What does gaming mean to YOU?

Well, we all know we game. But for what purpose? Is it just a hobby, stress-reliever, or the whole point of your existence.

For me gaming is my dream career. I plan to graduate as a game designer, and be part of a respected company one day. Gaming is part of my life.

Now the real question is:
What does gaming mean to YOU?

Both for fun as a hobby, and as a stress reliever.

Great hobby. Great stress/depression reliever.

It's just something I've done since I can remember. One of my earliest memories I have, PERIOD, is of me and my little bro sitting at my dads feet while he sat on our bed - taking turns on the Atari and on the Nintendo for Mario. And then Sonic. My dad loved Sonic and Mario lol.

I was no older than 4, I think I may have been three though. Been gaming obsessively on a full-time basis since then. Allthough since I got outta HS and started working I've been playing alot less. Cos I can't.

Me and my bro have always considered ourselves above these so called 'gamers'. The one's who you see competeting at 'chamionships' on live TV...and they god damn blow ass compared to you LOL. Seen it with so many games that I play. Also generally speaking, a gamer is some immature little kid who thinks he's better at games than he really is. Your typical gamer uses codes and watches 'Cheat' and actually writes down the cheats and codes. Gamers shouldn't cheat at games. That's like saying you're smart cos you cheat and get good grades on your tests in school.

That's all just me though. I'm a crazy bastard.

LOLOL I pass out by like 1 or 2AM if I'm trying to play games, especially if I'm stoned.

Pulling an all-nighter is done with homies you can see and talk to and hear and feel and get fuct up with. Well my kinda all nighter anyways lol. Whatever floats your boat...but I just had to comment on that statement that you only pull all-nighters while playing games.

Opposite of me. MMO's put me to sleep, I'd need CS:S or BF2142 to play all night.

It's a stress reliever for me, when first heard my parents were divorcing, I just played games as much as I was allowed, it helps me take my mind off other things.
