Say you'd never been outside your house, only played a computer game which simulated that. Could you give an honest opinion of how the wind feels against your body when you run against it?
I have played computer games in my past of course, most people my generation have, but I would never in a billions years consider it a satisfactory substitute for getting out of the house and doing those things for real. Ok I grant you, slaying a dragon is not something you'll do in real life, but how exciting is it when you do it in a computer game? Can't be much I wager.
Truth is of course, my opinion is ultimately my opinion and that is all. I won't try and say what I think is the right way because there is no right way. I just won't believe that escapism is a healthy acivity. You aren't facing any fears when you play these games and in most self-development books you'll find that facing your fears is probably the most exhilarating way to live your life.
Unlike yourself, I won't try and form an opinion of you based on what you've wrote. My posts are purely to encourage the OP that escapism isn't the answer and he'll more than likely find a healthier route in life by trying to avoid it. Media fasts have done wonders for many people.
