intro
There's nothing better than a few celebrity Tweets to make up for the fact you're not at home playing Modern Warfare 3, unless of course you're "sick" right now. In which case you can just click through this gallery while you're waiting to respawn. You should probably eat something, too. You look terrible.
Naturally, Twitter's been invaded by MW3 chatter since the game's midnight launch. Let's not forget Skyrim, though, which hits shelves on Friday. The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection came out yesterday as well, though we couldn't find any celebrities giving a damn about that. "SNAAAAAAAAAKE!"
Click through to see what the celebs are saying about games this week.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on MW3
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on MW3
Former wrestler, "actor," King of Scorpions
From what we can surmise, Dwayne is implying he had already made love to his significant other last night, and was therefore free to play MW3 until sunrise. His use of the word "dominated" may clue us in to his favorite MW gametype: Domination. Also, he's going to stomp on some noobs. Also, does The Rock play video games? We may be reading too much into this.
Ice T gets philosophical

Former rapper, avid gamer, real name "Tracy"
In the midst of a full on flame war, one can always count on Ice T to keep it real (and make fun of virgins).
Jason Mewes attended midnight release at Gamestop

Silent Bob's BFF
Apparently Mewes picked up the game at midnight at a Gamestop in LA. He even took the time to tweet about it, tying it in somehow with NOOBZ, his new movie about some nerds trying to get to a Gears of War tournament. He also said "pee pee and the bung!!" Yeah, no idea.
Jonah Hill made a MW3 commercial with Sam Worthington

Hill: former fat person / Worthington: former Australian person
You can watch it here. It's a continuation of the "soldier in all of us" ad campaign in which a Vet (Worthington) teaches a noob (Hill) how to waste scrubs. It looks expensive, and it makes us feel nice inside.
Comedian Kevin Hart is stuck in the past

Was in this part of The 40 Year Old Virgin
Look, Kevin, we know BF3 is intense. But it's so old news. Mike Tyson tweeted about the EA VIP kit like, two weeks ago. Get with the times, brah. MW3 is out, now. Maybe Activision will hook you up if you ask nicely (and tweet generously).
Samantha Ronson asks a stupid question

Lindsay Lohan's British DJ ex-girlfriend
She's is more behind the times than Kevin Hart. Of course MW3 is better than Black Ops. It has a three in the title. Idiot.
Quddus Philippe is stoked about Jane's Addiction
Quddus Philippeis stoked about Jane's Addiction
Former Total Request Live host, current dreamy Canadian
Apparently he caught the slightly washed up band's performance at the Skyrim launch party last night. In other news, there was a bangin' Skyrim launch party last night. Jane's Addiction played there. Yeah.
John Cho can count to four

Kumar's BFF
John Cho was kind enough to let Twitter know that one of the dudes in Jane's Addiction wasn't wearing a shirt. How does this relate to Skyrim? Not sure. Maybe try the next one.
Jessica Chobot loves Wonder Woman
Jessica Chobot loves Wonder Woman
Nerd, IGN and G4 Host
Chobot is somehow notorious for her love of Wonder Woman, so meeting Lynda Carter, the actress who played the lasso-of-truth-wielding hero in the original '70s show, must have been awesome for her. Here's the pic (it's adorable). Carter has provided the voices for female Orc and Nord character in the Elder Scrolls games since Morrowind. Wait a second—she's hot and she can do a good Orc voice? Consider us cougared.
Tyson Ritter was there

All-American Rejects frontman
And just in case you wanted to hear more about the Skyrim party without actually learning anything about Skyrim, Tyson Ritter from the All-American Rejects just wants you to know that, hey, man, he was there. And he doesn't even care. Dude is ice cold. Here's the pic. And no, we didn't miss the joke. We're just above it.
Mickey Factz liked Uncharted 2 better than Uncharted 3

Bronx hip hop artist
And just to wrap it up (because you know you care), we've got a couple that are actually unrelated to MW3 or Skyrim. Factz just finished Uncharted 3, and he thinks that Uncharted 2 was "ummm" better. Whatever, man. Like Natey Drakezz gives a damn what you think.
Tory Belleci sums up our relationship with Angry Birds
Tory Belleci sums up our relationship with Angry Birds
One of the guys from Mythbusters
Finally, Tory Belleci busts out a totally poignant poem (we think it's a poem) about his relationship with Angry Birds, which happens to be really similar to our relationship with Angry Birds, i.e., we're sick of it. The post break-up sex wasn't even that great—Solitaire on our old desktop computers has been giving us better for years.
Tune in next week for more trivial but riveting celebrity tweets about video games.
