Video games and computers have become babysitters for kids.
When I finish my school work for the day, I like to go play basketball, ride my bike or skateboard, play video games, or go free running.
Music and video games go hand in hand.
People who played action video games have better vision in the sort of conditions where there is not much contrast. It can make all the difference when driving at dusk, or in fog, in being able, for instance, to see a dog crossing the road in twilight.
I’m a big golfer, so in the offseason, that’s all I do – golf and play basketball. But during the season, I like to go bowling, watch movies. I love going to the movies. I go to the movies in every city we go. And when I’m at home I play video games all day.
I’ve always loved video games. I played ‘Ms. Pac-man’ with my dad, and I Ioved ‘Galaga’ and ‘Tempest’ and grew up on the standing arcade games. Even to this day, my dad will call me if he’s playing ‘Ms. Pac-man’ and hold the phone up to the game.
I don’t watch TV or movies or play video games.
I wouldn’t say I would have won a lot more tournaments if it wasn’t for video games but I think I would have given myself more opportunities to go further in other events.
If I ever have downtime, I’m usually sitting in my place playing video games. Or eating sandwiches somewhere, or watching sports some place.
Video games offer violent messages, and even the sports video games include taunting and teasing.
I want to be creative in as many different environments as possible, whether it’s doing film scores, writing for TV ads or video games – all sorts of stuff, as long as it requires writing music.
I got addicted to Tetris, playing it in my basement, I was missing all these airplane flights over it. After the fourth one that I missed, I realized I needed to get rid of this thing – so ever since then, I don’t play video games any more.
Anything that encourages a boy to open a book, in a world of more violent and therefore more compelling video games, is something I’m going to pay for.
I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. ‘Hey, man, what are you playing?’ ‘Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I’m performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!’
I think, pretty much like everyone around my age, I grew up playing those classic video games. I wouldn’t say I was addicted to them, but I definitely liked them.
I’m a believer that players are good self-directors, and I think one thing that’s good about video games is they can direct their own experience.
The reason I know about ‘Tomb Raider’ is from when I was researching ‘Elephant.’ It was 1999, and I was trying to research the Columbine-massacre kids, and they had played video games, and I, at the time, had never really seen one. It was a world I didn’t know.
I used to play video games and all that, but I don’t really play video games that much.
I’ve been a video game guy since I was eight years old and got my first Nintendo. I’ve been addicted to video games ever since.
I would say I’m pretty much the exact same as the stereotypical American kid. I mean I’m really lazy, I play a lot of video games, I like girls. I like, you know, the violence and action type thing.
Everything about video games has changed. The writing, the acting, the visuals, obviously – everything has gone to a new level. And the difference that I see as an actor is that I don’t have to push that extra bit to sell what’s going on.
My manager introduced me to the ‘Rise to Honor’ team. I was curious about what it took to be involved in video games, a completely new form of entertainment to me.
It’s always hard when you’re working on a project, and you’re seeing it in bits and pieces, whether that be film, television, video games, animation – you only really have perspective of what you’re interacting with.
I didn’t know much about video games.
Most video games, you build up toward the big, bad boss. And it’s just a bigger, more powerful version of what you’ve been fighting all along in the game.
I keep my face covered during concerts. That’s just something that is part of me, an artist, and I think it’s a cool concept and look. It is really inspired by my love for video games, especially with the videogame ‘Watchdog’ that I love.
I’m easy to please. I just need a bed and video games, and I’m set.
I didn’t grow up playing video games. I grew up catching crawdads in the creek and minnows and lizards and snakes.
Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it’s almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.
I don’t play video games. My husband does. He plays sometimes the football, and every once in a while when he gets bored, he’ll do a little boxing in there. He gets into the football. You can trade players, and he keeps up with the whole aspect of the game, not just the game. He’s a fanatic.
Now if you play video games all the time and you’re a real gamer, you’re not going to use the Game Genie, you’re not going to use the codes.
Well, you know, the best compliment I’ve ever gotten from a coworker is Anna Drezen, who is a longtime friend of mine from college, which she was like – one day she turned to me and she said, you know, Bowen, you make video games seem accessible or you make it seem – you make them seem less esoteric or whatever she said.
Solitary pursuits like playing video games and skateboarding can’t compete with the thrill of mobbing a teammate as he scores the winning run – nor do they end with a postgame trip to Dairy Queen.
I think a punt can be a big play in a game. If it’s anything like a real game, then you realize that a Pat McAfee punt that downs someone inside the 2-yard line can really swing a game. I’m all for punting in video games.
Being young is an advantage. You’ve grown up with games as the dominant entertainment. You have a lot of experience of video games. So what do you want to see that’s not been done? Innovation is really low cost for you. You can afford to take risks and fail to execute new ideas.
I wouldn’t claim to be a gamer. I have played video games in the past.
I’m big into video games, and when I joined FAZE clan, they’re big into streaming. And they’re streaming every day, like, six, seven hours a day.
I go to these cocktail parties now, and I say I make video games, and people go, ‘Wow.’ I can attract crowds.
If you had a game that said, ‘Oops, you’re dead. Now switch off the game,’ it wouldn’t be very successful. So you do need to have something to teach and be there to learn from, and we feel that death in video games is a positive experience.

In my teens and university and stuff, video games became more realistic, or they started to.
Having fun with family, playing video games, and listening to music calms me down and gets me away from the NBA world.
I am a sore loser. I will be the first to admit that. When I get on video games I am not that good and when I play against somebody and they beat me, I want to rip the game out the wall, that type of thing. So, I really hesitate from playing them.
I don’t play video games.
Video games seem to be mostly a boy thing – viewed by young boys and created by big boys. I believe that if more videos games were created by women, the violence in these games – especially against women – would be rapidly toned down.
Our down time at home consists of hikes and video games and trying to cook – because we are awful at it.
I grew up with my little brother, and we were raised by my grandmother. I was an insider for real. I stayed in the house a lot, writing songs or playing video games, watching TV, or chilling with my girlfriend.
I grew up nerdy, scrawny, playing video games, and getting picked on.
When I first left Indianapolis, I was only 20 years old and moved out to Utah and had no friends or family there. I had my teammates but I was the youngest player and everyone had a family so video games and being able to play them with my friends, it was like I was hanging out with them.
We need to go beyond saying, ‘I know what these games do because I see my son playing them,’ and try to understand the complexities – that different video games have different effects.
Not everyone reads comics, although most people know the major superheroes, but the majority of people play video games.
Some media used to talk about video games only to say how violent or addictive they could be. With ‘Heavy Rain,’ they talked about the story of the game and the emotions they felt while playing.
The heart of the matter is that everybody starts video games as a beginner. Then, after going through a lot of experiences and becoming more and more fond of video games, they become the experts.
Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it’s almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.
There’s a lot of possibility in the ‘Pacific Rim’ universe for additional stories to be told, whether that’s additional graphic novels or animated series or video games or movie sequels.
