“I consider myself a gamer,” said Arnett, who provided additional voice work for Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2. “When you look at the time spent gaming, versus other entertainment outlets whether it’s watching TV or watching movies; for me, I probably spend more time gaming. I want my video games to be entertaining. You realize that video games are a real outlet that needs to be taken seriously.”
