David Perry: Will videogames become better than life?

Life sucks. In a game you can go on a journey, have great conversations with everyone,, see the world, train and fight. In real life, you are caught in an endless spiral of sitting behind a desk to make rich people even more richer, so they can journey all over the world while you struggle everyday to earn a living and longing for a little bit of free time.

I am 36 and really my video gaming has gone down. The 43% of women who play video games are ones i assume that play on facebook (farmville) or games like you get on your phone. Lets put these stats in perspective. I bet less that 5% play WOW,SKYRIM, ect...
