Seems like it’s going to be really hard to make money at it, and, therefore, really hard to get any great games done. Much like Flash games, the audience is huge, but the content isn’t likely to be good enough to have people pay for it.
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
I’m into classic games like Donkey Kong, and also collect vintage tour t-shirts – everything from Olivia Newton-John to Duran Duran. I’ve got a Chicago one worth $100.
Baseball has better opening days and All-Star Games than the N.F.L. does. Ours stink.
I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
Those market researchers… are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother’s big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
One game I’m always on is ‘NBA Jam.’ And ‘Bejeweled,’ games like that, and ‘Temple Run.’
I don’t like to lose, man. I think that’s where it starts for me. If we’re not winning games, then I don’t smile too often.
I don’t remember not playing games. I think my pre-industry experience is me building LEGO houses and wishing people would go through them.
To say I have played through four World Cups, two Lions tours, 91 international games and a ridiculous number of injuries and other setbacks gives me an incredibly special feeling of fulfilment. I know myself well enough to know that I will never truly be satisfied.
I just went to your typical public schools, and my dad would take us to the movies every week, or he’d buy scalped tickets to San Antonio Spurs games. I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.
Cricket was deemed too posh where I came from, and I’d never have risked walking home through the estates in my whites. My club played some of the posh schools. I’d have the cheapest kit, but I loved those games. As soon as the posh lads opened their mouths and you heard their accents, the stakes were raised.
This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.
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 got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I’d like to be that guy now. Maybe that’s what I’m going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team.
Casino games are the one kind of content that has stood the test of time for decades.
If my teammates are out there to hoop, I’m going. I see the way these guys prepare for games. How can you not want to go be a part of that?
I hope the BWF (Badminton World Federation) will seriously do something about the Olympic qualifying format or risk getting badminton dropped from the Games.
I love to play games. I really like football, and I also like to ride horses.
And in nineteen seventy two I almost wasn’t, on the team, but I knew about it just before Olympic Games for three months before this why this is was not very good for me. I’d been ready to go, you know.
It is in games that many men discover their paradise.
The home of Rugby Union is in Twickenham – just outside London in the suburbs, where I live. I’m mad for it. The trouble with being an actor and being in the theater is that you always miss the games.
I’m human. I have bad games, I have bad moments, but that’s me. I cannot stay on the floor, knocked out. I have to keep going.
My parents said that sitting at home playing video games all day won’t bring you anywhere in life.
We turn off the TV, video games and computer – except for homework – during the week. The TV’s reserved for Friday night, Saturday and Sunday just because that’s the time to do homework, and it makes it that much less chaotic in our house.
There’s not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.
I ran the effort to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to New York City. We lost – on a global scale. To my surprise, life went on, and I learnt that nobody cares about your failures as much as you do.
I’m creating the kind of games that I like right now. I’m not being held back by technology.
The guerrilla fighters should be required to go to bed and get up at fixed hours. Games that have no social function and that hurt the morale of the troops and the consumption of alcoholic drinks should both be prohibited.
There are loads of fan sites for the ‘Edge,’ including deviant art, song lyrics using ‘Edge’ language, multiple entries on Wikipedia, there are even some ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ games all about the ‘Edge.’
Now that I’ve had a chance to play for a team where we won 30 or 35 games, you understand how special winning is.
There were games I would score five and games I would score 30, and sometimes the five points were way more important than the 30.
I’m so over the moon that I have the opportunity to represent my country at a third Olympic Games.
Over the season, the games come thick and fast, and in some games, you aren’t so lucky.
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.
I live more than anything else to produce the Games.
Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre.
When I’m on planes, I’d talk to people and I’d tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn’t. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They’re really like the X Games for the world!
I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.
Most of the people who had PCs did not have modems and could not use those PCs as communicating devices. They really were using them for spreadsheets or word processing or storing recipes or playing games or what have you.
Games is probably the biggest industry today that has gone really social, right. I mean, the incumbent game companies are really being disrupted and are quickly trying to become social. And you have companies like Zynga.
If they are not positive about the run, I won’t talk to them. I’m not here to play games with the media.
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 will keep working on different aspects of my games. It’s not so easy, and I need to work on every stroke.
You can see it in games with Moutinho, he never panics on the ball and makes the right decision pretty much every time.
Now, on nights that I can’t sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
People talk about retiring. I never said that r-word. People though I went away after the Olympic Games. I took time off to do something I’ve always wanted to be – a mother.
Whenever I think of baseball, the first name that comes to mind is Babe Ruth. What the Babe was to baseball, Shula is to football coaching. There are certain figures in sports who are larger than the games they play or coach, and Don Shula is one of those.
You know, I have a lot of books on my iPad, but when I try to read them, I find myself wandering off to play games. Those are books I’m interested in. I can’t imagine what would have happened to me in college if my biology class had been on the same computer as ‘Words With Friends’ and ‘Doom.’
I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn’t know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games.
Sometimes games may not go the way you plan it, and sometimes you have to do the dirty, gritty stuff well – you have to tackle; you have to run. I learned that when I was young, and it is a good feeling to work hard for the team, to get the ball back.
My son taught me a few tricks about card games and Rishona spent time painting with me. She would also make us dalgona coffee at times. These small joys of family life have made me a very happy person.
Twilight’ has a supernatural reference to it with werewolves and vampires. ‘Harry Potter’ has magic. ‘The Hunger Games’ is about real people put into extreme situations and circumstances.
Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I’m supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games.
I do a lot of video games – I have a YouTube channel where I record me playing video games with my friends and post it. That’s a hobby I have and a lot of what I do in my off time.
The childhood games ended for me when I was 14 and I finished school. I had to find a job, not an easy thing in those days.
