For me gaming is a way to relieve stress & forget about problems that I have to deal with. At least in the virtual world there are save points that I can go back to if I mess up (I wished the real world had a save point or allowed me to save instances that way if I mess up I could fix the problem or eliminate the chance of it starting). I prefer to play alone & RPG & RTS games are what I'll play. Heck I've even used the Sims series of games as practice for social interactions (since again I can start over if I wish unlike real life).

I'd prefer real life had a reset button...
