When a person playing a video game is so involved, so focused that they only have sights for the screen, then maybe, just maybe, they
will get “the glow”. You know the glow when you see it. When someone has the glow, they are so in the zone that any outside interruption
will throw them completely off, and they could respond with violent repercussions.
The first recorded
time someone had the glow was in Hollywood, California in 1999 when
Billy Mitchell completes the first-ever perfect game of Pac-Man.
“
Hey what’s up with
Johnny?”
“Quiet, bro! He’s been trying to beat a Halo CE Lassi campaign speedrun! He’s almost done, and man, he has the
glow!”
