As the title suggests, what's your reason for gaming? Peer pressure, stress relief, distraction, fun, etc.

Me? It's an escape from reality. Which is why I love immersive stories or good gameplay mechanics in games. They help me forget about life for a while, for better or for worse.

What's your excuse?

erm... I don't actually know why.

Cause I like to, I guess, no particular reason comes to mind.

It's fun and I like it. Its not an excuse. If I didn't like gaming I wouldn't play games. Fortunately, I love games; and there is nothing else I'd rather do.

Because it is a very serious buisness. If I am not at the top of the scoreboards, or even ONE of my team mates is goofing around to much, I have to yell at everyone about them being noobs and what not.

Oh wait, i'm not that guy. Games are fun, I like fun.

Because if I didn't game I'd be watching TV, and I hate commercials. I need something to do, and I can't seem to find enough science fiction comedies when looking for books... but I CAN when looking for videogames. And TV's for that matter. Long story short, I game because it's a fun way to consume time and make me laugh.

(Even Fallout 3 had it's moments when I'd want to call it a sci-fi comedy)

To escape the frustrating, boring and sometimes depressing world that I am forced to live in.

And because it's fun.

Escapism pure and simple. Not all gaming is fun (we've all played a deathmatch or two online and sucked so much that we have rage quit or rage broken something), but it does change the drudgery of it all.

There's nothing to do where I live...

Only hang outs in this town are places to eat, which 3/4's of them my gf is boycotting for this reason or that...

Bars... Which... To me is a waste of money... buy a case or a sixpack and drink at home.. It's funner and you don't have to worry about the weird person with low self esteem eyeballin you across the bar.

If you head outside of town there's... Wal-mart.. YAAAAY!! -,-;

That's why I game :)

Buy a case, play a game... Happy times!
