10,000 athletes go and compete at an Olympic Games, only 300 go back with a gold medal, the number is very, very less.
What I’ve understood is that you have to put in the work, games need to be played, you have to do things the right way consistently.
Qualifying for the Olympic Games was one of those moments where you just cry because it was like you’ve climbed Mount Everest.
I don’t think it’d be the right choice to continue indefinitely creating ‘Souls’ and ‘Bloodborne’ games.
I’ll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.
Between yellow ribbon magnets, patriotic anthems at sports games and corporate marketing campaigns, the rhetoric that those in uniform are protecting freedom is hammered into the psyche of Americans at every turn.
I am almost 30 so I am approaching this one as if it will be my last Olympic Games. I want to put out 110 percent to make sure that I am up at the top.
A lot of people try to control how you access gaming. You know, they’re trying to prevent people from buying games.
I played mostly games like Asteroids and Pac-Man. Today, when I go into an arcade, the games are much more difficult and complex. I don’t think I could even play some of the video games that are out there today.
Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.
I’m pretty much an isolated person. I’d rather stay home and play video games.

Most people get excited about games, but I’ve got to be excited about practice, because that’s my classroom.
I play a lot of video games. I’ve started playing even more games since I heard Cartoon Network was interested in making an ‘Adventure Time’ game.

Once-dominant games like straight pool and three-cushion billiards have lost ground to eight-ball – the game of choice for millions of tavern league players – and nine-ball, the preeminent tournament game.
Greenies have been part of the clubhouse culture longer than card games.
I watched my idol and fellow Dutchman Tiesto. He was the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympic event – the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens. At eight years old, all I can remember thinking was, ‘I want to be a DJ.’
I happen to believe that video games will be the largest sport and entertainment in the world. The reason for that is a video game can be every sport. You can be anybody.
It’s still fun to come to games, and it’s still fun to be in the Seattle crowd.
Eighty-two games, it’s a long season.
Still, most of those effects occur in the context of harmless play and it is patently obvious that children are not normally turned into aggressive little monsters by TV or video games, since most children do not become aggressive little monsters.
The games industry is already bigger than the music industry, and it’s mainly directed at teenage boys.
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers – .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.
The Commonwealth Games is an important benchmark in the whole career path of an athlete.
I think games are starting to branch out. It’s not just guys sitting at their computer stations. Games are so fun, that everybody gets into them a little bit.
I think the Lombardi teams enjoyed and wanted to get into the big games.
The internet is a wild land with its own games, languages and gestures through which we are starting to share common feelings.
I don’t think people can watch University of Texas basketball or football games with me – really, anything Texas is playing – without wanting to punch me in the face. I’m as big a Longhorn fan as you’ll find.
When games get tight in the playoffs, especially in the Finals, there’s no space. There’s no clean looks.
All the managers in the world are here to win games.
I love playing games, but also training.
Thatgamecompany was founded with the philosophy that games are a form of entertainment, and entertainment is the food for emotion.
First of all, I don’t dislike direct storytelling – people seem to think that about my games! Actually, the truth is, I’m just not good at implementing direct narrative in my games.
I made some games, but I’m pretending like I didn’t because they all turned out weird.
If you’re not catfishing someone for romantic reasons, then it’s going to be hard to sympathize and be compassionate with someone who is doing it for revenge, who’s doing it for fun and games, who’s doing it because they want to be on TV.
‘Armada d6’ proves that some of the best games out there are still being playing on your tabletop.
I have to work hard and give my all in games and training sessions.
I like people who enjoy life. I can’t stand women who play games. I lose interest very quickly. I prefer up-front honesty.
I didn’t have any brothers or sisters, so I did a lot of stuff where I entertained myself playing games, reading a lot, a lot of fantasy novel stuff.
The only thing I shall talk about is my sporting achievements at school. My primary sporting achievement at school was that I dodged games for two complete years and was well through the third year before they discovered that I had completely avoided all games.
To win those big games you’re going to have to complete some third-down passes, you’re going to have to be able to get some explosive games in the passing game.
I have seen games on Xbox 360 and HD TV and I’m amazed at how realistic the players look.
Eventually, there will come a day where I’m not making games at Bethesda. Hopefully that’s a long time away. But I want to make sure that who we are, what the worlds are, what the company is, that’s sustainable far beyond me.
To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it’s so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it’s just a dream.
I’m an avid bridge player. I usually go to the local bridge club three or four times a week. I’ve always been a game-player, and I think bridge is one of the greatest games ever invented. It’s too bad that not many young people play it any more.
Of course, when it comes to Japanese role-playing games, in any role-playing game in Japan you’re supposed to collect a huge number of items, and magic, and you’ve got to actually combine different items together to make something really different.
On all open platforms, regardless of whether it’s Facebook or the Apple App Store, the largest segment is entertainment and games. It’s the largest revenue segment. And it’s the same for Tencent.
Win or lose, I’ve been fortunate to be able to pitch deep enough into games to get decisions.
In football, the only game I know is the 90-minutes game. It’s not mind games; I don’t try to do that.
Performance matters because games are built on great performance, but form factor and energy efficiency matter incredibly because they want to build something that’s portable and transformable.
I want to win games; I don’t want to lose games.
I think the Invictus Games is something the world needs to know more about. What it does for the competitors and what it does for the families and what it does for the wounded warriors and their support system is nothing short of phenomenal. More people need to know about it.
I didn’t play video games because my parents didn’t allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.
Whenever a film allows you to think and feel and take it beyond the moment, I think it’s achieved something. And ‘Funny Games’ does that.
You’d go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air.
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.
Why are video games so violent? The ones I’ve seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment.
Obviously I bet on games I officiated. I passed on information based on the meetings that the referees were having, and based on what the league office wanted us to call in playoff games. With that being said, I was able to win at a high percentage when we were betting on NBA games.
Traveling is definitely something that your average 17-year-old doesn’t get to do. One week we’re in Japan, one week we’re in Australia, one week we’re back home going to football games.
My community was built on a foundation of organic growth through watching people play video games.
It is nerve-wracking watching my kids’ games.
