Whatever the offense dictates to allow me doing what I or this offense needs to do to win games, I’m going to do it.

I loved ‘WWF No Mercy‘ for the Nintendo 64. One of my favorites games was ‘WCW Thunder.’ I loved playing that game, and I loved being The Steiner Brothers. They were so cool, and they were some of the most powerful characters.

I have to work hard and give my all in games and training sessions.

The Olympic Games are for the world and all nations must be admitted to them.

So, if falling crime rates coincide with the rise of violent video games and increasing violence on TV and at the cinema, should we conclude that media violence is causing the drop in crime rates?

We do need this diversity in the industry. Regardless of what From Software is doing, we need people making battle royale games and live services, and we need people making single-player focused experiences. We feel that this diversity is what will keep everyone going.

I hope the BWF (Badminton World Federation) will seriously do something about the Olympic qualifying format or risk getting badminton dropped from the Games.

Taufik Hidayat
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.

Criticism comes with the territory when you don’t win games.

If you look at the requirements for just one piece, like art, from one generation of games to the next, it will change radically. You need people who are adaptable because the thing that makes you the best in the world in one generation of games is going to be totally useless in the next.

And of course in America you’ve got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.

I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.

It’s a whole different world once you get into games. You have people actually trying to hit you, the speed of the game’s a lot faster, you have a lot of different things you need to check and see. It’s a whole different world up there once game time comes.

Greenies have been part of the clubhouse culture longer than card games.

Michael Wilbon
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.

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.

Games tell stories best when they’re elliptical and ambiguous and there’s a sense of roaming and freedom.

I’m a season ticket holder to the Washington Wizards, and I love going to Washington Nationals and Redskins games.

Wolf Blitzer
I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.

Vince Carter
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.

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

We typically don’t choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.

Humor is the most precious gift I can give to my reader, a reminder that the world is not such a terribly serious place. There is more than video games and drugs and nuclear threats; there is laughter, and there is hope.

James Howe
Keeping score is for games, not friendships.

I always felt if you were going to be successful, make sure you get good people. You win with great players. Coaches don’t win games. Players win games.

Hank Stram
Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.

You play to win, to get that World Series ring, All-Star games and whatever comes with it.

Nick Johnson
There are more players on ‘Fallout Shelter‘ than all of my games combined. That’s a little sobering at times. It’s not a good or bad thing.

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.

Baseball is one of the most beautiful games. It is. It is a very Zen-like game.

I always loved playing video games. It was something my mom did, and my sister played as well.

I’ll do whatever it takes for us to win games of cricket. If I have to sledge, I’ll get involved like that. I’ll try and intimidate a player if I have to.

The big problem that is holding back Linux is games. People don’t realize how critical games are in driving consumer purchasing behavior. We want to make it as easy as possible for the 2,500 games on Steam to run on Linux as well.

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.

I am now very interested in computer technology as it is used currently to make games. I think this technology is very powerful and could be used in new ways.

I like poems that are little games.

Kids are no longer interested in reading comic books; they’ve got television and the electronic games that they can bury themselves in like ostriches. They don’t have to pay attention to what’s going on in the world around them.

Al Feldstein
I liked hacking into and pirating computer games while in college. One of my favorites was Bethesda’s ‘Terminator 2029.’ So I drove to their offices and asked for a job.

I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.

Julie Benz
I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey.

Steven Chu
I’m a huge fan of BioWare games. I think they do some of the best character-building. I mean, I have a relationship with Thane from ‘Mass Effect’ that is as vivid as any crush that I’ve had on a TV-show character.

Now I’m president. I get to meet a lot of other company presidents. They’re such weird people. I’m fascinated by them. I use some of them as enemy characters in our games.

I think it was the preparation and every thing Lombardi represented, you know, about hard work and that every game was important. So when you get to the real important games, you were ready to go.

Ray Nitschke
That is probably the best thing to do: look back on the harder games you’ve had, the tougher games, learn what I didn’t do well and what I could have done better.

Nothing I have done professionally will top the feeling I got when singing with John Farnham at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

I live more than anything else to produce the Games.

Dick Ebersol
No matter how much you’ve won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you’re not winning now, so you stink.

I always had games on Saturdays as I was growing up.

I hope that there will be more and more games that will have something to say and become a little bit more meaningful.

The torch relay is an excellent embodiment of all that the Olympic Games have come to symbolise – a celebration of the human spirit. Personally to me, it represents striving to be the best in whatever we do, never giving up despite the odds, and a commitment to health and fitness.

Lakshmi Mittal
Everybody wants to say that Kentucky fans are vicious or obnoxious. They’re not. They’re crazy in that they watch the tape of our games more than I do. But they’re passionate and smart.

I play games.

For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.

Avery Brundage
I don’t play video games because I know that if I ever started, I’d never be able to maintain a career again.

If I couldn’t broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.

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.’

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.

Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.

By the new year of 1994, it had grown up into Inform 4 and could produce games twice as large.

Graham Nelson
I’ve got to read the ‘Hunger Games’ before I see the movie.

I would like to thank the Commonwealth Games Federation for the very fair manner in which this matter has been dealt with.

Kim Collins
Most other competitions are individual achievements, but the Olympic Games is something that belongs to everybody.

Today’s Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they’re out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.

Mickey Mantle
As long as there are games to play it is not over.

I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That’s when I knew I had some athletic ability.

I’ve watched parents sometimes on the touchlines at youth games, and they are screaming and shouting, which is not the way to go.

The experience of creating my adventure games was, other than marrying my husband and bringing into the world my two sons, the most fulfilling, wonderful experience I ever had.

Roberta Williams
I’m a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare‘s prose.

I’m so over the moon that I have the opportunity to represent my country at a third Olympic Games.

Libby Trickett
And I suggested to change very simple way to Olympic Games, in one competition, two different levels. Separate from, until sixteen, and after sixteen years old.

I’ve seen 48 Stanley Cups in my life. I was about six or seven when I started going to games with my dad.

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.

To be honest, I’ve never been interested in how many games I’ve done and seen. It doesn’t mean anything to anybody. All I know is I’m eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

During the season, I usually work out two or three times a week. I’ll do a full-body workout after games. I plan it out the day of.

I think streaming technology is definitely coming, and it’s gonna make people’s access to games infinitely easier. You’ve seen it happen to music and movies, and I think it’s a great thing.

Some girls like to say one thing and mean another. And me being who I am, I’m very straightforward. Everything is very black and white for me. I don’t really like playing mind games.

The basic idea of Games With a Purpose is that we are taking a problem that computers cannot yet solve, and we are getting people to solve it for us while they are playing a game.

Luis von Ahn
There’s a lot to be learned by watching. I think the younger generation could fare a lot better in their game if they could sit down and watch some of the games of the past.

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.

Playing video games is something I enjoy in my spare time. I’m a gamer, always have been.

I hope we can build our offense and go out there and win games.

Jamal Lewis
Hell, if I didn’t drink drink or smoke, I’d win twenty games every year. It’s easy when you don’t drink or smoke or horse around.

Whitey Ford
There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.

John Romero
The overall tectonic shifts that are going on in games and more broadly in media are that everything is moving to becoming free, social, and accessible. But we’re just at the beginning of that. We can get to a day where short-session play can enhance, if not replace, text messaging as a way to stay in touch with people.

I called Daley Thompson after the Games of ’84, when he won. He’d had this phenomenal decathlon for nine events – and then he went out there and jogged the 1,500 meters and missed the world record by, like, three points.

I have an older brother and older sister. My older sister is the girliest girl on the planet, so I just hated everything about that. I did anything my brother did. He actually got me into wrestling. I watched it because he did, and I played video games because he did.

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.

Mike Wilson
If I’m sitting at home playing video games, and I’ve got a couple of minutes to myself before bed, I’m listening to music and putting a couple of playlists together. I’m passionate about music.

I know a lot is going to be on our shoulders, especially the way we’re starting games out. We have to start faster; I have to be sharper from the start, and I will be. And I’m confident that if we can get this thing started out a little better each week that we can get on that roll and be tough to stop.

I have brought a PS2 on set with me before. But games can be really addicting, and that’s dangerous. So I tend to keep it fairly limited on a certain level.

There is a vast difference between games and play. Play is played for fun, but games are deadly serious and you do not play them to enjoy yourself.

Maurice Baring
To me, I’ll always be the skinny, 5-foot-6 eighth-grader on the YMCA court, trying to get grown men to choose me for pickup games. It wasn’t always easy. And that’s what drives me.

What is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

You always want to win games and to develop the team, so it’s very important that you have encouragement from your fans.

If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn’t you like to think that’s not all there is? That you haven‘t hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?

This independent report clearly indicates that while we may differ among ourselves in government about what to spend money on, we have one of the most reliable and non-political processes for agreeing on how much money there is. We don’t play games with the numbers.

Ruth Ann Minner
I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don’t go to games.

I went to public school, elementary through high school. I went to homecoming, to football games, pep rallies, I got detention, I got an F. I’ve done it all.

Raven-Symone
I always dreamt of holding the bat and winning games for India. That was my inspiration to take up cricket.

Games sometimes can reveal things. To watch someone in movement, unconscious movement, can be very stimulating and revealing, whether they win or not.

John Turturro
I grew up playing simulation games – that’s the foundation of my racing career.

I see games… as the ultimate combination of art and technology.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

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.

Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don’t do that.

I’m not making any excuses. I got my butt kicked in certain games.

David Wells
When you get to an event like the Olympic Games, you can put too much pressure on yourself.

Eric Shanteau
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.

Asafa Powell
At last, the newspapers discovered the Bears. I kept writing articles about upcoming games, and by reading the papers, I learned editors like superlatives. I blush when I think how many times I wrote that the next game was going to be the most difficult of the season or how a new player was the fastest man in the West.

George Halas
I didn’t get to play many video games when I was growing up.

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
Primates will continue to play social games without the least insight into what is killing them.

I think that PC gaming is as healthy as it’s ever been. I think there’s probably more people playing games on their PCs, I just don’t think they’re gamers.

I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park.

Merlin Olsen
I didn’t play video games because my parents didn’t allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.

Kristin Kreuk
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 work hard on the precision of my long shots, but you can’t plan it in games. Sometimes it all just opens up for you to give it a try.

As many as three million people are expected to attend the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The security concerns and economic opportunities are great for both Canada and Washington state.

Rick Larsen
Video games are ubiquitous now.

Eugene Jarvis
But then southern hemisphere teams are more skilful than their northern hemisphere counterparts, which means games can be easier to referee.

Alan Lewis
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.

The reason people like to watch ball games is because they don’t really know exactly what‘s going to happen from moment to moment. That’s why you watch the entire thing.

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’ve kept all of my shirts that wore in the World Cup games, and I’ll be giving them to my family to keep.

The younger generation is surrounded by the Internet, apps, and video games. But somehow, my books make them read.

Chetan Bhagat
Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.

The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions.

Contra.’ ‘Duck Hunt.’ ‘Double Dragon.’ If these phrases elicit any sort of emotional response inside of you, we have something in common. I get the warm and fuzzies just saying those names out loud. Some of my best memories growing up were playing these games with my dad.

At every Olympic Games, anything can happen that nobody can predict, so I did my best to win.

Eighty-two games, it’s a long season.

I live in Beverly Hills and I’m proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I’ve lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather’s great.

The most important thing is that you can make tough decisions, discipline people when you need to, but also create a spirit to get the ultimate thing you’re aiming for, which is winning enough games.

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!

There are certain games where you have to hold your hands up, take your medicine, and move on to the next one.

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.

I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.

Just make games for yourself and try to have a critical eye to what you do. If you genuinely like the game, there will be other people who like it as well.

I think what television and video games do is reminiscent of drug addiction. There’s a measure of reinforcement and a behavioural loop.

I’m going to do the Commonwealth Games for no other reason than national pride. It’s something special getting to ride for the Isle of Man.

At the beginning of the season, you’re still getting your fitness levels up, and those first few games are quite tough.

You know they’re not going to lose 162 consecutive games.

Harry Caray
Mindset is important, I should always think about finishing games from any position.

I had no experience with broadcasting basketball games, so I took a tape recorder and went to a playground where there was a summer league, and I stood up in the top of the stands and I called the game.

Athens will again be the host of the Games in 2004, but there are rumors that they might be switched if the Greeks don’t begin to construct the sites faster.

Thatgamecompany was founded with the philosophy that games are a form of entertainment, and entertainment is the food for emotion.

I am not against cricket, but it is dominating this country. All other games are finished, because the media shows cricket 24 hours a day, the papers are full of cricketers’ photographs.

No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games.

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.

Games I do find interesting for what they say about us, about what we wish for, about the programming. But let it stop there: don’t listen to this rubbish about them actually being good for you, helping with hand-eye co-ordination or whatever. They’re games. They prepare you for nothing.

I’ve got five grandkids. They play baseball, they play football, they play basketball. I go to all the games. You always have that urge to say something when you’re watching them. But I’ve learned to keep it to myself. I’ve blurted out some things and embarrassed myself.

All we can do is win our games.

Games have always a big part of my life. I was that kid freaking out over his new Nintendo.

I got to prepare more for the games. I got to be ready for better players and starting lineups, just get a bit more focused, more prepared and got to be in better shape.

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.

All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.

Well, you know, the best compliment I’ve ever gotten from a coworker is Anna Drezen, who is a longtime friend of mine from college, which she was like – one day she turned to me and she said, you know, Bowen, you make video games seem accessible or you make it seem – you make them seem less esoteric or whatever she said.

All of us have to win games. Whether we like it or not, the graduation rates and all the things people are talking about aren’t as important as winning.

All the characters and plots were predetermined. Games make bad plots.

Margaret Weis
The problem is that when Argentina doesn’t play well – and the same is true of Barcelona – the press think it is easy to blame Messi. We have seen time and time again that he wins games on his own when the team is not performing – but the media expect him to always be the hero.

I actually do quite well in Omaha. It’s one of my better games. I love pot-limit Omaha and Omaha high-low. I do quite well in them. If I play in a casino, I usually play some kind of mixed game with Omaha and hold ’em.

I’m still no good at ball-and-stick games. If I go play golf with the guys, it’s intended to be a joke.

I don’t want to do panel games or adverts. I really like challenges. I always get roles as an art teacher or a photographer. In the future I want to play something like a mugger/assassin/pastry chef.

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.

Asafa Powell
The intention behind the high difficulty of the games I direct is to evoke a feeling of joy and accomplishment in the player when they overcome these challenges.

I don’t get nervous in any situation. There’s no such thing as nerves when you’re playing games.

‘Armada d6’ proves that some of the best games out there are still being playing on your tabletop.

I have no intention of letting this decision change the way that I approach my training and preparation for games, but the time has come for me to realise that I have gone as far as I can go with this England team.

Jonny Wilkinson
People never knew we were poor, but out of that poverty came the most incredible inventions – board games, recipes… we never stopped inventing.

The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.

I want to express my deepest apology to the athletes, the people of Salt Lake City in Utah and the millions of citizens worldwide who love and respect the games.

Juan Antonio Samaranch
10,000 athletes go and compete at an Olympic Games, only 300 go back with a gold medal, the number is very, very less.

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.

The gold medals from world championships and National Games prove the efficiency of my daily training.

You can’t really rely on a couple of athletes to deliver you medals in five consecutive Olympic Games. It’s absolutely unrealistic. You have to have a system in place where you continue to increase the depth of the sport which pushes performance levels to higher standards.

If you’re going to play at all, you’re out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

Rio is going to be my fifth Olympic games – it’s been a long journey but a rewarding one, I would say.

I’ve met my share of guys who have insulted and assaulted my intelligence with their stories and games. I say hello and goodbye!

When you lose games against Slovakia and England, you’re going to get the criticism that goes with it.

Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That’s what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league.

I made a gym, it’s the best gym in Nicaragua, I have kids that this year July 6th through the 11th will be fighting and then will go on to the Central American Games and I’m sure at least one will win a gold medal.

I play my Xbox and PlayStation at home. Then, when I’m on the road, I’ll bring my Vita with me to play games like ‘Snake Eater.’

The way Michael Vick uses his legs and is able to throw out of the pocket really changes games. The way that Aaron Rodgers is able to sit in the pocket and make throws that not a lot of people can make – I hope I can be half what those guys are and emulate it into my game.

When it comes to women, there has been a tendency to define women in sports in the context of their relationships – they watch games because their husbands watch. They’re interested because their kids play a sport. They buy tickets to a sporting event because it’s a way to spend time with family.

If I wasn’t dyslexic, I probably wouldn’t have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily… and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

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.

My wife never went to many Liverpool games but if she was out on a Saturday, she would always ask someone for the score. If we had won, she’d simply be relieved that I would be coming home in a good mood.

People often say that videogames made by Western developers are somehow different in terms of taste for the players, in comparison with Japanese games. I think that means that the Western developers and Japanese developers, they are good at different fields.

To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.

It’s a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you’re surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.

Vida Blue
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.

I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they’ve accomplished.

Sid Meier
We fight to win games and we fight for things off the field too.

It’s very important that you focus on winning games and being consistent down the stretch. I think that’s what we’re focused on. All of the other stuff about who wins and who loses and how many wins do we need, if we’re focusing on that, then that’s not good.

One game I’m always on is ‘NBA Jam.’ And ‘Bejeweled,’ games like that, and ‘Temple Run.’

It’s been a dream for me since I was six years old to go to the Olympic Games and to finally have that dream realised is something massive for me.

Natalie du Toit
I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it’s not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.

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.

The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.

Sarri taught me football. He is a coach I really like, well-prepared and even scientific in the way he analyses games.

Going 33 games unbeaten is no coincidence.

You want to play as many games as possible, you want to stay sharp, and there is nothing like game fitness.

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 parents said that sitting at home playing video games all day won’t bring you anywhere in life.

PewDiePie
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 don’t believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.

I think computing power is ready to do 3D justice. It was great for shooters and racing games in the past, but I didn’t think it was right for strategy games.

Sid Meier
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
What you have in Scotland is an unpredictability with surfaces – and I’ve already said you don’t get good games on artificial turf – and that can affect performances and results.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

There are no easy games.

Role-playing games are just an organic improvised space for storytelling.

If one asserts that buying customers below what they charge them is a corporate strategy, this is in essence an arbitrage game, and arbitrage games rarely last.

Bill Gurley
I’ve been going to soccer games since I was a kid. For me, soccer brought people together. You didn’t need money to do it. You needed one ball and your friends. That’s what’s so amazing about the game and why it’s so global.

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.

Qualifying for the Olympic Games was one of those moments where you just cry because it was like you’ve climbed Mount Everest.

Natalie du Toit
If I had a day to myself I would just play video games with my brothers.

You have guys that are all over the field that are making a lot of plays, you’ll win a lot of games in the NFL.

When I was growing up, there wasn’t too much technology. There weren’t so many channels that we were glued to on TV. We had to go outside and create our games. Kids had the habit of being active and exercising, just enjoying the fresh air.

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.

There are so many YA novels being made because there is so much young talent that can bring it to life. J-Law was one of the first females to do it with ‘The Hunger Games,’ and it’s been going on for a while now. With J-Law, it was like, ‘Hey, I’m Katniss,’ and then, ‘Hey, I just won an Oscar!’

Dexter Darden
I just want to fit in and win games for my team.

Chris Webber
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.

Ben Hogan
You give up your childhood. You miss proms and games and high-school events, and people say it’s awful… I say it was a good trade. You miss something but I think I gained more than I lost.

Mary Lou Retton
I’m not very good at action games in general and find most action games to be hard.

2012 has been an extraordinary year for our country. We cheered our Queen to the rafters with the Jubilee, showed the world what we’re made of by staging the most spectacular Olympic and Paralympic Games ever and – let’s not forgetpunched way above our weight in the medals table.

The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don’t know, these guys today don’t want to do anything like that.

There is no problem that doesn’t have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.

I grew up in Chicago, so I’ve always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we’d watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters – they were the biggest things I’ve ever seen!

Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games.

Aaron Ashmore
I think you need to understand games to write them. There’s a learning curve, just like there’s a learning curve in anything. It’s not precisely the same as film or television, but you’re using the same muscles.

Bruce Feirstein
With ‘Shinobi,’ we hope to make a film that honors the essence of the games.

I will keep working on different aspects of my games. It’s not so easy, and I need to work on every stroke.

My community was built on a foundation of organic growth through watching people play video games.

Dr Disrespect
In BJP & RSS, there are good people I respect, but some are playing dirty games.

As a co-chair of the State’s 2010 Olympics Task Force, I am working to make sure our border crossings are ready to handle the risks and benefits the Games will bring.

Rick Larsen
In the end, it’s about the teaching, and what I always loved about coaching was the practices. Not the games, not the tournaments, not the alumni stuff. But teaching the players during practice was what coaching was all about to me.

I’m pretty much an isolated person. I’d rather stay home and play video games.

If I feel I’m not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that’s the time I’d pack it in.

In both games, you have to think fast. In chess you tend to know all the patterns already, just like in football.

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.

That’s one of the great gifts of this, the greatest of all games, baseball: it allows you, still, to lose yourself in a dream, to feel and remember a season of life when summer never seemed to die and the assault of cynicism hadn’t begun to batter optimism.

I’m the biggest Blackhawks fan ever. I’ve been going to games since I was 6 years old.

I wasn’t playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.

Pedro Martinez
Obviously I want to be there at the end every time, winning games for the team.

My place of refuge is definitely watching movies and playing video games. I know that’s kind of hard to fathom.

There are many museums dedicated to technology, artistic endeavors, music, and that sort of thing. From that perspective, I think games really do have a place as a kind of collaborative art or a synthesis of all these various aspects into a whole, and that, in itself, can be perceived as art.

Positional play is good for training, but in games, to win matches, you need someone who can go past defenders and take chances.

You can’t just drop everything and focus on playing video games for a living.

I just push myself as hard as I can, in training and games.

If you never concede a goal, you’re going to win more games than you lose.

Bobby Moore
I think I’ve really stepped outside the box in the way I try to train, eat, hydrate, the cognitive brain games I play on a daily or weekly basis to try to build up some durability within my body, within my brain, to be able to go out there and play at a high level at age 38.

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.

Games are not so bad because the adrenalin keeps you going, but training on a daily basis when every time you move it hurts, that is a real battle.

John Terry
The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

I can’t play video games or games on my phone because I’ll go into a deep vortex, and no one will hear from me for weeks.

I have to leave the games now if the announcer says something I don’t agree with. I’m thinking, ‘Peyton, it is not healthy to be all worked up before a game.’

Everybody is playing games. There are games now for pretty much every age, every demographic.

Jesse Schell
More people need to understand the games secular liberals play. Here’s one rule-of-thumb: No matter how bad a story soundsparticularly if it sounds bad – recognize the pattern of defamation.

The more games you coach, the more comfortable you feel.

Scott Brooks
It’s a story of little girls who are pressed into working in sweat shops in games, who spend all day doing repetitive grinding tasks like making shirts, which are then converted into gold and sold on eBay.

Cory Doctorow
Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it’s like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.

I was a very happy child, so to speak. But, since we didn’t have video games or television, and very little radio, in terms of a form of entertainment, I used to read a lot and I would draw a lot, and those two things used to occupy my time.

Mako
I completely love playing and designing games and always will. I am so into games that I listen to game music all day. That may sound strange, but you can guarantee I’m a hardcore gamer and would never let you down by designing a crappy title.

John Romero
I’ll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can’t play games his whole life.

Brooks Robinson
Games bring another level out in you. There is no way you can train to the same intensity when you are playing a game. It is just impossible. Your head won’t allow you to do it. Because the adrenalin of a game and the importance of it steps it up to another level.
