? quoting DrGlass
There is a reson that gameing is having a hard time being accepted as a main stream form of art, and s**t like this is it. People who cant make something good just tag on some boobs and sex to sell more copies of a s**tty game.

That statement is quite backwards. The reason gaming IS becoming an acceptable mainstream artform, hobby, profession, is the same reason boobs and sex are 'mainstream'. They bring in Money. It's big business now, and all bets are off. Gaming will be whored, marketed, 'buzz worded' until gaming as we know it is sucked as dry as television. It already is, actually.

That's the way it goes with art - vs - media. It's the dog chasing his own tail. The minute it becomes 'accepted' and 'mainstream', it loses that underground sense of rebellion or obscurity that made it cool in the first place. To a degree, that is. There will still be good games with soul, which are genuine works of art, that are also highly marketable and financially successful. Personally, I am looking forward to making 'mainstream' entertainment that secures my profession and financial future. Bring on the boobs. Maybe we can have our cake and eat it too, for a while

Yes, more cake for all!!

I think I remember seeing a female mapper for Unreal (she was pretty good too!); and then it turned out it was a guy who had some sex-change operations. Too bad I don't remember her website URL though! smiley

I agree with your point in general, but you chose a bad example. Diamonds *are* inherently special - they are the hardest known naturally occuring substance.

I just did a search on their forums....nothing was found when I typed in Half Life or unreal.......maybe they need to be challenged to a real game that requires skill, like HL2 DM, or Team DM, or even onslought.....snarkpit vs the frag dolls...hehe lets put them in Their place smiley

So what is this, the new trend? These are the spice girls of gamers, theres one type for everyone! I would not be surprised if these poor gals were put together by.. *looks at contact mail address. fragdolls at ubisoft d0t com* ubisoft.
This is an idea, instead of music groups that cant really sing you put together gaming groups that cant really play.

Excuse me if this has already been brought up in the thread, I only read the original post.

Gameing is becoming more mainstream, but at the same time it isn't accepted as a form of art like film. The more trash and smut that is put in games only to move product the less respected games will become.

These girls and their web site is cute, but they are in no way helping push gamming into a seriouse art form.

Well I'm doing my bit at Uni. For my major design project next session I'm trying to incorporate my mapping work, possibly concieve and create a small single player game. And this is in a Graphic Design subject. You'd be surprised how much game design is actually becoming a part of the Art and Design world.

While these kind of things may work against the public image of gaming amongst the general population, the significant merits of the industry are continualy being recognised and well recieved in the creative community. And besides, for the average population only painting and sculpture is classed as "Art", excluding web design, advertisements, graffiti and other alternative or emerging art forms. The thing that matters is that the community and the people that matter realise this fact, not joe six-pack.

? quoting satchmo
With rare exceptions, gaming will always be a male thing.

Thats not a true statement "IF" you take into account all forms of computer gaming.

For the most part, "action" gaming may be a predominantly male thing, but in general, I am betting that females actually out number the males in over-all computer games.

Females tend to play the "thinking" games such as tetris and those awful card games like solitaire. My wife plays majong almost exclusively, NOT an easy game to master i might add.

If one takes into account that there are more kinds of solitaire than there are any other genre (or so it seems) then I am betting that the female population does indeed out number their male counterparts.

The problem with this thread is, nothing but males are responding so its all very narrow thinking. Broaden your perspectives beyond "modern" games and the numbers will alter a bit.

Myrk must live in a veritable honey pot of female sexiness if he finds these ladies "ugly as sin"...but then perhaps this is just another case of over-exaggeration from our local quick-to-hate :P I'll agree that not all of them are wonderfully hot, and that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I don't see how any of them could be described as "ugly".

You know what I think Duncan? Master Myrk has been receiving some training for his adulthood life concerning the female persuasion. He already has the "blind eye to beauty" down.. When he finally does get married, he will already be preconditioned to not comment on the better looking females he is around smiley

Ultimately, if gaming is truly going to be recognized as an art form, it's going to be through the route of cinema. Video games and movies are already merging and collaborating. Just look at all the movies that were inspired by video games. True, most of them sucked, but some of them are actually quite decent (Final Fantasy). I know Tomb Raider and Resident Evil movies are garbage, so no need to point that out.

And conversely, tons of video games have been created from their cinematic counterpart. Goldeneye, all the Star Wars inspired games (including the Jedi Knight series) are actually very good games.

I threw the gauntlet to them. Now it's up to the chicks to stand up to the challenge.
