I love all media, but my favorite form of media is video games. I love video games because they encompass other forms of media such as cinematic story telling, social networking (Xbox live and PSN network), and music. It is not the presence of these elements that necessarily make video games fun to me, but rather it is the level of interactivity that is allowed within in them that appeals to me. For instance, if I were to watch a movie, I must sit back and try to relate to the main character, but if I were to play a video game, I become the main character. Whenever I have a bad day or get a bad grade I immerse myself into a game, as if taking a drug in order to temporarily escape from the drama known as reality. Not only do I love games that help me to escape reality, but I also enjoy games that connect me with other players and permits me to compete with or against them. Since I am a competitive person, I like that modern games enable me to connect with and compete against people from all over the world.
p.s. Please enjoy the epic medley composed in the game Mario Paint.
