...do we love games so much?
I know this has most probably been done before, but I don’t remember it, so I am posting it again :-)

The reason I love games so much is because I am entering a new world. Take any RPG for example. You are taken away from boring old Earth and into a different planet altogether, where you can meet all sorts of human beings and animals. Also, you get a chance to do things that you wouldn’t be able to do in real life. Like… fight monsters, fly, kill people and so on. If I am having troubles at home, when I play games I seem to forget them, and I have a magical feeling when I am on a fantasy-like island.

There are other reasons why I play games, but that is my best reason.

There are the obvious reasons why people play games… fun, stress reliever, to be happy, to get scared and just to pass by time.

So, I ask you, what is your best reason as to which you just love games?

Nope, hereswhatcha gotta do:

1a) Purchase a heavy duty Paintball Gun, normally a standard sized TL tournament will do it...

1b) Place a few breadcrumbs on the pavement...

2) Await the arrival of a few pigeons and birds...

3) Begin firing at the several birds, the paintballs will injure them or knock them out.

4) Repeat steps 1b) 2) 3) until you have about 60 birds, if getting bored try to set yourself targets and records..

5) Carefully pluck of the indiviual wings of the birds, before this hit the bird over the head with a large peeble...

6) Place all feathers in a bucket, when all feathers have been plucked...

7) Smother yourself in glue, a small 1 mm layer will do the job.

8) Stand in an area with no breeze or wind and pour the feathers onto you...

9) What these steps have acomplished is completely for you to decide, but well done, you now look like a 1st class pratt....

i can think of a really good and long reason but i couldn't be arsed to type it so i'll shorten it

because its better than revising and takes your mind of the rubbishness that is reality

That's the point of games. No-one can quite put their finger on why exactly we love them so much. Each and every games fan could give a hundred different reasons as to why they play computer games.

There are so many elements that draw us to play games, including the fantasy side, the ability to do things in-human, and to acomplish your dreams.

Why do I play games? If I knew that, there'd have been a point me answering this question :)

I hate cheatguru.

I'm sorry, where were we...?
