Video games allow you to travel to imaginary worlds,
assume impossible physical forms and characteristics, behave in normally unacceptable ways, and basically live out your own boundless fantasies.
So what game does MrLaraMN get excited about?
Table tennis.
Really?
Really?

:wtf:

1. I never really got that.
I can play that game in real life. Why do I need a computer simulation for it? :P

If it's a team sport that requires strategies and whatnot, I can understand playing a video game just to work on ideas and learn/perfect various strategies. But for me, video games are for doing things I can't do in real life. Like jumping forty feet in the air, shooting lightning bolts from my fingers, and then blocking blaster bolts on a lightsaber. No matter how hard I try, I just can't manage that one in real life.
