In 100 Years, What Games, Movies, and Television Will Be Seen as Art?: Our Community Responds
Episode 50 of our podcast Rated NA will be going live tomorrow afternoon, but we felt obligated to share these incredible responses to this weeks question: “What video game franchise, film, or television series will be viewed as art in 100 years and why?” On top of getting a ton of stellar responses from our friends and readers, we were also lucky enough to hear back from a number of the people that made the past 15 months at Nerd Appropriate so awesome. One of the best things about being a part of this site, is getting to talk with such incredibly creative people about the things we love, and for that we’re immensely grateful. Take a look at what some of our friends in the industry had to say about the future.

As much as I’d love to just travel back about 3 months to win Powerball and live like a P.I.M.P…I guess my less selfish answer would be…
Where: PangeaWhen: 200 Million Years ago (mid-Jurrasic)What to bring: A digital cameraWhy?: Cause I could go see fucking Dinosaurs. Something no one has ever seen. I could take videos and pics and, providing I survive I could bring them back and make sweet posters to sell at the flea market.
In theory any serious mucking with the time-stream would cause a paradox, which I assume is a bad thing. If paradoxes aren’t an issue, I’d probably stop Gavrlio Princip from assassinating Austrian Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand (06/ 28/1914) . A number of history nerds theorize that this single event was the catalyst for WWI which in turn spawned the Treaty of Versailles/ WWII. No Treaty of Versailles, no angry Hitler, no WWII, no Holocaust, no Pearl, no Hiroshima, no Cold War…. Trillions of dollars could have been used for the advancement of civilization/technology and not nuclear deterrence…
This all leads to more advanced video game consoles and pizza with no calories. I would bring Lee Harvey Oswald’s rifle to snipe the gun from Princip’s hand just to be ironic…
I’ll skip the obvious – winning lottery numbers. I’d take either FF1 or DQ1 back to me so I could get into gaming earlier. The few people I knew that had a Nintendo or Sega console only had Mario, Sonic and/or some sports games. I didn’t know about RPGs. It wasn’t until my girlfriend-at-the-time wanted the new & shiny Playstation for Christmas (which I got her with Abe’s Oddysee & Final Fantasy VII – both chosen because of the tv commercials) that I “discovered” them!!! She grew bored with the system after about 3 months – so I felt no qualms when I took it with me when we broke up!!! Besides, she wanted a computer for her birthday the following March – that she kept with no argument from me.
BTW, my image is from the PS1 game, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix. The “thing” strapped to her side is her gun.
