Time killer, hobby, something to do when I'm not at work. I can't go to sleep satisfied at the end of the day unless I've killed something in a videogame. Also it's something I hope to soon do less of, life is charging forward, and there's less time to sit on my ass and play games all day like I used to.

For me games are just time killers...BUT, not at summer time, coz then there is plenty of things to do...and you really dont want to play games when there is so nice weather

But even at summer time is a bad weather, so time killers goes to work again...

But sometimes it's a stress reliever, when i'm mad, or just confused i just search for Serious Sam CD, and then i fill up all game by my anger...after 30mins of playing, i just stfu

kill time, but if its a good game then the experience of playing it.

stories and gameplay make a game. quality over quantity

Anal Raping Of The Mind?

It's just the Farking truth, WoW, SRO blah blah... anything.

Lots of you people have high hope about your 'professional gaming' or being a game producer or maker. How many of you will make that goal? It's idiotic to think that you can eek through your youthful years, wasting your brain power to hope for a career that should it ever be presented to you, you don't have the knowledge to capitalize the opportunity.

Playing game doesn't translate to making games. You might be able to get a QA/QC job which pays around what, $12-$14/hour?

Go take an initiative. Go learn drawing, programming, making movies and models. Then you can talk about your "dreams".

It's called tough love. Deal with it.

I'm actually working towards that goal, im taking Computer Programming courses in highschool and i'll eventually get my Technological Education Certificate, and hopfully that will get me in a few computer programming/engineering universities

Plain and simple..

It started as fun
It become more like a girlfriend
It become necesity
And now addiciton or way of life...

Gaming is my life.

I know more about gaming and computers than i do about life - seriously.

If my computer broke, i would fix it just to play games.

I own 9 differant games consoles and still play them all. <3 retro.

Stress reliever.

*Takes a deep breath in*

1) hobby
2) a realy good time killer ( as it takes ages to log on silk )
3) just for fun ( way of having fun with peps who live far from u )
4) Stress reliever
5) keeps me out of streets

probs there are more reasons but mainly games are time killers.

Gaming is a fun way to talk to friends who also play that game, my real life girlfriend also plays Silkroad and she is called warriorgirl9 >.<

w00t go me, a 3D fun version of MSN it is.

i game just to kill time and fun, or to vent out my anger (in real life) in a more positive way =]

however, it's sad that alot of people now game just to own. go donwhang south and you will hear people screaming 'noobs' when they got owned.

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?

i used to want to be a game designer or play games for living, but i do it now just for fun and getting to know people. good way to relieve stress or gain it. it calms me down.

How do you "HEAR" them screaming if this game uses no Mics...?

And also i like it when people say shut up... i reply with "Shut what up? My keyboard?"
