I don't know. I guess, if it weren't for video games, I'd have gone out and done more things, instead of staying indoors and playing. Still, I was doing what made me happy. They never stopped me from being normal (shut up.). I do know that purchasing video games have been the source of countless arguments between me and my girlfriend. But if it weren't video games, it'd be movies or comic books or music or porn or wrestling or guns or fishing (hate fishing) or one of a thousand other things that I'd be doing to escape from reality.
