subject: Why Playing Video Games Is Better Than Being In Love [print this page] You hear about it almost everywhere on television and in advertisements, songs and plays have been written about it and there are literally thousands of movies that have dedicated scene after scene to it. Its a common held belief that love is the most magical, enjoyable and profound thing that a human being can experience.
Love sends you to an entirely different realm of existence and shows you a reality you only once dreamed of. Colours are brighter, characters are larger-than-life and it feels as if youre almost invincible. Nothing rivals love in terms of offering sheer joy and happiness; or at least thats what they say.
Weve all been head-over-heels in love before although Im sure; as a result, weve all felt how soul-crushing falling out of love can be too. Breaking up and unrequited love are some of the worst things the human heart is forced to endure. So for all the hype, love can be just as dangerous as it can be delightful.
What they dont write about in plays, however or feature in songs or movies is the other experience that can deliver surges of adrenaline and fits of unrivalled happiness and joy.
When done correctly, settling in with a top-quality video game is just as good as being in love and carries nowhere near as many hazards.

Theres No Chance of Heartbreak Sure, watching that grown man run around yelling JASON! looking for his lost son was kind of sad but it doesnt come close to how gutted youd feel when your long-term girlfriend decides so no longer finds your jokes funny and suddenly she does have a problem with how your feet look in sandals. When was the last time that Mario went out clubbing and broke your heart by drunk-dialling you mid-bump and grind?
