Are Video Games Art?

[Fullmetal]

I'm sure a good chunk of you have heard of the nostalgia critic(for those of you who haven't, google it. funny stuff). Recently he has been making video commentaries. Granted they have been kind of non-sensical(Why is Loki so hot?) but the most recent video he put out was one of the best things I think he has put out so far.

I'm sure somewhere you have come across someone who has poo-pooed video games as mindless entertainment. Give that video a watch. It'll make you think of video games a little differently(at least I hope it will) and give you some way to respond to whoever may pose that statement.
