For me, videogames can be a fun way to occupy my mind for a time and take my mind off the horror of my situation, in the same way that the Matrix did for those unaware of its true nature. They're a sort of mental white noise for when I can summon up enough enthusiasm to play one. Once I stop playing, though, I very quickly lose the panacea effect and if I'm not careful I can plunge into a negative version of that panacea (if any of that makes sense to anyone but me).
But a cure? I know my life is shattered beyond repair and running on sheer momentum. Storming Omaha Beach in Medal of Honor won't change that.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
