One thing you might not know about me...I'm kind of a video game junkie. Well, junkie might be a bit much, but I've always loved them...even enjoy watching people play them.  I guess you'd call me a "casual" gamer.  Heck, I'll even go ahead and admit to you that I play World of Warcraft.  I tell myself it's because my artist brain gets so immersed in the beautiful graphics and story.  That works, right?

We were lucky enough to grow up with video games as kids, my brother and I. I'm talkin' Space Invaders and everything.  I remember being addicted to solitaire on our Macintosh back in the 80s.  I remember when Myst came out and everyone but Mom was addicted. I remember getting our first Nintendo and Sega and beating games with brother Gypsy in one day.  I remember how we used to laugh at eachother's faces when we played.

Also, our dad convinced us that if we moved the controller around like crazy, it helped.  Kinda like when he told us that while bowling we had to do a little dance in the direction we wanted the ball to go.  Yes, I still do that.

To get to the point, this awesome little video struck a chord with me.  Watch as photographer Robbie Cooper captures some young gamers fully immersed in their video game world.  Most of it is downright hilarious...while some of it is just a touch....creepy.
