Games and Me

I play games. Which types? I play mainly video games and sometimes table-top games, which include card and board games. Why play games? I play games mainly for the reason it was created for, to have fun. Games are meant to be fun, but sometimes I play them for other reasons. One reason is to relax. Different games have different ways to help relax the mind. Puzzle games relaxes the mind by letting the player engage in something slow-paced so that they only have to use their minds to win. Action games relaxes the mind by letting the player get rid of their stress. The action games that do this best are usually those that allow people to go head to head with others online. Pretty much, the players online become the stress ball for the one trying to get rid of stress. After going to class and facing something like a test or presentation, I usually go on Team Fortress 2 and just try to ease my mind. Usually I use a class that allows me to rack up kills or assists fast. For some reason, dominating others online just makes me feel better. Overall, I just play games to have fun. Even if it is just to relieve stress, I am still having fun.
