Backstory: Roger Ebert famously said that video games would never be art.

roger ebert is a grumpy old man
a brilliant but grumpy old man
he's never played a video game
and yet he criticizes all the same
he's a supreme court justice on a sexting case
he's out of his element never is a long time 

when it comes to film, he's got eloquence and heart
on the subject of video games it all falls apart
he's got no frame of reference, can't support any of his claims
he's never played ico or even super mario bros.
