I don't think we're allowed to have fun here.
So, in the spirit of debate, contention, and all normalcy,
I do not think we'll see video games in heaven...
I think they'll be in that other place.
Especially candy crush.
And I'm not necessarily admitting I know what candy crush is.

This thread is unbelievably sad. Heaven is about Christ and his glory, not to gratify our earthly pleasures. Church service is a glimpse of the joy of heaven, together worshipping and fellowshipping in the Lord. If heaven is about having fun with video games, I'd rather give it up.
Just to to sit at the feet of Christ for all eternity is far better than what you said. We won't be focused on loved ones, pets, or anything of this world, but on the beauty of God's holiness on grand display, what more could you ask? If he isn't our deepest joy, our grandest thought, our ever-increasing happiness, we need to know him better. When you go to the Grand Canyon do you do anything other than be enthralled at the sight? I don't often quote John Piper, but, "...we were made to experience full and lasting happiness from seeing and savoring the glory of God. If our best joy comes from something less, we are idolaters and God is dishonored. He created us in such a way that his glory is displayed through our joy in it. The gospel of Christ is the good news that at the cost of his Son's life, God has done everything necessary to enthrall us with what will make us eternally and ever-increasingly happy, namely, himself."
If God loves his glory more than anything, then how much should we be in love with it? He saved us to share in what makes him happy, and video games aren't even on that list.
Our view of God in this day and age needs to be recovered.

If you worship God while playing video games, they might be in heaven, yes 
I would like to see animals there. Not even "my animals" just "animals" I'd like to see them in peace in glory, and tell them that this is how it's supposed to be, and tell them how sorry I am for botching up the world they live in :/

Agreed.
I have a garden out back in a 14' X 14' yard. I'm rearranging it now, (cement yard, so all the plants are in containers), and really enjoying the "what goes where best" thingy at this level of creativity. I chose the plants. I chose the containers. I chose the structures (well, hubby chose the grill and the table lol) and even chose ornaments. But, the reality is I didn't create a thing. Someone else made everything out there but the plants, and God made the plants.
Meanwhile, we live in a universe so vast, we can't even see all the planets, suns, moons and other objects zooming through space. Even if we can see another planet, we've only seen what is on one other planet through a camera. We've never experienced the rest, and there is a lot we can't experience, even if we have the technology.
I made my garden from pride and to be enjoyed. God made the universe from his pride. The universe is God's garden -- his pride and joy. I suspect he's going to show us around it to marvel in even bigger ways on who he is! What is a video game compared to Alpha Centaur? What is my garden compared to what he has hidden away from everyone on a toxic planet we will never even know exists until he shows it to us? He's going to show us everything and we will be mighty proud of him!

Yes, he was. He spoke of God quite often. He spoke of how we should love each other and do as Jesus did. Keep in mind that God knows our hearts, and He certainly knows what Michael's heartset was..
But anyhoo, to stay on topic, I want to see ducks in heaven. Lots and lots of ducks and an infinite supply of bread..

You feed ducks with bread but don't like it when we neighbors feed pigeons and wrens with bread? Ducks poop bigger!
(I hope you weren't drinking something when you read that. I hate liquid going out my nose. lol)

Okay, I'm going there. Where you will not travel.
The best post-9/11 joke I heard.
A Muslim terrorist blows himself up in a suicide vest, and, sure enough, lands at the gates of heaven. George Washington spots him, walks over and tells him, "I don't like what you've done to my country." Then he clobbers him in the face and walks away.
Patrick Henry walks by, tells him the same thing, and punches him in the gut.
And then Thomas Jefferson wanders by, yells at him and knees him in the groin.
By then St. Peter shows up. The Muslim says, "What's going on here? This is heaven, and I'm supposed to get 70 virgins!"
St. Peter laughs and says, "No. You get 70 Virginians!"
