Are you an artist ? what do you think of videogames, tv shows, etc
what do you think of all those videogames nowadays, that look so good; how do you think their creators made it so ? must be really efficient artists behind those .
I'm an avid gamer myself, but feel that the gaming industry (certainly on the AAA level) is still much too focused on profitability. Although the medium sure has artistic potential--and there are dozens of examples I love not only for the entertainment they offer--it still has a long way to go. For over a year now I've been writing on my own time in the hopes that the result might bring more of music, literature and philosophy into a game, coupled to its unique asset of interactivity.
What do video games have to do with me being a artist? I don't do video games...I think they are a stupid waste of time. Just like being here.

I never play video games, nor (since the question mentions it) do I have a television, but I do admire the imagination and skill in both art and programming that goes into the best game artwork even when the subjects are not to my taste. As well as the visuals, is some very good music now composed specially for these games.
It's come a long way from the chess-game on my Amstrad PCW9512, which produced a pictorial view looking down at an angle onto the board and pieces as you would view the real thing, on the computer's coarse-grained monochrome monitor
