A Quote by Kumail Nanjiani
A lot of people say video games can be stifling. Older people say, 'We had to go outside, and we had to make up stories!' For me, video games broadened my horizons. Playing 'Golden Axe,' I was those characters. I imagined myself being in that world, so honestly, it was a really good thing.

The thing video games had to learn was to write, which is not to let people choose their own stuff, but actually prescribe it. To say, "This character is not a blank canvas that you can project onto.

Video games made the mistake of thinking everything had to be projectable, and this doesn't do that at all.

Selling five million units in less than 14 months means DS is the fastest among any game machines ever launched in Japan to hit that level.

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.
