It’s actually one of the only things that I do that I don’t get frustrated over. Everything else I do – racing, golf, video games – those things I want to win at. With photography, I think the camera wins every time.

I do regular kid stuff like play video games.

It's very difficult for people who don't play video gam

Now, in the Liefeld household, I don’t tend to share the fact that I created Deadpool with my kids, so when all the video games started coming out where Wade was at the center of them, I couldn’t help but smile.
Most of the time with video games, you’re recording by yourself.
Roger Craig Smith
I’m part of that original generation that came up playing video games, that pumped a lot of our allowance into video games. We financed the rise of video games. I started playing them in the Straw Hat Pizza Palace at the Carriage Square Mall in Oxnard, CA.
It seems astounding to me now that the video games are perhaps as important as the movie themselves. And people will spend 2 or 3 years obsessing about the video game in exactly the same way that they’d be obsessing about the movie if they were working on that.
I’m a competitive guy, and I love the competitive nature of video games.
I don’t spend a lot of time watching my performances after the fact. I suck at playing video games, but I’m a fan of the creativity, the brilliance, and the possibility of the industry.
Jennifer Hale
There is evil prowling in the world – it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds.
‘Modern Warfare,’ ‘Black Ops,’ these are all the next level of video games. The people are more detailed, the fighting is more exact, and I can’t speak for every gamer out there, but I know when I play, I feel like I’m actually in the game. It’s that intense.
I like playing video games, so I spend a lot of relaxation doing that, and I live in a big house with a pool, so that is also good fun.
When I looked at the addictive qualities of video games and how they captivate people’s attention, I decided to try the same technology for enhancing well-being.
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.
Scientists have shown that pigs are capable of playing simple video games, learning from each other, and even learning names.
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don’t do that.
You can’t just drop everything and focus on playing video games for a living.
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 go to these cocktail parties now, and I say I make video games, and people go, ‘Wow.’ I can attract crowds.
I think it’s people’s choice, right? If you watch movie, you watch movie. If you play video games, you play video games. I play games on my phone as well.
It was always one of my favorite things, the action figures, the video games, when I was with WWE, even though I’m not a gamer. I would literally go out and buy the games just so I could play myself.
I loved Japanese culture before even realizing it was, in fact, Japanese culture. The cartoons and anime I was watching as a child, my favorite video games, and even in pro wrestling – my favorite wrestlers and matches originated in Japan.
I have been playing video games since the Atari 2600 days.
I never really lost touch with video games. Even while shooting ’10 Cloverfield Lane,’ I brought my PlayStation with me, the most portable of all the consoles, and was playing every night.
Dan Trachtenberg
I have very fond memories of growing up in Greece, of my brothers and I causing chaos and climbing up trees, which is really cool. Back then, we didn’t have all the video games and all that stuff. We just had each other, and we played on the street.
Tracy Spiridakos
I have a reward-and-punishment system: If I have done this much work, then I can play video games this long. It gives my day structure.
I make funny videos of me playing video games, and I share those moments.
PewDiePie
Video games and outdoor sports – that was my childhood.
If somebody going to tell you don’t play video games on the road or at home, I’m not going to listen to it.
I approach video games the same way I approach theatre, filmmaking, poetry, or painting. I wish more people would take that point of view. It would help the industry to move on.
I love video games. I’m also slightly in awe of them. I’m in awe of their power in terms of imagination, in terms of technology, in terms of concept. But I think, above all, I’m in awe at their power to motivate, to compel us, to transfix us, like really nothing else we’ve ever invented has quite done before.
The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.
When I first left Indianapolis, I was only 20 years old

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.
While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.
I’m a huge ‘Call of Duty’ fan, ‘Minecraft’ and all those kinds of video games. I’m constantly playing video games every day.
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 do exercises on my Wii. It’s nice to have games that keep you active. It’s an excuse to play video games.
Usually, when you do video games, you don’t interact with the other actors. You each record your audio on different days, and you never really meet the other characters.
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.
Daphne Bavelier
No, I don’t play video games.
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.
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.
I always felt really guilty if I spent too much time playing video games. It’s a colossal waste of time. And I can’t say it’s a very satisfying feeling at the end of the day, if you’ve spent eight hours playing a video game; you just end up feeling kind of spent, and used.
I find it a turnoff whenever men aren’t into some kind of sport. And, no, video games don’t count. I dated a guy who was into video games, and I wanted to shoot myself.
I am a kid from the ’70s, when video games first started coming out, so I definitely have to say I am a video game junkie to this day.
Our kids are in a little band, and they like to play video games, and my wife and I do our best to live a low-key, non-Hollywood kind of life.
Justin Chambers
Children need to move to develop their brain; it’s a natural urge. That’s why boys will run after a ball and play soccer despite how many video games are available to them, and they can’t help themselves from building with Lego bricks as well. They want to be creating something that’s uniquely their own.
Jorgen Vig Knudstorp
Yeah, well, in the beginning, our mom and dad had one philosophy. We couldn’t just sit inside and play video games.
I think video games are a great kind of entertainment. They have replaced a lot of games people normally play with their friends and neighbours, like Monopoly.
Uwe Boll
I think video games have been instrumental to me as an NBA player.
I have liked games for a very long time but when I saw ‘Gradius’ at the arcade as a junior high student, I became certain that in the future all forms of entertainment will be taken over by video games.
I get most of my inspiration from anime and video games.
Bella Poarch
I believe that if we don’t make moves to get people who don’t play games to understand them, then the position of video games in society will never improve. Society’s image of games will remain largely negative, including that stuff about playing games all the time badly damaging you or rotting your brain or whatever.
I’m into video games, but only real specific lame video games.
I love video games dearly.
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 can’t play video games because I get too nervous. It just stresses me out.
I’m not the best at video games, but I play them a lot.
A lot of the greatest artists, their work is always about life and the world. I think there needs to be that for video games.
You look at the violence that is there in entertainment, in video games, and don’t just go say, ‘We’re going to do an assault weapons ban, and that’s going to solve the problem,’ because it is not going to get to the root of the problem.
Video games offer violent messages, and even the sports video games include taunting and teasing.
Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isn’t ruined if I lose. I’m always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, that’s something that’s nice about maturing.
Aaron Staton
It wasn’t until I got my first son that I wasn’t really able to play video games because when you have a child at home, there are infinite other things you should be doing.
I love YouTube. You can find me there watching cat vide

I love YouTube. You can find me there watching cat videos. I even like to watch other people play video games. I know it’s a bit creepy, but it’s my thing.
The reason I know about ‘Tomb Raider‘ is from when I was researchingElephant.’ 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.
We are not outraged by blood. We see blood all the time. Blood is pervasive in movies, television, and video games. Yet, we are outraged by the fact that one openly discusses bleeding from an area that we try to claim ownership over.
Video games are ubiquitous now.
Eugene Jarvis
I love zombies, and I love playing zombie-killing video games, so I was always super into the zombies, seeing how it all works and seeing the blood everywhere. I love that kind of stuff.
Chandler Riggs
That’s the difference between even the best video game and what’s going on in books. Video games can inspire a reaction, but not the emotions.
I always loved playing video games. It was something my mom did, and my sister played as well.
Usually, when you do video games, you don’t interact with the other actors. You each record your audio on different days, and you never really meet the other characters.
I like to play video games like ‘Rock Band‘ and ‘Guitar Hero.’
As for the claim that drone ‘pilots‘ are not engaged in the extinguishing of human life via video games, the military‘s own term for its drone kills – ‘bug splat,’ which happens to be the name of a children’s video game – and other evidence negates that.
I had a job on a Spike TV show called ‘Fresh Baked Video Games.’ I was the animation producer/kind of a writer, but I couldn’t get anything through.
Justin Roiland
Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don’t normally use.
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.
I suck at video games.
Growing up, I played every sport I could play, so I didn’t have much time, but when I wasn’t playing sports, I was definitely playing video games. But my mom used to tell me that I could only play video games for two hours a day and then they would turn off the Internet so I couldn’t play online.
I used to play video games and all that, but I don’t really play video games that much.
I love to write music, watch a Pixar film, or play video games with my family and friends.
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.
My knowledge of video games ends with Nintendo ‘Mario Bros.’
I wouldn’t claim to be a gamer. I have played video games in the past.
When I’m working on something and need to take a little break, I’ll go down and play some video games.
The more downtime we have, the more time you have to play games like ‘Ghost Recon Future Soldiers,’ so for me it’s a fun way to get integrated into video games and for me to have fun with my buddies and team up and go into battle with ’em, kind of like out there on court.
I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it’s just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.
Most of my fans know I love video games. I say it in every interview, so they know. But one thing that I like doing is skateboarding, I like jet skiing, skydiving. It’s like a huge roller coaster ride. Like forty seconds of free-falling. That’s some of the stuff I love, daredevil stuff. I like horseback riding.
Occasionally, especially on video games and with a lot of the fighting stuff, to get what you feel is the proper sound, you have to imitate what you’re doing, and occasionally I’ve gotten carried away and kicked over mic stands or punched things.
I don’t like video games.
The last time I played video games was ‘Space Invaders.’
I’m pretty bad at video games.
I grew up playing video games, since I was probably five years old.
I do not trust technology. I mean, I don’t think we’re in any danger of kids, you know, doing without video games in the future, but I am saying that their lives are largely out of balance.
I have three boys. Sometimes my wife and I really have to battle to keep video games from encroaching.
I think rap music is brought up, gangster rap in partic

I think rap music is brought up, gangster rap in particular, as well as video games, every other thing they try to hang the ills of society on as a scapegoat.
How do you know Hollywood is getting serious about video games? They want to make one of their own. In ‘Defiance,’ the remaining humans on Earth, as well as alien species looking for a new home, find themselves settling for peace after a massive war desecrated the world and destroyed most of the alien ships along with it.
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.
Jennifer Hale
I’m an Old Media guy. I don’t have a website; I don’t Twitter. I love magazines, yet I love video games. It’s a strange disconnect.
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.
When I put out ‘Video Games’ in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!
I grew up on video games. When I was in college, even during snowstorms, I would go the half-mile to the drugstore to play ‘Millipede.’
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.
Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
Bill Budge
There are big lines between those who play video games and those who do not. For those who don’t, video games are irrelevant. They think all video games must be too difficult.
I didn’t get to play many video games when I was growing up.
Most of us grew up with video games in the household, either the original Nintendo in the living room or hoarding quarters for that trip to the arcade. And as time moves on, that line of nostalgia will keep moving forward where ‘Frogger’ gets replaced with ‘Street Fighter 2′ or ‘Resident Evil 4.’
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.
I rage playing video games. I think that’s the only time you will ever hear me say a cuss word.
I dated my first girlfriend for, like, two weeks in high school, and when you’re in high school, it’s so much different. I wanted to hang out with my friends and play video games and play paintball and do guy stuff. Girls were never around for my friends group.
What irritates me about sci-fi is that it got hijacked by video games and also became so high-concept it was all about ideas and gadgets and technology and nothing about the human experience.
I love video games. I love, love, love them! I also love ‘Star Wars.’ I wish Jedi was a true religion.
I’ve been playing hand-held video games since 1995. Its my way of training my brain.
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.
JuJu Smith-Schuster
So many of us, we love these things that come from Japan. We play the video games every day, we read the manga, people watch the cartoons, they absolutely love it.
Yaya Han
I love video games.
I love video games.
Chandler Riggs
Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it. It’s all good.
Aaron Ashmore
My experience with video games is a far cry from ‘WWE 2K17.’ Did I ever aspire to be that character? Man, I just wanted to be a hero to kids. Whether it’s a character in a video game, a movie or a TV series, it’s an accolade that I’m greatly appreciative of.
I don’t play video games.
Jason Newsted
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.
Chandler Riggs
I’m hugely into video games; I always have been. I started on the Sega with games like Sonic, Battletoads, and Tetris… all those old-school games.
There’s nothing that can replace being on the court with your teammates. Just a feeling that can’t be duplicated. But for me to have a distraction like video games where I can hang out with friends, still compete through that. I mean that’s something I’m for sure thankful for, for sure helps me get away.
Technology is permeating every single thing we do… And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we’re planning for the future.
Marc Morial
Now, on nights that I can’t sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
Namie Amuro
I started playing video games, and in 1978 I discovered Dungeons & Dragons and started game-mastering and writing my own adventures and creating my own worlds.
Every child has played video games growing up and playe

Every child has played video games growing up and played WWE games. To be part of a video game, it’s an unbelievable experience.
Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it.
Aaron Ashmore
When we started, there were no other distractions like the Internet and video games, so music was central to young people’s lives.
I’m such a video game fan that being able to do voices in video games is just fantastic.
Will Friedle
My older brother Billy was really into video games, and of course I followed suit. I was such a dork – I was so geeky!
Ciara Renee
We all grew up, our grandmothers and mothers had about three channels to watch, so we watched those soaps and now, a generation has grown up with the Internet and computers and video games.
Jack Wagner
Most of us grew up with video games in the household, either the original Nintendo in the living room or hoarding quarters for that trip to the arcade. And as time moves on, that line of nostalgia will keep moving forward where ‘Frogger’ gets replaced with ‘Street Fighter 2′ or ‘Resident Evil 4.’
Everything was happening on that strip of Fulton Street. And if I wanted Chinese food, if I wanted to play video games, if I wanted pizza, if I had to go to the corner story for a juice, I had to go on Fulton Street.
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.
I grew up nerdy, scrawny, playing video games, and getting picked on.
Josh Keaton
Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you’ll see better movie adaptations.
I’m geeky about video games. I don’t stay inside a lot and just play them 24/7, but if I had the chance, I probably would.
I don’t play video games because I know that if I ever started, I’d never be able to maintain a career again.
Having fun with family, playing video games, and listening to music calms me down and gets me away from the NBA world.
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.
A big reason why I started writing is I felt that fiction had stopped evolving. All other entertainments were getting better, constantly, as technology allowed. Movies. Video games. Music.
I think it would be impossible to make a movie about video games if there wasn’t some violence that we know from video games.
Normally, improving contrast sensitivity means using glasses or surgery to correct the eye. But we’ve found that action video games train the brain to process visual information more efficiently and improve vision.
Daphne Bavelier
The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we’re in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.
I spoke at TED Global 2010 about the ways that video games engage the brain, and in particular, the idea of reward structures: how a challenge or task can be broken down and presented to make it as engaging as possible.
I wouldn’t claim to be a gamer. I have played video games in the past.
I play video games a lot… I love to read… I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, who are my most favorite people in the world.
A lot of people talk about video games as something nerds do. But we look at it as a way to connect with people. It’s something that’s positive, that brings people together.
Modern video games like ‘Mass Effect’ and ‘Uncharted‘ cost tens of millions of dollars and require the labor of hundreds of people, who can each work 80- or even 100-hour weeks.
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’ve always loved technology. Growing up, I loved Nintendo and video games.
The only other thing that’s like video games for me is watching tennis on TV. I can have it on, and there’s a rhythmic quality to it – I can be watching Wimbledon or the U.S. Open and still be working.
By shifting your focus to the princess and treating your life’s challenges like video games, you can trick your brain and actually learn more and see more success.
Mark Rober
For the most part, I think video games do a good job of capturing the essence of boxing. However, I’d like to continue to see them push the realism, emphasizing the skill involved.
Nintendo has paid a great deal of attention to the dynamic of people playing video games together in the same room.
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.
We know there are good sugars and bad sugars, and we do

We know there are good sugars and bad sugars, and we don’t discuss whether food in general is good or bad for us. We need to be far more nuanced when we talk about the effects of video games.
Daphne Bavelier
You’ll move from big brother to the adult world faster by cooking food for your younger siblings while your peers are playing video games.
In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises.
Ken Thompson
Without video games, I don’t think I’d be where I am today with anything else in life.
When I looked at the addictive qualities of video games and how they captivate people’s attention, I decided to try the same technology for enhancing well-being.
There was a naive quality in 1982 around technology and the start of video games. And that’s like the start of electronic music – there was this statement and, ideologically, these things to fight for.
The modern video games kind of – they’re too three dimensional.
Sometimes we need to step back and understand the power of video games. ‘Dear Esther’ does just that. Through visuals, audio, and narration, this title weaves a story around the player as they explore different areas in the game.
Collecting Topps trading cards when I was a kid or playing video games when I was younger, and suddenly seeing myself on Topps trading cards and videogames… it’s a complete honor.
What Brad Bushman did is in 2010 he ran what’s called a meta-analysis, which is an analysis that looks at a whole bunch of different studies. They concluded that, yes, there is a link between violent video games and aggression.
When I was 15, 16, 17 years old, I spent five hours a day juggling, and I probably spent six hours a day seriously listening to music. And if I were 16 now, I would put that time into playing video games.
I play a lot of video games, cook meals for my best friends and chosen family in Seattle, and find time to visit my family in Portland, Oregon.
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.
I play a lot of ultra-violent video games.
I used to draw comics a lot. I was obsessed with ‘The Young Ones,’ and was massively into video games, although I was no good at them.
I love playing video games. I love listening to music. Just surfing the web. Facebook, Twitter, keeping in touch with people from home.
Trey Burke
I love video games. When I was growing up, video games were very important to me.
Ben Schwartz
Growing up, I was restricted at home from playing video games until I reached university.
I think what television and video games do is reminiscent of drug addiction. There’s a measure of reinforcement and a behavioural loop.
I’ve always been afraid of video games – not afraid that I wouldn’t like them, but that I would like them too much, and that after mere seconds in front of any particularly bright and absorbing game, I would abandon all ambition, turn into a mouth-breathing zombie, and develop a wide, sofa-shaped rear end.
Not everyone reads comics, although most people know the major superheroes, but the majority of people play video games.
When I was growing up, I was an ’80s baby, so I remember the Sega Genesis and the first Nintendo. I grew up in a time when we first started playing video games on a computer screen. Now there are headsets and your body‘s the controller.
Mehcad Brooks
