Why I play video games!

I was introduced to video games at a young age, my dad and my siblings were all somewhat into video games so it was only fate that I would be too. I didn't really have any reasons to play other than for fun but as I got older I realized it was an escape from stress in my life. video games were my only real outlet and for a while I became somewhat obsessed to the point where it began to effect my health and grades. I finally had to step away and get my self together enough where I could enjoy video games and live like a sane person. I've realized that video games are something that I enjoy so much that I am actually pursuing a career in video game development.
