As the original ‘gamer generation’ from the 80′s and 90′s ages, we can see video games break deeper into the culture. Video games used to only be for kids, but now it’s acceptable for grown ups to game. Many games are even made exclusively for adults. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World was a great example of video games breaking into the mainstream even more. This violin music video starring Eric Speed has a very strong Scott Pilgrim feel, and is awesome in every way.
Angry Birds has gone from being a cute little puzzle game in 2009 to a huge cultural phenomenon now. There are T-shirts, stuff animals, and tons of other Angry Birds merchandise.

The video is shared by HuffingtonPost, ChrisMenning, and TheFW.
Most gamers like to play gun games at the arcade because of the added realism. But no one takes it as seriously as this Thai gamer. He ducks and hides behind the machine when under fire, even though that isn’t registered in the game. He runs during scenes when his character moves. He even motions and communicates with his non-existent teammates. He really gets into the game. But you know what? He’s having an awesome time, so that’s what really matters. The game’s creators would be proud.
Angry Birds came out in the end of 2009 and since then has sold millions of copies. The game has crept into main stream pop culture, showing up in TV shows, on t-shirts, and in other viral videos.

Gotta get those pigs!
