Good gravy. Is this what public outcries look like nowadays?

A temporary public art exhibit called the "Tagged City Play for Real Players in Real Cities" details a "game" that would played by a "social network" of people with missions who basically hang out at a gas station, get tatted, and then graffiti the poor city of Plymouth, UK. Sound fun? The video didn't make it out to be.

Because it's "art", it can be interpreted in many ways, but it's pretty obvious that this particular experiment is trying to compare the solitary experience of traditional game playing to the non-traditional experience of life with real social interaction. That would be fine, but attaching tattoos and graffiti to an art exhibit? You're right, you art nerds are WAY cooler than us gamers, thanks for heads up! Kim Phu
