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

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm 21 and gaming is a fun escape. I also love the interactive story-telling

 

[Hooded-hyena]

I play to block out the garbage that is thrown at me daily, my friend told me too and it really works! I'm 14 and I usually play Adventure, tactical, RPGs, and platforms. I play Assassin's Creed the most because I've always wanted to learn how to do parkour, and it relaxs me. <3

When I'm feeling crazy, GTA4 is the game I play for shits and giggles.

I'm 16 and a PC-gamer.
I enjoy vidjagames because it beats schoolwork, and it's another way to socialise with my friends (we go to a net cafe and eat kebabs afterwards).

 

[koichan]

I'm 29

Gamer because it's simply better than 'passive' media in my opinion.
Much better to use your brain playing a game than vegetate in front of a TV or something

 

[Aqualung]

Seventeen, and I play because I enjoy the immersion that most games offer.

 

[Logic 0]

14, I play because there's nothing good on TV and it's to cold to go out.

I'm 20 and I play video games because they are a lot more fun than having a social life.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I'm 13, i play videogames about every other day. I play because they're fun and they literaly taght me how to drive.

Let me elaborate. When i was 11 my mom said i could drive her car in the school parking lot, i didn't play realistic drivers before that so I got nervose and gave up.

About 2 nights ago she said i could drive in the Lows parking lot and i did great, i wasnt nervose at all and i was a great driver. Thats what realistic driving games can do.

15 turning 16 this month. So 16.

I play because it's fun and time-consuming and helps me procrastinate. Also I have no friends to do stuff outside of school with.

 

[Bohner239]

I'm 18, and play games because there's nothing else to do/they're entertaining. They're a good time waster, too. I'm also a sucker for animation, so if there's an element of that, there's a good chance I'll be drooling all over it.

 

[razbuten363]

I'm 16, and gaming is a great way to vent my frustration and it's just a damn fine way to pass the time.

[stiborge]

I'm 16 and I play video games because they're fun and I like to get immersed in a good game and forget about life.

 

[Emilin_Rose]

19. I used to play video games for fun, but now i do it to keep me distracted from the horrible, monotonous, interchangeable days that all bleed together so much i can't even keep track of what month it is, and to expend any energy i had that would have otherwise gone to jumping out my window.
