If you've ever played a Key release other than Planetarian and enjoyed it, you are a creeping pestilence that should be exterminated for the good of humanity.

If you tried to hold a woman in your arms while wearing the Advanced Power Armor Mark II, you'd crush her like a gorilla with a kitten.

Something occurred to me on the way home earlier.

The Fallout game series could possibly be considered to be one of the better examples of a game series being art. Now bare with me for a moment as I explain where my thoughts led me.

It is said that for something to be art it has to exist for nothing more then itself. To deliberately be made in whatever medium the artist desires to express certain emotions or ideals. It doesn't have to exactly look good, modern art has plenty of ugly pieces of work that exist to bring out certain emotions and nothing else.

To apply this to each of Bethesda's games we have to keep in mind that they didn't program Fallout with us in mind, thye designed their games based entirely on what they wanted out of a non-traditional RPG, their ideal FPSRPG. They made it entirely for that purpose and then went on to show others to see if they would feel the same way. They have kept the series close to their art and done all the work theirselves, the art, the music, the programming, all Bethesda's to make what they want to express without selling it out to be mass produced.

Granted, it can be argued it's not quite art. After all, it still serves the purpose of a game to many and doesn't stand alone on it's own to just be looked at and enjoyed, but I feel it comes closer then many. It's work a lone studio put effort into not to make money, but because they wanted a game exactly to their specifications. Each further game follows their whims and desires. I'd say it's a pretty close example, laughingly poor pictures aside.

Picture related, it's Bethesda's soul on paper. I for one think it's beautiful.

Sorry, I don't spend a great deal of time playing "dodge the brightly colored dots." I spend most of my time playing actual games, like fallout 3.

Sounds... Familiar...

Did someone say Armageddon?
