I can be Rambo in Battlefield Vietnam and the Super Night-Elf Unholy Priest in World of Warcraft. I can't heal people in real life and I can't waste people with an M-79 grenade launcher in real life. It's simply a place to be someone else doing stuff that ya can't do in real life. The main reason I play online PC games is because they're simply fun. Playing against other people is very, very fun. Seeing other player's reaction to a grenade landing on their face from a hundred yards or having people say I'm an awesome priest for keeping them alive is a cool feeling. Being someone in another world and having fun is what it's about. It's not an alternative to real-life...it's simply another world where you can have fun and play games with real-life other people.
