  • You can press F7 to quick-load a previous save. After playing Half-Life too long, I honestly thought I could do that in real life once, when I was slowly waking up and realizing I was late for class. It didn't matter that I was late, all I had to do was press F7. So I went back to sleep. ...I was late for class that day.

Will add more later if I have time (hopefully)

You cant kill Diablo 3 times in one life span in real life. The holy deed can be accomplished in at least 2.

Pretty much the possibility to be a Hong Kong gangster, a dragon killer in a fantasy world, a crazy underground racer and a tiny little ninja rescuing rabbits and squirrels is an experience beyond real world that is simply worth the thrill.

Just dont forget good old games like hide and seek. Things which can get you muddy, injured, wet and screaming with joy are pretty much foundations for a healthy and confident grown up adult ..... Fantasy and creativity is well nourished through video games, but all physical education should not be forgotten as well.

There's a difference between the two?

  1. In a video game you cannot really die although you are dying there much more often than in real life - but if you are dying more often than fly in Binding of Isaac, something is wrong.
  2. In a video game you are learning from your mistakes much faster than in real life and it's also much less painful - if you are not bashing your head against wall after your 59th failed attempt to beat the Tutorial level in Super Meat Boy.
  3. In a video game your F.E.A.R. is mostly enjoyable feeling - unless you are playing single player campaign in Doom 3 by camping around transport ship which just delivered you to Mars.
  4. In a video game you are not hurting anyone even if you have just wiped out all human, animal or alien species in that game universe - just don't try to play Lemmings like that...
  5. In a video game you are the God - just don't whine when the final boss of the game cannot understand it... I told you Ugh-Zan!!!

There's more for sure, but in a video game you have much more time than in real life to do homework.

  • In video games you have to come up with strategies to succeed... They give you wisdom.
  • In video games you can kill people just because you dont acknowledge their existence... They give you power.
  • Wisdom... Power... Do you know what that means? In video games you can truly be... Chuck Norris.

(Ooh! Gemini Rue is on my wishlist!)

Video games are better than real life because:

  1. Because in video games, people actually like you.

  2. And if they don't like you, you can kill them.

  3. They allow you the freedom to do things you cannot do in real life.

  4. Like killing people who don't like you.

  5. You can engage in more risk-taking behaviour, because if you die you can be resurrected.

  6. You are more physically attractive.

  7. People acknowledge and praise your achievements, giving you a sense of fulfilment, purpose and validation.

  8. Your achievements are things like 'saved a town' and 'killed a dictator' rather than 'got out of bed' and 'made a meal
    out of two old slices of bread and some pistachios'.

  9. You are highly skilled in badarse arts like swordplay, martial arts, or magic.

  10. Magic exists.

  11. Conversation is multiple choice and there are no wrong answers.

  12. There are walkthroughs.

  1. Dying can sometimes be fun, depending on the situation, and you can die numerous times.

  2. The games make you feel more powerful than you are (if you're a skinny geek who gets bullied at school, you can go home and be a hulking hero that can destroy thousands).

  3. The keybord/mouse or game controller feels good. At least, better than alot of other things... it's kinda like a security-type thing.

  4. You can forget about that test on Algebra you have at school tomorrow...

  5. The flashing lights in front of you are somewhat awesome... at least, you can control their movements.

  6. Video games are better than real life, because, why else would folks waste- i mean, spend - hours of their days, months of their lifes in front of the flashing window to fantasy?

  7. Video games are better than real life, because i said so.

  8. Video games are better than real life.

  9. Video games are better than real life, because i want to win that Gemini Rue.

  10. Video games are fun.

  11. Video games are better than real life because i like pizza.

  12. Video games are better than real life, because my favorite soda is Mountain Dew.

  13. Video games are better than real life, because i'm getting somewhat bored of typing this, and i want to go play video games... but i have to go to work soon...

  14. Video games are better than real life, because i'm trying to tell you in bulletpoint form, why video games are better than real life. Trying my best to be serious, yet funny at the same time, and failing miserably.

  15. Video games are better than real life, because i really hope i win this contest thingy...
