Are videogames art?

I am half on board with you. Half on because I think some games are more worthy of being called art just like some books and some paintings while others aren't.

There have been games that have literally made my jaw drop at how beautiful they are.
There have been games that have pulled me into the storyline so far I had withdrawls from not playing it.
There have been games that have made me laugh, cry, get angry.

Beauty, emotions, and depth is what art is to me and some games have it while others don't.

Half off because I think about a child painting a picture and we still call it artwork. I think anything creative could loosely be called art. That is where you have to define which version of "art" you mean. If we are talking most common then I agree with your original statement.
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

For me, it depends on the game. Some seem like art to me, while others do not.

It's like the difference between a classic porn movie like "Deep Throat" and the more modern "College Babes the 112456th sequel"

Of course. Some of them have amazing graphic art.

I would say they are all art, some are just bad art.

I guess some video games are art since they can make art out of anything, like balls of dust, so why not video games?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
