The Artist is Present is a game about waiting in line at a museum

GOTY for sure.

is this multiplayer? like can i see some other lonely dude next to me? or am i just waiting to find other people waiting.

I can smell the pretentiousness from here.

There's video games as art, and then there's video games as 'art'. This falls into the latter category, for sure.

Pff. That's nothing. My exhibit is one where you wait in line to play this game as long as you want.

Coming soon

Paying Taxes: The Game

The Museum is closed! Guess I'll have to come back tomorrow

I can't wait for the sequel: "Watching Paint Dry: THE GAME".

Berserker, no! Don't be so mean! It's Sunday and a big gaming event just happened last week so the gaming news is going to be a bit slow. Also, her writing is enjoyable to read so I don't really see why she should be fired?

@Grimcicle
Dude what the hell do you have against her?

@Grimcicle If you're TRULY wondering how factual this post is, click the link. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that you're just trolling though...

@Grimcicle
Someone majored in Crayola.

@Grimcicle You think that's why she deleted your comment? She's been doing this all through history. Kings are killed. Politics is power, nothing more! Oh, don't take my word for it, don't believe me. Do your own work, your own thinking.

The organizing principle of any blog is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers. Ms. Conditt wanted to end the Cold War in his second term. She wanted to call off the moon race and cooperate with the Soviets. She signed a treaty to ban nuclear testing. He refused to invade Cuba in 1962. She set out to withdraw from Vietnam. But all that ended on the 22nd of November, 1963.

Why? The how and the who is just scenery for the public. Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia. Keeps 'em guessing like some kind of parlor game, prevents 'em from asking the most important question, why? Why was your comment deleted? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?

Be honest, your only chance is to come up with a case. Something, anything. Make arrests, stir the shit storm, hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of people coming forward, then the government will crack. Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth - and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.

Oh come on! Lost in Translation is awesome!

@Grimcicle
u mad?

Eh, I'll wait for the spin-off version "Waiting for Two Hours At a Fancy Foreign Restuarant: The Game"
The tagline is "And the waiters still treat you like shit"

@Grimcicle

So she got death metal and nu metal mixed up. Alert the presses, please.

I'm with Matt. Lost In Translation is a great movie!

Fun to see this written up on Joystiq - thanks! - the press on this game has come as a complete surprise. Nice to see the range of reactions, too. Maybe I can reskin the game as Waiting At A Snooty Restaurant some time...

@Grimcicle

Jess didn't delete that comment thread, I did. It was unproductive and did not contribute to the discussion at hand, which was Silent Hill: Downpour and its trailer.

Additionally, we're a video game blog, not a music site. The minutiae of 90s metal is not something we painstakingly fact check, nor will it ever be. KORN's genre classification had no impact on the post.

If you have an issue with something on the site, you can e-mail our Editor in Chief at chris at joystiq dot com. If you honestly think someone is doing that bad of a job, write a letter to the editor and keep it out of the comments.

This is your first and only warning. Keep comments on topic, and you'll retain your ability to comment. Have a nice night.

@Grimcicle

Have a nice night.

They had a similar exhibit at last years Nuit Blanche here in Toronto.

Needless to say, I didn't wait in line very long.

I happened to go to the MOMA when this was happening. I didn't wait in line to stare at her but I did see some of her other "art". She had one video of a man and woman facing each other and screaming at each other. Supposedly thats art. Another piece of "art" she did with a partner was to start at opposite ends of the great wall of China and walk til they met in the middle.
I like art mind you, a good painting, a nice piece of music, etc. but this stuff? "Modern" art? It's crap.
