Now you're messing with a... (Instructional Audio 7)

The proverbial shit has hit the metaphorical fan.

I was attempting to get those raiders out of my place of residence again, mostly to get to the Audio tapes. Strange that they've kept me mostly alive throughout my days here. Not alive as in they feed and clothe me, but alive in the psychology sense.

As I was limping with my bandaged wounds towards the exit, I heard the following.

This is a response from Brandon Banton to Steven May, regarding Video Games in media. I personally am a firm believer in video games as an art form, as they've taken the base concepts of Media (art, music, cinematics) and thrown in their own mix (3D rendering, player control). These concepts alone are something that society looks at with pride and appreciation. When they are together, however, certain elitists in the newsmedia and the upper class tend to thumb their nose towards them. My question is why? Why turn down the prospect of combining art forms? Because of content? Because of the tendency to be loved by younger audiences?

In the end, I don’t think there’s anything beyond a complete discrimination towards these pieces of technology. It’s an apt metaphor for life in general, actually. We as a species thrive on elitism, the bitten-thumb towards those that are lesser than us. Art is apparently no exception.

Strong opinions from this boy.

I’m looking to free my hideout soon, because the bastards apparently have my audio tapes.

You can shoot me. You can steal my food. But you can’t take professor Steven May from me.
