LOPIK: to mas recht

Možná budu trochu protivnej, ale dost často mi přijde že ty umělci co sem linkujete jejich díla, hry snad vůbec nehrajou.. mě přijdou hry podobný médium jako film, kde jde taky dělat umění, ale pořád se nemůže zapomínat na řemeslnou stránku věci a určitý pravidla. Při jejich porušení to pak prostě není hodnotná nebo dobrá hra i kdyby za ní stála sebelepší myšlenka, ale spíš nějaký paskvil/umění pro umění.. (např. ta Naked Game, kde hraje Pong počítač sám proti sobě s tim, že je ukázanej kód - stejný umění bylo v tom případě každý druhý ABC, z kterýho se opisovali nějaký žížaly do PMD, jenom že si to o tom nikdo nemyslel..)
I když tahle nepochopitelnost (nebo možná prvoplánovitost) navenek je v současný době problémem asi většiny moderních uměleckých směrů takže se není čemu divit...

KHALAVERA: tady máš za odměnu jednu hru: http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/04/freeware_game_pick_ad_nauseam.html

... pokud vůbec :)

KHALAVERA: áha, snad tak nečiní jen jednou za rok...

MAHISH: pochybuju, že to bude na torrentu... spíš počkat až zas bude Sage mít měsíc otevřených časopisů :)

KHALAVERA: Nicméně Do you believe in magic? Computer games in everyday life a Ruling the virtual world: Governance in massively multiplayer online games mě docela lákaj musím říct. Zkusim torrent?

MAHISH: není, ale některé univerzity a knihovny tam mají předplacený přístup

KHALAVERA: to ale není zdarma:(

Čekám, kdy se něco takovýho objeví tady, např. v Bělehradě ( http://napon.org/content/blogsection/0/9/ ) se koná výstava na tohle téma.

ale o hraní si, takže to je jedno:)

aha, tak ten festival asi nebude zrovna přímo o hrách :)

KHALAVERA: ale psy baštěj určitě pořád stejně:P

...takže na to masi něco bude!

"The Naked Game"
The worlds first piece of online conceptual video game art
"Welcome to the Naked Game. What you are seeing is a primitive version of 'Pong', being played by two artificial intelligences, with the entire code governing the mechanics of the game exposed below it, and the variables affecting the mechanics to the right. Furthermore, you can remove lines of code and see the effects in real time.

The motivation behind this piece was to further explore the degree to which video games can be considered 'Art', by using the constituent parts of a well known gaming experience to explore themes of freedom, restriction, and frailty."
