rePost :: GameSetWatch – Opinion: Brian Moriarty's Apology For Roger Ebert

The title of this lecture, “An Apology for Roger Ebert,” may require a bit of clarification.
I’m not here to offer an apology in the sense of regret for anything done wrong.
This is an apology in the sense of a Greek apologia, the systematic defense of a position or opinion.
It’s a defense of Roger Ebert, the Pulitzer Prize winning film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times who, a little over five years ago, annoyed our industry by declaring that “video games can never be art.”
For those few of you unacquainted with this controversy, I’ll spend just a few minutes recounting what happened.
