It's been a while since I've written, and I decided to write a little something. This post is inspired by one of the videos I found at IGN.
I do not remember but it is possible I may have written something similar to what I'm about to write. It's about video games. Video games, for me, is a way to simply enter another world, a world where imagination can take you the distance. Many people do not see this and instead say "get a life", "you're too old for this", "you're wasting your time" or "do something useful". However, many just look at the surface as if that is all we do, or maybe they just dislike video games, but that is their choice. It's quite sad that they would judge not knowing that many of us may actually have a job, go to school, or even have a family. It's unfortunate too though that they do not even try to understand why we even play video games. For some, it's actually a way to socialize. In fact, believe it or not, some of the closest friends I currently have are those I met online. We hang out regularly, such as eat out. (I'm sure I mentioned this one already.) Or like I said earlier, some play to enter a different world, a world where imagination has no boundaries. Or some play simply to escape. Sometimes reality can get tough and stressful, so we play to escape from these difficult times. I can go on and on, but you definitely have a good idea to where I am getting at. Simply put, video games may seem like something of no purpose or no use to the eyes of many, however, in the eyes of the person playing, it's a totally different thing.
Below is a link that may reinforce the paragraph I wrote. Some may find this boring, but this video has a deep meaning. (Note: I did not go through what is seen in the video.)
---> "Escape"
---> "Escape"
So if ever there are people out there reading this by any chance, always remember that many of us have our reasons to why we play...just like how each individual in this world have a reason to why they go to school or why they work.
