The photo you have chosen of Roger Ebert is what makes it!

I don’t always agree with Ebert but I sure as hell respect his thought process.

Games are a legitimate phenomenon. They do indeed make a social statement – many, in fact.

A considerable number of gamers need to get a more balanced and objective perspective on their personal relationship with gaming. If that statement angers you at all, you’re probably one of them.

All I get out of this is that Ebert dosen’t like games… and so why then does he go on so about them?

The Barker-Ebert exchange proves two things. First, Barker is an intellectual lightweight compared to Ebert (and a lot of other folks as well). Barker just gets mauled here. Second, William just doesn’t get it. I am afraid William and Barker have been gaming too long.

Seriously, Ebert’s been a moron since before i was born. If its not black and white French Noir, its crap to him, end of story.

Very critical of one of our great critics, and although I don’t agree with him, I think that Ebert has definitely earned more respect than what you have given him. He gave some very good replies to Barker.

Whether you agree or not with Ebert or Backer comes second when you defame and start getting all personal.
I admire Roger Ebert as a film reviewer and it’s true that he knows little about videogames, but that does not mean he is uneducated or moronic, nor he needs medical attention. I do not know, William, why you have to write in such way, in a tone I do not find in any of Ebert’s answers, and that discredits your opinions.
I doesn’t matter if videogames can be art or not if we cannot even respect each other.
