There's nothing more ridiculous than seeing yourself in a video game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A game is like a mirror that allows you to look at yourself.
When you play a videogame, you could be a completely different person than you are in the real world, certain aspects of the way your brain works can be leveraged for something you could never do in the real world.
It is really hard to make it convincing enough that you forget you are playing a video game.
You put on this set of goggles, and within seconds, your brain is convinced you're now in a different, virtual environment. You're somewhere else, and that somewhere else may be a video game, it may be in a real-time movie, a museum exhibit, or a medical surgical training app.
To see me as a person on screen would be one of the dullest experiences you could ever wish to experience.
It's all fun and games 'till someone loses an eye, then it's just fun you can't see.
I don't play video games because I know that if I ever started, I'd never be able to maintain a career again.
When I started, people would come to interview me, and just knowing that I worked in videogames - it was like people wanted to stone me, it was that bad. People thought of video games as kind of a bad thing in society. Now, people that come to interview me, they have grown up with video games, and they know what they are; they've experienced it.
It's pretty cool to see yourself on a video game.
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.
