Why do you play Games?

[CherinoGears]

why do you play games? What makes you decide to pick up the controller every once in awhile rather than picking up a pencil, ball, or girl?

Im not shure why i play games personallly, i guess its intilled in me from whatching my uncle play games as a toddler, to scraping change to get new games for my ps2 as a teen. I love games, its a part of my lifestyle. Its also somthing i want to make a proffesion in,

So i ask you all, what is YOUR reason for playing games, and what attracts you to them?

[Kagoe]

Because i'm cool like that.

I will decide not to backseat mod this time around and not tell you that this belongs in VGF

Having fun and being happy.

My parents say they got me a PSX when I was 2, so it's inevitible that I'll play video games for the rest of my life.

and make them.

But you gave a hint. *gasp*

[Kidlazarus]

I want an escape from the terrifying realities of the real world.

[jitterman]

to help convince myself that I am a bad ass even though I know I am a complete pussy in real life and would totally get owned or run like a bitch in any real life combat scenario.

it was either this explanation or complete bullshit

[ManEggs]

So I can talk shit and be racist over Xbox Live.

It makes me feel badass.

i play games because life is boring, and games are fun

i choose games over a pencil because I'm not always in a creative mood,
i find anything involving a ball boring,
and as much as I'd like to i can't spend every second of my life looking for a bf.

[Grammar-Nazi]

For fun.

thread over.

I play games because it's part of me. What TV is to some people, gaming is to me. I've been known to pick up the pencil every so often, and I read for (up to) hours every night. I just often prefer gaming - it's not just watching TV, it actually lets you interact with it - to change things, engross yourself in a well-done story, and put yourself into it. It's a way to fight on a battlefield without actually getting killed every 10 seconds. It lets you mess with physics. It's far better than simply sitting on a couch.

I've been gaming since I turned 6, when I was given a gameboy pocket for my birthday. I knew that it was going to be my primary source of electronic entertainment the moment I turned it on.

I've been gaming for most of my life - it's part of who I am. I'm not some couch potato, I'm not some soap opera buff, I'm not Picasso or Tiger Woods, I'm a gamer.

That doesn't mean I hate TV. I just don't make it a part of my life like half the people I know.

Becouse, it's very nice training of your hands and brain how often.

[ElectricSurge]

[chiefindomer]

Honestly, I have spent more of my time playing sports than video games, but I do enjoy video games too. It's just something I do for fun.

[xsLeek]

Because I have nothing else to do.

Because pencils, balls, and girls don't give me the ability to kill dragons.
