A remark on the "Flower" game:
Is the game scored? She doesn't say. Do you win if you're the first to find the balance between the urban and the natural? Can you control the flower? Does the game know what the ideal balance is?
Which really does show just how close-minded he is on video games. He's not even approaching looking at them as art, he's just looking for the Win.
I wonder if he judges art by the same standards. Is it scored? Does poking the painting make it change colors? No? I guess it's not art, then.
