@livedreamplay: I think the point is more that when I was a kid in the 80's, I've heard the term "why do you keep playing these stupid video games. Go out & play. What, do you think you are going to play video games for a living when you grow up? No! Now get outside".
In other words, getting paid for something that was just a casual hobby, has now turned into a... "profession". Although I wouldn't hold on to that dream forever. 1> Don't expect to get laid that often ("So, what do you do?" "Me? Oh, I play video games... and get paid for it". "Umm... check, please!") and 2> The way technology changes, I wouldn't expect to retire as a 'gamer'.
@keel098890: "At least those playing the game are out and walking around."
- On the contrary... these "people" barely walk around. They find a hot spot, plant their arse on the ground and don't move for hours. There's a place by me that people literally bring coolers, camping chairs, additional electrical backups, and blankets so they can just sit there doing whatever it is those Pokemon players do. During the summer, I counted literally 100 of them gathered. Now, about a dozen on any given day. They.... don't.... move. If anything, this game has made people even MORE lazy. They're just outside vs. inside, head buried in phone.
Can't even give kids the benefit of the doubt that schools teach history of the world in grade school & middle school?
C'mon, do you really think that kids think the world was pre-electricity before the 1900's, wild west until the 20's, black & white until the 70's, and old fashion until the 90's... and before all that, there was nothing?
@nbf4548: Yea, good luck on that. They announced something during the day to be revealed in the evening. Not exactly much time for hype to announce something that big.
His movies are popcorn flicks. People love it because it's non-stop action with a little humor thrown in, and a bunch of nostalgia. Even though they don't look much like their 80's counterpart, the whole transformers branding, names and types of vehicles are what brings people in.
I don't expect a compelling story. I just love watching the big menacing robots & Peter Cullen as Optimus. Just wish they'd bring back Jazz in one form or another.
