Millions of F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans across the world are heartbroken by the sudden demise of Matthew Perry. The 54-year-old actor was renowned for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in the famous sitcom. While the character was well known and loved for speaking fluent sarcasm, he is also remembered for his love for video games.

Perry was loved not just as an actor, but for his off-screen persona as well. He was largely seen as humble and modest, who kept his feet on the ground. While his fans are left saddened by his death, the gaming community will forever remember him, not only as Chandler Bing but also as a hardcore gamer who once injured his hand because he played too much.

Matthew Perry loved gaming on the Xbox

Many people might not know that Matthew Perry was an avid gamer. So much so that at one point he had to visit a “hand doctor” because of the amount of time he spent playing Fallout 3. While there were many criticisms against the title, Perry remained a loyal fan of Bethesda’s award-winning FPS. The Fallout titles are a highly popular series from Bethesda and Perry couldn’t get enough of it.

While appearing on an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show back in 2009, Perry awed fans with his proclamation. He said the post-apocalyptic set-up of Fallout 3 made him a fan instantly and he loved “running around and killing things.”
