Blake Roberts
And how is this nigger, or any nigger really, qualified to judge?
Josiah Diaz
>video games will never be as kino as Kazaam
Adrian Garcia
Based Shaq

you people got issues
William Cook
He is right. Through out all the remakes and remasters the original art is always lost. Art is made through limitations and can't be replicated.
Sebastian Clark
Isn't this the ebert quote?
Samuel Barnes
t. nigger
James Price
You don't even know what that word means
Matthew Torres
No, Shaquille O'Neal said that.
Lucas Gray

Brody Robinson
>no video gamer now living will survive long enough to experience the medium as an art form. >Was he right? I'll tell you when I'm dead.
Cameron Lewis
Yeah, well according to Shaq, IcyHot is an artform
Jacob Adams
The only people who ever wanted video games to be art were insecure hipsters.
They were effete androgynous faggoteer journalists trying to stave off the embarrassment they felt for playing vidya and encouraging the stagnation of gameplay in favor of “””cinematic””” experiences.
So yes I think Ebert was right, and I’m glad he was. We should be happy that he has eternally flustered these fucking wastes.

Typical n-person, Stealing a quote from Joe Rogaine.
Lol, you retards really think Shaq cares about games? This is Ebert's Quote.
You took the bait

He did say it though faggot. Quit trying to mislead people with your bullshit.
Landon Cox
whatever happened to that new shaq fu anyway
Jack Ramirez
Not reading all that but video games are not art
Jayden Bailey
Prove it
Connor Richardson
I can see children 100 years from now enjoying Todd's masterpiece of Skyrim
Lucas Rodriguez
He's right and thats why Shaq Fu is more than just a videogame, its an experience unrivaled.
Julian Lewis
show me proof that Shaquille O'Neal himself said this this is a copy-paste of what some other guy said but this time it's Shaq what he said
Luis Clark
The only video games he can probally name is Madden, NBA, Mario, and Call of Duty.

I like how this meme gets more ludicrous every time and idiots still fall for it.

He actually owns part of NRG eSports who play Fortnite, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, Smite, Hearthstone, For Honor, Rocket League and Vainglory.

>Only the Jew knew that by an able and persistent use of propaganda heaven itself can be presented to the people as if it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented as if it were paradise. The Jew knew this and acted accordingly. But the German, or rather his Government, did not have the slightest suspicion of it. During the War the heaviest of penalties had to be paid for that ignorance. >- Shaquille O'Neal wow shaq is really opinionated isn't he?
Gavin Edwards
White folks was in the caves while we was building empires. We built pyramids before Donald Trump even knew what architecture was. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it. Do some cracker come and tell you, 'Well my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,' you better hold your pocket. That ain't nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was crooks.
Tyler Clark
OHHHHH UHHH UHHH. WHATCHU MEAN YOU PEOPLE
Brayden Wilson
>Shaq >a nigger How fucking dare you
Carson Peterson
Well none of those games are artistic, so I see why.
Carson Gray
Since when was Shaq an art critic? People only give a damn about his opinion because he was famous... ten or so years ago.
Anyway, games are art by most definitions. It's been recognised as such by several organisations and countless individuals- which really shouldn't even be necessary to qualify anything as art, frankly. moma.org/collection/works/164920
Also, who cares? Saying that something is good because it's 'Art' doesn't mean as much as it used to, and works of art shouldn't need to rely on popular opinion to be influential. You'd have to be delusional to deny that games have a far greater impact on culture than mainstream art does nowadays.
This board has gotten increasingly more politicized in the last three years. Why's that? Any thread or game that even tangentially is related to blacks or a black person is met with cringey responses people who watch too much Millennial Woes or Alternative Hypothesis.
Parker Scott
depends on your definition of art ok bye
Oliver Collins
Why should i give a fuck about what some has been baseball player has to say?
Jaxon Thomas
the quote isn't by shaq. you've been baited.

Shaquille O'Neal has a doctorate in education.

Ebert and Shaq are the same person anyway.

Was he right?
Alexander Reyes
Carrot Top ain't looking so hot these days.
Lucas Lee
Bait
Joshua Scott
Wasn't he funding a Shaq-fu remake some years ago? Whatever happened to that?
Noah Allen
Y'all niggas, especially the giant one, are mistaken about the notion of games being art. The game itself is not art, but the way you make it. Hundreds of thousands lines of code working in tandem with millions of polygons, countless generated or hand drawn sprites, musical scores, sound effects, motion and voice acting to form an incomprehensible amount of dynamic scenes which qualify as their own multiverse.
That is the art we're talking about.
Taking a shit and calling it Kazaam isn't art either. But being a dumb nigger from the hood who uses his potential to dominate a sport, builds a business and makes movies on the side while getting revered as a god even by whites, is art.
Oliver Bell
Too bad shaq-fu was literally the first vidya kino.
