Poll: How old are you and why do you play video games?

[Desert Tiger]

I'm 17 and I play because it's a good vent of frustrations.

 

[damselgaming]

I am 19, and I play because it's good times all round. I started when I was 3 and I have been having fun ever since.

 

[BlackLadybug]

18 and PC gamer

I play games because it's fun and it calms me down. Some games are also cool art-wise

 

[Ithos]

21

Because I am a gamer. It's a hobby, a lifestyle and sence I'm studying animation, it'll possebly become my job. When I hit 80 and Duke Nukem Forever is finaly released, I'll still be gaming. Some people like sports, some people like cars. We love games.

 

[HentMas]

i am 23, and i play Video Games because of the stories and the diferrend world you get to explore in them.

 

[Woodsey]

I am 15 and play video games for mega-funs lulz. It's also pretty much the only thing that can stop me thinking about T & A constantly.

Been playing since I was 5.

 

[CargoHold]

I'm 17 and play to unwind and enjoy the artiness of nice games.

 

[Larnx]

I'm 15 and play video games to relax ( and to pop some heads!). Or was it the other way around? I dunno...

 

[Uncompetative]

I am 39. It is nice to see what other game developers have done with their games and how this new medium is evolving. It gives me ideas...

 

[ToMegaTherion]

I am 17 and I play games because the world of gaming is limitless

 

[Emilie Diabolica]

i am 18. i play to escape, relax, and/or pass time.
in regards to subject matter, i only play zombie games when i'm angry. i play RPGs (oblivion, in particular) to escape from my world when it becomes too much to handle...
i'd go into an in-depth analysis of the games i play and what states of mind i'm in to play them etc but i dont think it matters....

=\

 

[JonnoStrife]

I am 15 and I play because they are the most entertaining and stimulating way to spend my time other than the 4chan and books.

 

[TikiShades]

15, and I play video games to escape reality, hone tactic prowess, and develop critical and analytical thinking.

 

[falcon1985]

I'm 24, and my gaming is a stress relief valve.

 

[Cylem]

17--I play because I'm an escapist and I enjoy the role-playing aspect of most games. I also love artistic graphics, and have friends who play with me.

Also it's really, really fun.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I am 17 and I play games, simply because I really enjoy them.

My favourite types would be FPS and action adventure games such as god of war.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

15. I still play games. Ironically I found more interesting and better people online on Xbox Live than in my school, which is usually populated by a bunch of fucking idiots.

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

19- i play games cause i hate everybody and playing computer games allows me to kill some time before death without talking to people

 

[Sebenko]

18.

Gotta be escapism of some form, because I sure as hell don't enjoy all my games all the time (Oblivion and your stupid combat, I'm looking at you. Might be better than morrowind's combat, but better than shit isn't much of an improvement, is it? At least morrowind realised it's combat was crap and avoided it most of the time.)

 

[CrysisMcGee]

24. I play PC games because I grew up with Wolfenstein 3d and such. Been playing games as long as I can remember. I play them because they are better than video games, and are more rewarding.
