Random Talk

I liked him because he would talk about Zelda and Battlefield 1942. As a youth who took a sick day to play Mega Man X5, it was nice to see a person of gaming represented in media.

it was kind of crazy, wasn't it? for as big as gaming was getting 1990-2010 even, practically nobody on TV ever talked about it except in the context of news stories like "it's corrupting our youth"

youtube was like a faucet opening, suddenly an outlet for all this discussion people had been wanting to have for so long

Like a decade ago during an interview for Batman vs Superman, there was an interview about games or something. Henry Cavill was talking about World of Warcraft and Mass Effect and such. But Ben Affleck, who got a giant phoenix yakuza tattoo on his back, seemed embarrassed to talk about playing StarCraft.

Gamers have, for lack of a better term, risen up.
