(the following is all true)
I have been through hell with health problems and depression problems in the past, I used to seek medical help for one reason or another and sadly don't feel I have had the best of lifes...
... I turned against humans at an early age because I felt for one reason or another there was always something wrong with everyone, I didn't like many people and realised just how many people put on fronts and pretended in one way or another.
With this turn at an early age I searched for a way out of the world which was horrible, I searched for a way out of the manic and terrible day-to-day crapulence....
When I was a mere two years old I picked up a Nintendo Entertainment System controller and began to run along the screen with Mario, still not knowing how to jump I remember running into the goompah on the first level several times before looking properly at the pad to find two more buttons on the right.
I didn't know at that age that I had found my way out, I had found my sanctuary.
At the age of about four to six years old I played more and more (normally when I began to think too much and not like the people around me). When the console turned on, the outside world become non-existant and I felt happy and was with something I could control, I was with the game.
And so it carried on, many events took place in my life which I never want to go through again, but somehow the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was always going to help me get out of the depression and it would never turn up late or miss a date with some poor excuse, it was always there, on my bedroom table. It became my greatest companion, I actually began to use it to help my problems, it was something I could turn to, then turn on, then play without having to worry about it dying.
At the age of eleven I began to realise that there was another everyday object that I used as a way out, it was my computer. It served me for being creative and helping me when I had no new games to play, it also became something that has helped me through many ruff patches.
Gaming for me is like my exit, its my way out on all things that are wrong with the world, its more realiable than any human has ever been to me and that why I consider games to be my lifeline.
I still play games as a way out, the last game I really enjoyed as an exit on the real world was Conkers Bad Fur Day. When I walked into the bedroom and turned on the console and held the pad, it felt like bliss, I had no worries and was going to enjoy something that day. In the future, I suppose gaming will become more of a life for me, I hope to make a bit of money from games and still continue to use them as my way out.
Yes I have friends. Yes I have family. And Yes I have games.
Thanks

Hmmmm...... :D
Well I said I would.
Well after reading many posts of this sort, yourself, Grix, Goatboy it has made me think I am a bit of a lucky cheese... ok as child I was bullied a bit, came out of that ok. Suffered from child migranes and still do. Had slight case of Insomnia as child and needed to take mild sleeping pills and still do if school is on but on holidays I don't which accounts me staying up to 4 in morning. Sounds worse than it is. Have great parents, great friends, great family so there.

Heh, that made me chuckle!

Yikes, me again!
Well, what I really wanted to say on this topic was in reply to er-no.
The post was very good and an interesting insight into why gaming is so important to you. A lot of what you said rings true in many people I know, all I say to them is that people with flaws are real people. I feel better for trusting people, even though I've been burnt in the past, but my wife is very wary and tries to keep away from too much socialising, so I can see both sides of the story. I would never ever trust anyone that thought they were perfect though.
It's odd then, in that respect, that I have chosen a hobby that benefits the unsocial lifestyle, but somehow gaming chose me in a way. More on that another time, perhaps. The good thing about these forums is that you can meet other people with similar interests and still keep some of your anonymity.
Anyway, er-no, you're trusted in my eyes and I'll one day get around to sending you that stuff in the post. (sorry it's taking so long though, so busy it hurts!)

Yes, and also you have to ask 'What were Christians before?' Jews. Christians are people that follow the teachings of Christ, therefore it would be slightly impossible to be a Christian before jesus started his teachings. Therefore, his followers were mostly Jews (at first, until the word spread to other religious groups)

Your Honour - try to be a bit more careful with religious posts. Most of us are broadminded enough and have a good sense of humour, but there are some that don't.
I'm sure you know the answer to your question as well...

Er-no I'm 17 and have been gaming since the atari 2600 which is since i was very very very young and, I've never been even remotly happy with the way things are and the people around me for various reasons but, to this day the only thing that can put a smile on my face are fantastic films and games.
