Watch the video.  It is an interesting video as most of Vsauces videos are.

If you post a question in the title, is your VGC experience not telling you people will just respond to that without reading the first post?

they are 182 now! buahahaha

Association Football naming fact = In Italy they refer to it as calcio, literally translated to kick. Hence Associazione Calcio Milan or AC Milan. Of course then you have Juventus FC which besides having FC for football club also has a J in its name...there is no letter J in Italian.

On gaming, once we had free time and discretionary funds we developed activities to fill those. There is a reason almost all modern sports originated in 1800s. Was the first time we (in significant numbers) weren't working all the time in a field or mine or mill. We derive enjoyment from it so it has grown to the empire it is today.

Another way, "We all serve one champion, one king, and his name is gaming, forever may he reign."

Came into thread to say, "Because they are fun. DUH!!!" Then I saw his face and I knew this was going to turn into something a lot more interesting than it could have been.

Vsauce is pretty recognizable and I can't help it if people does not watch the video before they comment.  The video should speak for it's self without the need of me babbling on about something.  I thought it was interesting so i put it on here.  I dont expect 100 comments but people really need to watch the video before making comments.

It is just for fun but also for the experiences many games bring that are just not possible in real life

I play games because I can murder without consecuences. My favourite game is Rapelay, by the way.

Real life can be real stale or difficult at times. Video games let me take on a specific role that I know i will never be able to accomplish (RPG fan btw) and It just feels nice to explore and fight my way across worlds very different from our own and in online games, meet other like-minded individuals, just like you would in sports and other recreational/social activities. Nerd first, man second. When I play, I don't care about an upcoming test or work or any other problem, but I know I have to tackle those regardless.
