This is gonna be awesome.
I finished watching it. I dont even know what to write. I dont feel like I can write a comment thats on the same level as this video. But you really made your point across for video games being art and I agree. Also, as for the over the hedge game. You succeeded. You made atleast 1 person think about playing it. As of now, I have no idea what to type about my personal experiences. I might come back and make this message even longer though if I come up with a great experience I had with something.
