Because it allows us to do what we can't in real life. Not only that, but do it consequence free. We can't fly, kill each other, fight monsters for a living, or save the day and get the girl. But whether we admit it or not, those things are appealing. (especially the killing part, thats what freud said)

i dont know about you but I have a life and it includs school and a job but i still find a lot of time to play because its sort of an addiction and im guessing thats what is with everyone else too

We play for the same reason that other people go fishing...or take hikes...or go swimming on a daily basis.

We play Halo 3 because we like to play Halo 3. It's a chance for us to unwind at the end of the day and relax.

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

I play Halo 3 because of it's features most notable, Forge. Forge is a haven for the Physics/Scientific/Artistic interests people like me have.

Not to mention Halo 3 has just about everything a game should have with only a few kinks that will hopefully be fixed by updates soon.

We play Halo, and all video games, as it is just an escape from reality. That is the beauty of video games. If you aren't truly happy with yourself, or are just having a bad day, you take a break from real life and become a new you. In this case, you become a super soldier, with the fate of not just the whole world, but the fate of the human race resting on your shoulders. You have to pass insurmountable odds and save the day. If you die, oh well, you can just start over. There’s another break from reality, the ability to start over. No body knows you online, and you can paint a whole different image for yourself than what you really are.

But that’s just the Eggnog rambling. Take it as you will and have a Merry Christmas tomorrow if you celebrate it.

COMPETITION!! seriously thats prolly the most important reason as to why(and prolly alot of others do). i'm 23 and out of college, i dont have an avenue for competition anymore. i played high school sports and played intramurals in college simply because of my love for competing. now that i'm not in high school and not in college anymore(intramural sports FTW!) i dont have time outside of work to join a men's bball league or anything. how do i get my competitive fix in? halo 3. its that simple. i play for the thrill of victory.

I do it for the entertainment. Competing over a video game isn't too high on my priority list, but to each his own. :)

What intramurals did you play? I did intramural dodgeball last spring (and I plan on doing it again this spring).

So here's some advice. Hookers. You give them your money. they give you a few moments of happiness. Then you go home. The way it was meant to be. Posted by: Blackbird42
Actually I listened to the audio and he said something about the body rewarding social interaction because is was necessary to survive... well so was the appendix, and now all the appendix does is explode and kill you.

the new updates, and features, also shenanigens have forced me to switch profiles, my only regret is that I didn't pick a better name... ah well, nevermind eh?

I play to speak to my friends, compete with them and with them against others. For fun
