U shouldn´t be joking about thoose things trust me I know.

 

He might not be joking.  Or, it may be true, and he jokes about it as a self defence mechanism.  So, you might be the insensitive one.  Or, he could just be an ass.  8)

I might be sensitive since i´ve gone through that shit so you are right on that point.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

How many here uses gaming as a substitute for sexual relations with your partner?

 

I certainly hope you don't.

I use it afterwards, when she goes to sleep. :)



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

For as long as I can remember, I've been using games, books, movies and TV to run away from all my problems. I am really bad at dealing with certain things, even if I am slowly learning to do so.

All of these things makes all my problems fade away. Books are particularily effective, and once I start reading I do not want to return to reality. Naturally, this has brought its own problems, like a somewhat limited social life.

So I don't game just because it's fun, I game because it takes me away from all my problems, it makes me feel in control and I do not need to feel powerless, useless or stupid. Games that do not make me feel in control does not appeal to me, usually.

Or at least this was how it was when I was growing up. Nowadays I feel more in control of my life (though still not fully...) and that may be contributing to the fact that I play less and less, and that my taste is changing. Social games appeal more and more to me, such as Guitar Hero and Wii Sports.

@OP
That was a great post. I feel that those are three very well thought out reasons that do apply to me as well.

I remember reading a yahoo news article that basically summarized some psychology studies, which said that we play games for the same reason that we play sports, and for the same reason that we one-up our buddies; Its all about competition and more importantly, winning.

That's why there aren't that many girl gamers. Yeah, i know that the cool ones are, but that's besides the point.
