I wish I enjoyed everything else as much as video games

So, according to my Playstation 3 I have spent 151 hours playing Skyrim, that's like 6 and a half days!
What on Earth can compel someone to spend that much time of their lives on a video game, I mean, it is just a game right, none of the characters are real, none of the missions are real and you don't really gain that much from playing it!

I guess it's all about escapism, it certainly is for me. Whenever I'm feeling like a big pile of crap, I stick my Playstation on, and play a game, once I'm into it, I don't feel as though I have any problems, and I could just sit there for the rest of eternity... If you're in the body of somebody else it's easy to just relax and take on their problems, and lead their life. Because, let's face it, if you get shot in the face and killed, you just load your last save and it's like it never happened! You can make your character whatever gender you feel like, you can give them really ridiculous hair you'd never dream of having, and make them have the perfect figure with big muscles that yourself would find unattainable. You have no friends, no family, nobody, but that's okay, because you're this mysterious stranger who undertakes all these missions for people and is pretty much just the good samaritan of wherever you may be setting this game. You can kill whoever or whatever you want and not have to suffer with the consequences (not that I regularly do this in real life). You can earn incomprehensible amounts of money from selling useless pieces of tat in shops, and not have to pay bills, tax, or in fact, pay anybody any money at all. Everything you earn is your own, and although it's not earnt in the most fashionable of ways (killing and stealing) it's your money! If you wanna buy some fancy clothes, go ahead and buy those fancy clothes, if you wanna buy a 6ft long sword, you buy that sword! Nobody can stop you because well let's face it, it's not their money, and you as a video game character don't exist.
I'd imagine you're aching for me to get to the point of this blog, well I hate to break it to you but there isn't a point to it, I just love video games, and they love me and we'll live happily ever after in my dark little bedroom forever and ever <3
