Top 10 Unlikely Celebrity Gamers You Might Have Played With
01. Robin Williams (Xbox)
Yes, THAT Robin Williams - Mork Robin Williams - is a gamer. And if you happen to like Call of Duty there is only a small chance that you have played with him, because, as he explained in a Reddit Ask Me Anything Session: 'Getting my ass kicked by an 11 year old is very humbling!'
While his Xbox is the go-to console these days, he used to be a major Nintendo nerd... He named his daughter Zelda and it wasn't a family name thing, he really named her after a video game character.
Describing himself as a gamer with a full-blown addiction, the funny man has been gaming for well over 30-years and has no plans to stop now.
'It's like cyber-cocaine; especially if you're online playing against other people. It's totally addictive, you get lost in the world,' he told Australia's Daily Telegraph.These days if you are hoping to cross paths with Robin Williams online via console that's likely to happen in Need for Speed: Rivals or another sports title - though we hear he still gets in a little Viva Pinata every now and then...
Now if you are a PC gamer that's a horse of a different color. Mr. Williams is mondo-serious about his World of Warcraft characters - in fact he is well known for being an extreme PC builder who prefers to build his own overclocked and super-cooled systems.
He jokes about his WoW addiction but also about the reactions he gets from other gamers when he admits he plays the game. It seems that their first reaction is 'What? No, really?' Of course the answer is 'What me again! I dare you!'

Felicia Day
Aisha Tyler
Nathan Fillion is not here.
Wat.
good article, although i could've enjoyed it more without that long introduction..
Mila has actually done voice work for more games than you think - it seems that some of the work she does in games is under a pseudonym. As for the question as to whether she is a gamer or an addict - I have to ask, just what is the difference?
As far as the statement that consoles are for kids and PCs for adults, I don't agree with that. Not at all.
So Milla Kunis plays the voice of the chick that tries to kill the awesome Benjamin "MFK" King? Wow...
DayZ SA is the best MMO out there right now.
Consoles are for kids, PC gaming is for real adults.
I played Ultima Online for years, I wonder if I ever ran into Robin Williams unknowingly.
