I game because I want to. I'm 23, I've done the whole, lets get smashed on the weekend, on every weekend for 3 years running and it got boring, the same music, the same people, with a hole in my wallet. Some people pimp up their cars, some build furniture or paint. Some of us spend money on our pc's which give a sense of achievement. I like my PC. I think it's the best one I've built in terms of power and presentation. Point is, people are quick to judge the 'un ordinary' but considering gaming probably makes as much money as films now days...It's not quite unusual to be a gamer.
