Talk:Hunt the Pixel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2010_December_28#Hunt-the-pixel

Gonna break down and add computer games articles. Many will hate this. But that is kind of the point. Not that I want to inconvenience anyone, it is just that there is a widespread prejudice (in the sense of judging something before knowing all the facts), and on WP, systemic bias (with the result of comp games articles being really in an atrocious situation), against video games.

They are violent. They stimulate the acquisitive instinct without giving actual content as a reward. But they do not have to be. This is proven by the rare exceptions. Ultimately, I see vid games as the next incarnation of storytelling in the continuum: Play, film, TV, video games. And it is not coincidence that actors in plays were once looked down on society, whereupon they gradually became famed and respected, whereupon film was looked down upon, etc.

This particular article is a game mechanics article, which means that it discusses games in much the same way that an article about chess moves discusses chess.Anarchangel 09:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
