I started off with sim driving, playing ‚Gran Turismo,‘ and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.

In the old generation, if one kid bought a PlayStation 2 and the other kid bought an Xbox, at his house you played PlayStation, at your house you played Xbox. Now that it’s online, all those early buyers who… you want to play with, they’ve got their reputation online of who they are and how good they are at these games.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

I’m bad at picking heroes.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.

I like my fair share of board games.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.

You can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.
