Wow, so let’s discuss how much I hate this video game. The graphics, plot, story line, and fighting scenes are not even remotely good compared to my face and voice. I’m tired of being second best when it comes to your video games. NEWS FLASH, I’M ONLY ON MY COMPUTER BECAUSE I’M BORED NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE. I get it, you’re stressed from work. But we’ve already established this: ESCAPISM is not HELPFUL. Must I really list the reasons why? I probably should because your schedule hasn’t changed or you have just completely ignored my feelings and I for about 2 days and I’m fed up. Let me break it down for you:

Escapism- escape: an inclination to retreat from unpleasant realities through diversion or fantasy [wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn]

“The Cycle of Escapism

Everyone feels the desire to escape. No matter how good you have it, there are times when, instead of dealing with problems, you’d rather pretend they don’t exist. We turn to bad habits because they allow us to forget. They give us a pleasurable sensation that pushes problems out of mind. The downfall of this solution is that it’s only temporary. The feeling wears off and the problems remain, often made worse by our indulgence. Once again faced with our problems, the natural reaction is to escape again.This is the cycle of escapism. We feel pain each time we face reality, so we use a bad habit to escape, which only increases our pain, making us more desperate to escape. Each time around it takes more sensation to escape, increasing our dependency on a bad habit. When you get caught in the whirlpool of escapism, it can feel impossible to get out.” [http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/overcoming-addiction-by-escaping-escapism/]

STOP IGNORING ME. I’M SORRY I’M NOT A VIDEO GAME. BUT I CAN ENTERTAIN YOU TOO. You can not escape me. Sorry! Not happening. This better not make you angry, don’t you dare get angry with me, I won’t deal with it. I’m not gonna listen to how video games help your stress because guess what? I love you and video games won’t solve your problems they’ll just numb you. If I wanted to be numb I’d get me some novacaine.
