I do have a sense of humour. I swear. Trouble is, I'm not sure it's twisted enough to fathom the magnitude of ludicrousness we've been exposed to.
It's a bit my fault. I took another look at the whole "games ain't art" affair, and noticed that our dear Kellee Santiago played some prime role in it.

That's all there is about Ernest Adams’ article titled The Designer's Notebook: Sandbox Storytelling.
The more I read about him, the more he just looks like a fraudster to me, a self appointed theorist on game design and video games as a whole.
