I’m not really interested in video games.
In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it’s like to play the game, and that’s absolutely not the case.
I got to do something I never do, which is go to Starbucks and read ‘The New York Times’ until 7 a.m. I took my daughter to school on the East Side, which was a lot of fun. And I admit I played Call of Duty, one of those war video games.
I consider myself lucky that I grew up in a time that there were no video games to keep my attention on indoor activities.
The children of the 1980s were the last before a lot of things changed. We were the last generation not to have cell phones, not to have video games, not to have parents who worried if we strayed from the yard.
Paradise for me, at this point, would probably be tacos, video games, and my lady. Just hanging out and eating tacos and not getting big.
I’m very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
I’m a video game enthusiast. I love video games! They were a huge part of my upbringing in their early form, when I was all about ‘Dig Dug’ and ‘River Raid.’ As they evolved, so did my music-making, and we just kind of grew up together like cool friends.
I play a lot of video games, and I go to the gym.
To me, the machinima artform has essentially evolved now into the Let’s Play streaming world. That’s what it is: it’s people performing and creating art using video games. It’s just more personality-driven rather than story-driven these days.
As a kid, creation was something that I always loved. Creating worlds for video games, creating businesses that didn’t make any money, selling lemonade, etcetera. In my fourth grade classroom, I even instituted a government structure because I was really interested in people having positions and there being law.
I liked playing video games because I felt like I was inside of the story in a way that I didn’t feel when I was just watching something. Any chance I could get to step into the shoes of another person, I would take. I couldn’t get enough of stories.
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.
‘Papo & Yo’ is an incredibly emotional experience. It shows that video games can talk about anything, even the most personal and sensitive matters.
That’s really one of the things I love about video games. It’s a whole new world every time you start.
There are plenty of skills I’ve learned from playing video games. It’s more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you’re using your brain.
Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so… I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games.
The consumer likes having a brand-new experience and reliving it over and over again. If you create the right type of experience, that also happens in video games.
I don’t believe that playing video games in the locker room is part of earning the right to win.
I’ve been playing video games for as long as I can remember.
When I was a teenager, I felt my life was constrained by rules, school, my parents. I wanted to feel like I was empowered and different; that’s why superheroes, comics, manga, and video games filled my needs. When I got older, I realized power is not free; it comes with responsibility.
I really like baking, and I really like playing video games. I saw a few geeky baking blogs but I never saw a show on television or on the Internet like that. So I thought, ‘Why not be the first to try it out?’ And it went really well.
I think the reason why video games are more popular as entertainment in difficult economies is that the cost per hour of video games is lower than any other form of entertainment.
I’ve learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I’m gonna do after the race, what I’m gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.
Video games as a storytelling medium are, from a mathematical standpoint, a branching narrative. You start at one place, you can go in multiple different directions, and there’s a multitude of different endings.
We played video games and read books, and we went to public school. And yeah, we went to amusement parks. We did all of those things, but we also – that was all sort of organized around this nationwide picketing campaign.
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.
We’ve always anticipated that, as Nintendo would demonstrate business potential with an idea, others would follow. And we believe that based on history – rumble, joystick – things that we invented, if you will, and first put in video games, others quickly latched on to.
Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books… you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.
I love watching ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ and I play video games, like ‘Call of Duty.’
I used to play video games all the time, but now I don’t because I don’t have an attention span.
While girls average a healthy five hours a week on video games, boys average 13. The problem? The brain chemistry of video games stimulates feel-good dopamine that builds motivation to win in a fantasy while starving the parts of the brain focused on real-world motivation.
As others have recently suggested, the term ‘gamer’ is no longer useful as an identity because games are for everyone. These days, even my mom spends an inordinate amount of time gaming on her iPad. So I’ll take a cue from my younger self and say I don’t care about being a ‘gamer,’ but I sure do love video games.
Playing video games is something I enjoy in my spare time. I’m a gamer, always have been.
Listen, I am such a nerd. I’m not one of those girls that goes, ‘Ha, ha, hee, hee. I’m a nerd.’ No, no, no – my brain mentality is the same as a 12-year-old little boy. The video games that I play, the things that I like to watch – I’m a Trekkie.
I think it’s one of the coolest things especially as a young actor, actually at any time – even doing my stuff with Avatar – merchandising, video games come out and action figures and plushie toys. It really ignites the kid in you.
Despite the laserlike focus it generates, ‘Tetris’ has no clear endpoint and no easily defined opponents. Unlike with most other video games, you’re playing only against yourself, without any concrete goals other than to keep on fitting blocks into other blocks.
Music is 80 percent fun and 20 percent work. Video games, for me, is all fun.
I never play video games! I’m so bad at it. I have, like, no manual dexterity.
In addition to needed gun control reforms, America urgently needs a stronger protest movement dedicated to reducing the glorification of violence in our culture – in music, film, television, video games, and even the Internet.
‘Chronicle’ could have been a video-game movie. The original ‘RoboCop’ and the remake could have come from video games.
My favorite thing from my childhood is video games.
People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can’t handle it.
I’m pretty bad at video games.
The 1980s was a time of the great recession of interactive entertainment. When Atari fell in 1982, until Nintendo launched its console, video games were an outcast for five years.
There’s more flexibility in the cartoon world than there is in video games. In video games, if I tweak a line, I could screw up the work of countless other people with my whim.
I love video games.
If I am ever forced to cover guys playing video games, I will retire and move to a rural fishing village and sell bait.
I have three boys. Sometimes my wife and I really have to battle to keep video games from encroaching.
As writers, we have to make our own work – as bloggers, writing for video games, whatever we can do. Everyone breaks into the business in a different way.
There’s no more fun. All that digital stuff – we used to do that crap for real! I hate that stuff. Young kids who play video games seem to like it, but I don’t.
My No. 1 key with fans is, honestly, to stay connected with them. I think it’s important to talk to the fans online and respond to their questions. You know, live streaming, playing video games.
I was just a little three-year-old kid, and I loved Hulk Hogan. And when you’re a three-year-old kid, you don’t list off the reasons. I was just drawn to him. He was always my favorite, even in the video games and everything like that. He was the one that I always remembered and liked the most.
I didn’t get to play many video games when I was growing up.
It feels like there’s something for everyone in video games. It’s not just a toy for a certain age group. It’s steeped in the culture now.
