Early twenties, because I find it to be a release from the idoits I work with and stress. (And stress of course) Also like to roleplay online because it gives me an opportunity to act out the characters I create and be pretty much anything I wish. I suppose it gives me ideas for writing aswell.
I'm 12 and I'll be 13 on the 13th. My reason for playing video games is that of pure escapism, I think that would be the only real reason for playing games or watcing movies and T.V. or reading.
16 - Boredom mostly. I find it's a good way to keep me entertained. I'm not that much of an athlete, musician, or artist so none of those activities take up much of my time, however, I do like to learn random little skills in their places (ex, I can solve Rubik's Cubes quite quickly).
Edit: Oh, and I almost never watch TV. If I am, it's always on in the background, such as when I'm on the Escapist.

I am 15 years old.
I have been playing video games ever since I was a little child. They are a major part of my life. I play them because I love them. I play any type of game as long as its fun, doesn't matter if its an old game like Berserk on the Vectrex or Arkanoid on the NES or a brand new game like Fallout 3 or Street Fighter 4.
Sometimes when I play games, I do it unwind from my stressful life.
I love everything about games: the design, the graphics, the originality, the music, the gameplay, the story, even the console I play with. In conclusion you can pretty much say I will play games until I die.
.....so did that help you for your shcool work?

I'm 19 going on 11 and I play games as most people watch TV or see movies - entertainment. Occasionally there is a social element.
I am 26, and I play for relaxation and to be entertained by the unique story that video games can offer.
Maybe we're the only people who've ever heard the old saying "It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a moron, than to open your mouth and prove it."Rand-m said:
Back on topic: I'm 21, I game because at the young age of five I realized I had a hell of a temper, and it's nice to be able to have something to vent on without legal repercussions... That, and they're just too damn fun.
late 20s. i play because there's not a lot of good tv anymore. reality tv dumbed everything down.
I'm 21. I play when I want to immerse myself in something more interesting than my everyday life (which is also why I watch movies and read books).
27.

I am 20 years old, I play video games to fill in any free time I have and sometimes just so I don't have to do anything else.
I have been playing video games (on the PC) for about 15 years and haven't been able to bring myself to stop... Which did bring an end any potentially long-term relationships I had.
I still consider it time well spent.
