..art..games!!

Gaming has been the new thing for a while now. I heard recently that pro gamers hire people in China to take them through the easy stages of the games to pass it on to them for the later stages that are more fun and new!

anyway..I digress, some very cool art ideas are being produced with games. Two that caught my eye: Cory Arcangel's Super Mario Clouds, a simple but cool play on old favorite..even cooler is Velvet Strike, virtual 'tags' that you can add to the game, Counter-Strike. I don't play the game but the idea of you and I tagging video games with grafitti kinda made me go, hm? Must mention that Velvet Strike originally started as a protest to Bush's war on terrorism..
