What does it mean for something to be ugly? Is it when something is  repulsive, when it offends your senses, or is it when something is just  plain bad? Beyond that, is there any situation where ugly games can  actually be good?  

The Architect thinks so. They've torn and screamed their way through the  fleshpunk dystopia and come out the other side with profane visions  relating to the truth of ugly games. They aren't good - but they *are*  interesting, and by playing them, we can learn more about the games we  love and see videogames as a whole in a new, uglier, light - it's a good thing I promise.

man, I think the late Roger Scruton would disagree with you on where beauty comes from and, if he were alive and watching the video, correct you on the matter.
