This makes me so so so so so so so so so happy. I love museums and I love video games. Will definitely try to make it to this when it happens.
I tried voting, but apparently the Smithsonian underestimated the server load that they'd need to handle an influx of gamers from as many generations as they have to vote on.
Looks like they didn't anticipate so much traffic on their site--it's currently down.
I wish I could go see the exhibit when it opens :(

Wow this is a really great idea. Never thought I'd see something like this. I'll definitely have to keep an eye on that site for when it comes back up.
The 2nd one from the left reminded me of spindizzy(s?)worlds...anyone remember that little gem? Snes, if memory serves
I got to vote on Era 1 and 2 but the rest wouldn't load for me. Which is a bummer because I was really looking forward seeing the nominees for other eras.
Oh well. Time to refresh throughout the day.

This is a really intelligent selection of games they have here. I just really hope that Psychonauts makes the cut instead of Halo 2. Imagine, Psychonauts finding its place into the Smithsonian. Called it.
Prettttty stoked about this, since I'm right near DC. I'll probably check it out and do a lil' Cblog on it.

So an overblown 'underrated' game that exists purely for hipster gamers to trot out as an excuse of storytelling over substance deserves a spot more than a game that pioneered online console-based gaming AND has one of the few storylines in video games good enough to be a saga?

Made my votes. I don't like that in each category they only let you vote for one game in each genre. It resulted in some really heart wrenching choices.
Half Life 2 or Portal?
Grim Fandango or Fallout?
Adventure or Pitfall?
How can a person be expected to make such choices?

So because you don't like Pyschonauts, anyone who does is some kind of poser? Funny and here I thought it was just a relatively obscure little game I enjoyed the hell out of, I never new what a horrible person I truly was! I have seen the light!
You know something, I don't get why so many people like Halo, which I personally find to be an utterly generic and bland FPS series, but you won't see me insulting people who do, or insinuating nasty things about them. We all have different tastes. We play the games that make us happy and talk them up when the opportunity arises and hope others will recognize them and enjoy them as we have.
Grow up, son.
