Halloween and The Thing director John Carpenter is a big fan of first-person shooter video games, and his favorite, at least right now, is Gearbox Software's 2012 hit Borderlands 2.
"There's no better game on the face of the earth," Carpenter told Esquire.
How did Carpenter get into video games in the first place? He said that when his son started playing video games as child, he also got hooked.
"They're just so much fun. So I've kept abreast of everything over the years. I have four systems here in the house. The old Xbox and the new Xbox and the old PlayStation and the new one. So I play all the new games," Carpenter said.
He went on to say that he's not very interested in fantasy-themed games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. He would rather wield a gun. "I don't know, I like to shoot things," Carpenter said.
