Well, I guess I have found a source to back our claim, or at least my claim, that video games are a staple of new media, and possibly our culture. Several video game experts (historians, designers, and journalist), have started to attempt to preserve video games. Much like the film preservation act passed in the late 80's, the library of congress would preserve a canon of the best video games ever.

Addendum - Just found this short

Lets do a little play by play.

1. I started making out with both of em when Grace was talking about the bookcase. I got kicked out.

2. I stayed for about 30mins, tried to get Grace to hook up with me, didn't work. Trip caught me making out with her and he kicked me out. This game is boring.

Why would I want to play a game about helping a fighting couple get back together? But besides that, they respond decently to my comments:

TRIP
Well, it's impressive... even after a full day's work designing magazine ads, Grace somehow finds time to decorate...
GRACE
Ha ha, I guess it's just the artist in me dying to get out.
