Do you use games to escape reality?

    I use them to cut off and relax and not worry about life if that is what you mean by escaping - it is same with other forms of entertainment - Books, films and TV. I don't really class it as escapism more of relaxation :)

    I don't know what reality is! I think I once went outside but the people were unpredictable and scared me and when they speak you don't get subtitles.

    Graphics were pretty good, though.

    Wrong way round. Real life is an escape from gaming. I go to the dentist to forget about evolving me Squirtle.

    Not really since gaming is a part of my reality.

    Yeah before it was just a "fun" thing but these past few years I've come to use games as a way of forgetting my problems for a few hours.

    This. I can relax with people but don't have to talk if I don't want to.

    I keep hitting circle whenever people speak to me at work but it never lets me skip their conversations, so annoying.
