Why do we Game?

This topic has come up numerous times with other fathers, friends and especially the wife. Question goes why do you spend so much time playing on the Xbox? When Destiny was first released a read a forum post that hit the answer to this question spot on. To this day I wish I would've saved it, as I have searched and searched for it with no luck. When I was a kid I started playing on Atari and Coleco. I was an original Nintendo kid amd graduated up through each game system as they came out. I had a an old computer that had the original floppy's with games like spyhunter and digdug. I loved going to chucky cheese and aladdins castle in the mall dropping token after token, quarter after quarter and remember telling my parents just one more minute or can I just finish this stage??? I hear these same questions everyday from my boys. So back to the original question why do we game? I would like to hear what others say as I cannot articulate my thoughts as well as others. My feelings are with todays changes with cell phones, tablets smart tvs this and that. Kids just atent the same as we were growing up. My memories are vague but I remember scouting amd throwing the football, baseball etc. I feel today that memories are beong created by playing with my boys. I have 2 that I play with on a daily basis. This may sound terrible but I have an Xbox 360 in each boys room, one in the living room as well as an xbox one in the living room. We have days we play and i bring in a 32 in flat screen amd we have all 4 going at the same time. To me I feel this is a great bonding tool amd we enjoy playing together not to mention the competition is fun in the crucible. What I am having a hard time with is balancing the 2 out with wifey time vs. Kid time. So please thoughts and ideas? Why do you game and do any of you have spouses you game with? Mine likes to watch for awhile but gets easily bored. I cant fathom that but oh well. I am 39 retired Army amd still feel like a big kid and seeing the enjoyment in my kids eyes when I say lets stay in and play. hits a soft spot as well as gives me cherished memories. I hope someday when im not around they do the same for my futire grandkids wo all the negative comments on you shouldnt play that all the time. For the record. My boys are also student athletes. I am also proud to say my 9yo 3rd grade competive football team went 8-0 on the season amd were unscored on as well. So they arent couch lumps either. I am a super proud gaming father. I look forward to hearing your alls thoughts. Respects, Brian

  • Gaming lets me anger out so I dont let out on people. Point blank. Ive done it since I was 2 years old. My mom has me on video plating mario and duck hunt at 7 am in the morning 1991 on nes. This has been apart of my life for 23 years. I game because I get to meet people like all of you who know what I go through on a daily basis expecially with kids and wives and jobs and family priblems. I love the connection I can share with otber people. I love the challenges games bring. Ive done alot of research of game addiction and how gaming actually enhances your mind. I look at the world differently.
