How Has Gaming Helped You?

My reflexes are exponentially better from the 1st year that I started playing games. It also passes the time and is way better than doing drugs.

How about the rest of you?

I played age of empires for 5 or 6 years.. It helped to improve my English a lot.

My first language is spanish. Second one is English.

Videogames relieve my stress, help me take my mind off of the daily bull*** of life, and sometimes, make me happy when nothing else will.

Pretty good reasons to game, if I do say so myself.

Its a form of escapism for me......imagine watching a movie, except you are the character, not a disembodied camera.

And also, it made me socially stunted, which is a good thing in my school.

It made me appreciate a different form of art.Thiago26792

I'm having fun. Imagine that? Having fun in a game?????

NO WAY!!

A lot of good things listed in here. Nice.

I'd have to say that, among other things, gaming has helped improve my self-confidence in terms of tackling difficult tasks. Take something like Devil May Cry 4, for example. When you start off, it may seem insurmountable. But with persistence, you get all the nuts and bolts figured out, and then get your hands to cooperate. Before you know it, the previously impossible is just another vanquished feat.

That's translated into a lot of the non-gaming areas of my life, making me better at tackling tasks at work, and creating alternatives to difficult day-to-day situations, and things like that.

Gaming for President!

i don't get as much time to play games much these days, but when i do get time, its just so nice to be able to zone out for an hour or 2..

sure its not the most productive thing you can do, but i spend so much time either at work, or at home studying.. video games makes a good break from all that

Fun and silly goals/objectives.

Not playing much atm however.

Video games are just plain awesome in their own way... people see them as socially stunting but truth is you find one person who plays games and as long as their friends arn't A**holes you pretty much inherit all their gaming friends as well. Few things beat a room full of guitar hero and super smash bros fans dueling it out on big screens. Another reason why I lovve gaming is that I have yet to find something truly as fulfilling as completing a great game, the sense of accomplishment, the entertainment of seeing an end to a story which has moved you in some sort of way, and the bragging rights if you know other fans :P
