They said that about video gaming in general...

Could it be a better way to be immersed in the world or do you think you would be shunned by those who simply did not understand your life choice?

I gotta say, I'm one of those people who doesn't understand that sort of choice. To me, Role Playing is sort of based on regret. It's based on regret, because you want to imagine yourself as another person in another place, and that means you don't want to be where you are right now or who you are right now, or else you'd be yourself and doing whatever you want.

It's one thing to play an RPG or a video game (an activity, acting as yourself), but it's another thing to BECOME the character. I don't see how that's anything but sad.

Are all actors sad then?

Honestly though, if you don't 'get it' you shouldn't judge it. There is lots of stuff I judged too quickly and passed over when I was younger and have since 'got' and realised I was simply missing out.

It's fun. Or can be, rather. End of story.
