Well, Ron, what can I say....
I was always dubious about too much enthusiast discussions on games being art. I have had and continue to have so much fun and feelings with videogames (sometimes I cried with them, too....) but I was never convinced about them being "art". Dunno, maybe it's because I'm accustomed to think about "art" as something different from things like "fun" and direct interaction by the "viewer", or simply because I always thought games were better than art without even being aware of this thought....
Anyway I found your keynote inspiring (too bad I was in the wrong part of the world to attend it :-P) and, as for the "videogaming art" thingy, a refreshing point of view. Oh, and obviously DeathSpank looks very promising :-P
