As you’re probably already aware, Matthew Perry passed away at the weekend, aged just 54. It goes without saying that he was most famous for bringing to life the character of Chandler Bing in the massively popular sitcom Friends, and was also notable for starring in movies such as Fools Rush In and The Whole Nine Yards.

Perry was also an avid video gamer, and would regularly post about the games he was playing on his Twitter account. He appeared on The Ellen Show and spoke about how he played Fallout 3 so much that he injured his hand (an admission that would earn him a voice acting credit in Fallout: New Vegas as the character Benny).

Perry’s connection with video games stretches back pretty far; in an early season of Friends, Chandler famously interrupts a discussion taking place in front of his laptop with the zinger, “You guys wanna play Doom?” Perry was known for writing some of his own gags for the show, and this could well have been one of his contributions – a joke which shows just how on the pulse the show was when it came to recognising cultural flashpoints (Doom had only just been released at this point).

When Friends ended in 2004, the book Friends ‘Til The End: The One With The Whole Ten Years covered every season from behind the scenes. Included at the end were photos of each actor’s dressing room – and Perry’s is notable for including a  TV and several game consoles, including an N64, PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Even during his downtime on the show, he was blowing off steam via video games.
