Welcome back, gentle reader. This week, I have something interesting to discuss. Some of you may be aware that there have been attempts in state congresses to censor video games. I am, naturally, against such legislations, but not just because I like the way shooting someone in the head makes a Rorschach blot in the air for a split second (I usually see butterflies).

I make it no secret that I think gaming is growing into an art form. Over the two decades since I have been alive, games have made a movement from thirty-minute diversions to vast, epic tales that can take one hundred hours or more to play out.

I've given this rant before, I'm sure no one needs to see my eccentric views on gaming as an art once more, but here is the point: I'm backing whomever votes down gaming censorship laws, but not without price. In my mind, video-games are still just entertainment, and in order for me to back its protection under the First Amendment, I have to believe that I can be something more. This falls on the Gaming Industry. The challenge has been sounded. I am against censorship because I believe that games can be art, but it's up to the industry to prove me right.

Happy V-Day,
Zac
