Games Quotes

Your body is not made to throw like we throw. That’s why you see softball pitchers pitching two or three games a day. It’s a natural movement in softball. In baseball it’s not a natural movement Picture Quote #1

Life is like the baseball season, where even the best team loses at least a third of its games, and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. The goal is not to win every game but to win more than you lose, and if you do that often enough, in the end you may find you have won it all Picture Quote #1

Before I joined professional baseball, I started umpiring in San Diego, California. I worked 155 games in a five-month season. For three years in a row, I was working tripleheaders on Saturday and doubleheaders on Sunday Picture Quote #1

The math works. Over the course of a season, there’s some predictability to baseball. When you play 162 games, you eliminate a lot of random outcomes. There’s so much data that you can predict: individual players’ performances and also the odds that certain strategies will pay off Picture Quote #1

That’s what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that’s great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on Picture Quote #1

I’m a competitive type of person, whether it’s playing a game of basketball or playing business games Picture Quote #1

Trip Hawkins - and this was the early 1980s - was saying there’s going to be a day when everyone has a computer and they’re going to want to do more on it, including playing games. So he started up a company, EA Sports, and he was going to have three games, football, basketball and baseball. So I was the football game Picture Quote #1

We’re still getting better as a team. We’re still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games Picture Quote #1

The more downtime we have, the more time you have to play games like ‘Ghost Recon Future Soldiers,’ so for me it’s a fun way to get integrated into video games and for me to have fun with my buddies and team up and go into battle with ‘em, kind of like out there on court Picture Quote #1

Most people get excited about games, but I’ve got to be excited about practice, because that’s my classroom Picture Quote #1

To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it’s so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it’s just a dream Picture Quote #1

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It’s very special to me Picture Quote #1

Somewhere in your house is a game that could use a good beating. Pick it up. Play to the end. Get all the achievements/trophies out of it. So you’ve maxed out all your points. Play it again at a harder difficulty. Do something. It’s startling the number of games people own but haven’t beaten for one reason or another Picture Quote #1

People talk about the prestige of beating records but prestige never bought me dinner in a restaurant. It’s winning games that does that Picture Quote #1

When I started finishing games and coming off the field shaking hands, it was a beautiful thing. I mean, you start seeing that you’re an important part of the team Picture Quote #1

Though I respect hugely the effort and the care and the beauty of games, I want to be working with people who want to create the ‘War and Peace’ of games, the ‘Citizen Kane’ of games, and not just be warming up George Romero Picture Quote #1

When you win 20 games in a row and then lose four, people ask you, ‘What happened?’...That’s the beauty of sports Picture Quote #1

As a parent with young children, I would always find little things that bothered me when I was reading bedtime stories or watching shows or listening to children’s music. I couldn’t find any stories, games or television shows that were fun and exciting while also being morally instructive and patriotic Picture Quote #1

Games is like hardwired plumbing in the house of pop. It’s not pop itself, its sort of like the behind-the-scenes arteries and capillaries of pop music Picture Quote #1

I love just lying on the floor at home watching games with my dad. No pressures, just being me Picture Quote #1

I pride myself as being a very supportive parent. I go to my daughter’s soccer games. I hit most of them. I try to go to all of them Picture Quote #1

Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best ‘special effects’ in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in Picture Quote #1

I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn’t going to win any more games by being anything else Picture Quote #1

Being aware is being aware of one’s own mind and the games it plays on itself Picture Quote #1

When I was young, it was fun being in the locker room and shagging balls in the outfield in spring training. But I couldn’t keep my attention on the games for more than 30 minutes. I would sit there with my Game Boy the whole game Picture Quote #1

I’m known as being a massive dweeb who’s into video games and so on Picture Quote #1

Although I’m perceived as very optimistic and upbeat, it comes out of being the opposite of that - feeling isolated or lonely, looking for meaning and the kinds of things that ease that suffering in life, and finding them in large-scale social interaction, like theater and games Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people have had their eyes open, shocked that the team they thought they were on didn’t exist, and that the games were not being played to win. I guess it’s shocking to a lot of people Picture Quote #1

Being young is an advantage. You’ve grown up with games as the dominant entertainment. You have a lot of experience of video games. So what do you want to see that’s not been done? Innovation is really low cost for you. You can afford to take risks and fail to execute new ideas Picture Quote #1

I ain’t got no time to play no games I’ll be damned if I let another bitch drive me insane Picture Quote #1
