Video games for me were nothing but a stress giver. Every time I had lost a match with someone, I would go out of control. Yeah I sound like a retard in anger management classes but hey I just don’t like to lose.

I love to play online games but I don’t involve in these games deeply. I know I have to live with the realities of life and I can’t escape from them.

I’m the personal assistant to woman who’s had a hip and knee replacement. I admit I play Runescape for hours on end at night, but it’s because we only have PC and the night hours are when she’s off the puter. Before I met her I’d usually play a game for 2hrs or so a day I do other things only wanting to satisfy a daily goal. We’ll be getting a laptop Feb of 2008 and that’ll help because then I’ll have a PC of my own and spend less time playing.

I think that any form of expression or escape from the daily monotony of life is beneficial. Video games, virtual computer reality, and online avenues in my opinion by definition constitutes a third place. Online gaming falls into that category. I believe in doing everything in moderation, but I can see how online gaming and such activities can be addictive and in some cases a way to take time from venturing out to fitness centers, parks, and other social gatherings.
As long as people are not harming others, I see no problem entertaining themselves online, hopefully they can continue to work on their real people skills in that capacity. My personal third place is a local fitness center.
