent social ideologies (particularly taking inspiration from Ayn Rand), and while you may not agree with its "inspirations," it must nonetheless be respected.

-Furthermore,the most critically-lauded video game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, wasn't even released 12 years ago (it was released on November 23, 1998).

-With everything presented to you, isn't there at least some room to make a few exceptions?
Kang June 2, 2009 at 1:53 PM: I understand the inspirations and the art of gaming. I myself is heavily loyal to a game. What I'm afraid is articles about gaming might destroy the possibility of having CAS hours. On the other hand, I want to protect the my own personal game from criticism and insult.
Kang June 2, 2009 at 1:53 PM: I'll ask Mr. Bryant more about it.
Anonymous June 2, 2009 at 9:20 PM: All I'm saying is that just in the past generation of video games (starting with the release of the Xbox 360 on November 22, 2005), there have been a blossoming of beautiful and intellectual pieces of "art."

For example, like i said before, Bioshock, but it also includes Super Mario Galaxy, Braid, and numerous others.

Oh, and if there was one category to be critically-lauded as art, it would be the RPGs, with such greats as Chrono Trigger, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy VII, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Kang June 4, 2009 at 9:30 PM: You forgot Lineage 2
