Ernest Cline Video Quotations

Before I became a full-time writer, I worked in tech support in those giant cubicle farms you see. I was surrounded by people who played video games all the time - sometimes actually in the call centers, playing online multiplayer games. I saw friends of mine who began to feel that going online was more compelling to them than real life.

I felt like a kid standing in the world's greatest video arcade without any quarters, unable to do anything but walk around and watch the other kids play.

As far as my house, I have a ton of video games and three or four old consoles.

Video games paid for my house. What am I saying? Go ahead and keep playing!
