I watched it last night and I must've missed that. I guess I gotta rewatch the episode.

It was something to do with him on the train, so I'd imagine this comment has been twisted and distorted somewhat. 

As you'd expect, really.

GTA? Really? Good thinking, Ed Sheeran's mom! If he played GTA, he might have never unleashed his inner talent! He could have played other game though.

You have as much of a chance being a famous musician as you do being a professional video gamer. Talents lie where talents lie.

I'm pretty sure that there are successful people who did play video games though.

In fact there´s a lot of better musicians that plays videogames.

Good for him. It's a nice distraction but it can easily lead to compulsive gaming and ends up being a waste of time.

If/when I have kids I won't let them play a ton until they're 8 or 9. Learn to go outside and play normally, spending half the waking day in front of an LCD display is not healthy for a kid IMO.

As if you can't have more than one hobby? Lol. What an egocentric asshole.

Funny, Grand Theft Auto games introduced me to some excellent music and broadened my tastes.

It's also funny the way he and his mom think, if he's even his own person with all that mom bullshit (I love my mom). He didn't have a TV (what the heck else would you hook up the console to anyway?) because his mom didn't want him to be sat in front of it all day. He didn't have a console because his mom didn't want him to play games all the time. Well fuck, you can have both of those things and not waste your life with them. If you're a good parent, you'll give your kid things to play with/watch but watch over what they're watching/playing and how much time they're spending with the things.

I would think someone who can play a guitar would have good eye-hand coordination.

And eye-hand coordination?  You look at your controller when playing?
