DJ Dain - Don't Worry, I'm Yours (Jason Mraz vs. Bobby McFerrin vs. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)
"According to Jason Rohrer, the reason for this is simple: “Ebert’s right.” Games suck. Game companies have spent so many years trying to make skulls explode complexly and water ripple prettily that they haven’t invested any time in learning how to make games that are as emotionally dense as the best novels and films. Most games are a waste of time. Soulless. Empty. Rohrer is far from the only game-maker who believes this. In fact, a growing number of game-makers in positions of power at large companies — Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, etc. — aren’t interested in continuing to defend the industry against its critics. Because, one, it’s hard to see how the critics are wrong, hard to see how Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV aren’t what they seem to be. Murder simulators. Really fun murder simulators. And, two, if you’re a middle-aged game-maker and you’re going to see Children of Men on the weekend with your wife and kids and getting your mind blown, you hit a point where you want to do something better, more important, than making blood flow realistically."
