Actually it is true as it Freak Show is more of a show case for The Resident's music and writing than a game. It just happens to be on CD Rom. It was interesting, and I do like the art that has been involved in their videos and works thought I'm not too fond if their music after a certain period.

So I also responded to Sam. It's a little rushed, but I appreciate comments. My thing is I do not see why people consider The Path to be art or even substantial enough to have minor recognition.

I am not insulting your intelligence if you do nor am I attempting to attack you. I am simply stating why I do believe the opposite as articulately as possible.. with a little bit if humor to lighten the mood. Let me state again I do not think any one who liked this is a jerk I just question your motives.

So if any one would like to explain in kind why they think The Path is art or a substantial game, and do it in a way is not purely insulting then I would love to read it and will post it on my blog unedited. We can debate like friends. I immensely enjoy debate as long as it productive.

Let me stress two things: 1) I will take your argument on it's merit and its strengths and not our grammer or punctuation so let's lets keep it civil. 2) This is not a debate on gaming as art. It's about The Path and whether or not it is substantial on an intellectual level or other wise. So let's keep it focused. Send me a private message and I'll give you my email, and we can have productive debate. I would enjoy it.
