Will Arnett aka Gob from Arrested Development is a big gamer.

Here is his xbox gamertag

Wow he got a 1250 on Crackdown, looks like he liked hunting orbs

 

[Night Hunter]

Bobbi Starr is way more old-school than you

Okay. This blew my mind.

 

[MattyG]

They really need to fuck each other.

Spoiler

They're over 16, right?

 

[Gorger]

Wow he got a 1250 on Crackdown, looks like he liked hunting orbs

Haha yep, and a fan of Resident Evil which is pretty cool

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Well, I like Pitch Black so Vin Diesel?

 

[WrenchNinja]

That one woman from LOST who criticized the Xbox One DRM plans on twitter and got an angry message from her agent.

Anyone know which actress?

 

[Lyonaz]

Bobbi Starr is way more old-school than you

Bobbi Starr is awesome.

Yeah Vin Diesel is great, definitely my favourite.

 

[pinkurocket]

Doesn't the kid from the Walking Dead tv-series have a gaming channel and stuff? I forgot his name.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Comedian/Actor Kumail Nanjiani from silicon valley has a video game podcast with his wife called the indoor kids.

Nice. This guy is funny. I am not much into his CC show The Meltdown as it seems too scripted but tried to play off spontaneous. However he just did this week's episode of Garfunkel and Oates and was great in it. By the way that show is great, very clever. Really reminds me of Flight of the Concords.

 

[Deadpool_X]

4 pages in and no mention of our favorite stoner from the Great White North, Seth Rogen?

http://youtu.be/g0ZqVQZiJSc

I mean, the guy is adopting Console Wars into a movie, for what it's worth!

 

[Mupod]

Vin Diesel

;_;

Cannibal Corpse's singer George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is a huge WoW fan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_Lv0r-l4c

For the Horde!

He used to play on my server, I only know because once people found out they wouldn't shut up about it on our server forum. Listening to that interview, and considering I knew everybody on Burning Blade back then, wouldn't surprise me if I'd still recognize the names of his characters (if I knew what they were).

 

[Zeth]

Muh hero

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Childish Gambino of course.

They really need to fuck each other.

Spoiler

They're over 16, right?

What the hell.. is wrong with....YOU?!

 

[Verder]

Danny Brown played P4G... what.

I'm surprised.

 

[d00d3n]

Stephen Fry was very into some early video games, but does not appear to play many modern ones (my interpretation of the video):

[moggio]

Childish Gambino of course.


What the hell.. is wrong with....YOU?!

I never said I'd watch, but they make a cute couple. A bit of brother on brother action is pretty standard in gay porn. It's just a bit of light-hearted bumming.

 

[Who]

Also, sort of, Conan O'Brien, Ice-T and Dave Chapelle(is/was a huge WoW nerd)

Honorable mention. Whoopi Goldberg made me a fan of hers for this video, which I think everyone should see:

RICK FOX says Pro Gamers Are Athletes on 'The View'

Man.. Videogames as an art form? Absofuckinglutely. As an acceptable medium to tell an emotional story? Sure.

I'll stick up for videogames any day of the week against the negative social stigma it has with a large part of the population.

Videogamers as athletes? I just can't defend or wrap my head around that.

Professional gamers sure. After all there are professional chess players. But let's not call them athletes.

How dare you question Justin Wong's athleticism.

 

[TheListener]

Fillion and Jon Stewart are my favorites.

 

[Señor Coyote]

Ice-T

 

[Taco_Human]

That lin guy (linearity? ) plays Dota 2.

Masi Oka (Played Hiro Nakamura on "Heroes") from Wikipedia:

He was at one time a leader of the raiding guild Dawn of Valor (Spinebreaker US realm) in World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG video game. [20] His player character was named Kamiosa, an anagram of his real name.

From Kotaku:

Entering the press room at BlizzCon 2010 late Saturday afternoon, I overheard one of Blizzard's PR people arguing that Final Fantasy XIII was the best in the series. I couldn't help but get involved. Neither could Heroes star Masi Oka.

I didn't get involved in the conversation because Masi was standing there. I got involved in the conversation because someone, who shall remain nameless, was calling Final Fantasy XIII the best game in the Final Fantasy series.

As I approached, an attractive Asian female started to loudly argue that Final Fantasy VII was the greatest game in the series, hands-down. The Blizzard PR rep argued that it was overrated. I crassly commented that Final Fantasy VII was only popular because teen girls want to see Cloud and Sephiroth making out.

The argument went on for nearly a full minute before I realized I was in a Final Fantasy discussion with Hiro Nakamura and his female companion. I wasn't even sure it was him until he held out his hand and offered, "Hi! I'm Masi."

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Tyler, the Creator's a big Halo fan.

Dude keeps posting Instagram videos of himself kicking his friends asses at MarioKart8 as Princess Peach the past few weeks.

Bobbi Starr is way more old-school than you

hnnnnnnng...Grim Fandango name drop...I..uhh...brb

I haven't heard most of the celebrities mentioned here, I guess I'm getting outdated.

Anyway, I heard that KorN likes Haze.

Maybe he meant Maize or Haize?

 

[sub_o]

Gaming for me is a religion, and Haze is the shit

 

[kai3345]

How dare you question Justin Wong's athleticism.

bahaha

But yeah Danny Brown knows his shit and he's a very vocal Persona evangelist, which gives him a ton of points in my book. Now he just needs to drop a Persona reference in one of his songs.

Surprising nobody mentioned John Carpenter yet. He even mailed his personal top 6 for 2013's GOTY to Giantbomb:

http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/john-carpenter-s-top-six-games-of-2013/1100-4814/

John Carpenter's Best Video Games of 2013

1. ASSASSIN'S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG - Classic ASSASSIN'S CREED gameplay, awesome world, fabulous game.

2. FAR CRY 3 - Magnificent open world adventure

3. THE LAST OF US - Great characters make this a classic

4. DEAD SPACE 3 - Scary snow world and twitching monsters - Please dismember

5. REMEMBER ME - Unique female leading character in futuristic action game

6. BORDERLANDS 2 - I know, I know, it's from 2012, but the last add-on is this year and this is a brilliant, funny, action-blasted game! My favorite!

John Carpenter

 

[sub_o]

Okay. This blew my mind.

Something something blown.

Glad to hear that she's into old-school games!

 

[Black Mantis]

Pam Grier, my all time perfect woman from her Blaxploitation days. She's the DJ on the Soul station in GTA V as well.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Zachary Levi from Chuck is a huge gamer.

Chuck in general had a bunch of gamers involved. Not only is Zachary Levi a legit gamer but so is Josh Gomez and Adam Baldwin and I forget where I saw it but I'm pretty sure Yvonne Strahovski has mentioned that she enjoys gaming as well.

 

[Dragon]

Eliza wants a word with you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-nRGFpXDQY

Eliza went to a high school not too far from me. She seems pretty grounded for a sort of B tier celeb.

Chuck in general had a bunch of gamers involved. Not only is Zachary Levi a legit gamer but so is Josh Gomez and Adam Baldwin and I forget where I saw it but I'm pretty sure Yvonne Strahovski has mentioned that she enjoys gaming as well.

I hear she enjoys Mass Effect.

jack black conquered project gotham racing 2

Off topic: This is exactly the reason of why I like achievements/trophies. No more taking photos to myself to keep the record of what I conquered.

On-Topic: Nathan Fillion even plays games on his tv series "Castle". I saw him playing Starhawk.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

John Carpenter is pretty cool, I'll go with him as one of my favorites.

 

[TheSeks]

Michelle Rodriguez is the first major feature film actress i can remember who really seemed hardcore into gaming. Remember reading an interview for OPM back in the day while she was promiting driver 3, her gamer references seemed legit.

https://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&...ZNtmBAsYJILQBePSQ&sig2=8L-yxdiKOr4r562cZFnFPA

Not really surprised. She hangs out with Vin Diesel, who is a huge nerd.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Robert Kazinsky (the Aussie son/pilot from Pacific Rim) is an avid WoW player, and he said getting to be in the Warcraft film was incredible but tough because he'd fanboy so hard at times.

lol, that's awesome

Didnt know he was gonna be in Warcraft. Dug his performance in Pacific Rim.

 

[kamspy]

Joe Rogan use to be a Quake fanatic.

He one of the best things about Portlandia, whenever he does cameo. Look up his Cell Phone or Restaurant bit if you can

So John Carpenter says that dead space 3 is a scary game in a snow world. Something seems ery odd to me, but nevertheless he is very cool to play such games in the age of 70+.

 

[Piano]

Matthew Perry was open about how much he played Fallout 3, which led to him playing Benny in New Vegas.

Whoa, I had no idea. Cool!

 

[Hedrush]

Andy Murray is a serious gamer.

[jesu]

I hear she enjoys Mass Effect.

Would it be weird if she romanced Miranda in it?

 

[Majine]

 

[Resident4t.]

Duncan Jones is a pretty obvious one.

He talks about games on twitter a lot.

I had no idea that Miyamoto was a gamer!

Professional gamers sure. After all there are professional chess players. But let's not call them athletes.

Much like videogames as art is an OPINION, in MY OPINION the types of people who play DOTA2 and have training houses where they are setup by their sponsors where they live for months at a time to ONLY play that game? Why is it so hard to fathom? :/

Think about it this way: Is a person who sits in a chair flying an unmanned drone 5,000 miles away from the combat area still considered a soldier?

 

[matrixman92]

I think Aubrey Plaza said somewhere that she plays games.....and of course, Robin Wiliiams

 

[Astral]

Any examples of how into gaming Vin Diesel is? I had no idea.

Henry Cavill is a self-proclaimed PC gamer, not sure what games he plays nex to WoW though.

He nearly missed this role because he was doing a raid in WoW and off course you can't stop when your playing. And it was zack snyder who called him.

This is hilarious.
