Gaming is probably my oldest hobby. At times I take breaks but eventually my passion for gaming always returns. I love experiencing different stories, exploring foreign fantasy worlds, slaying monsters and abominations. And the best part is that I can do all these things without even leaving my home.
There are so many different games that I believe that there is game for everyone. My favorite games are RPG. I can play these games in different ways and make different choices. This means that I often can play the same game multiple times and have completely different experiences each time. One time I can be a noble hero ready to save the world and the next time a dark lord who only seeks benefits and power for himself. Or I can spend my time simply wandering around and listening to awesome music and playing card games.
Gaming offers many possibilities. If you feel like solving a murder mystery you can do that. Or perhaps you would rather fight dragons, build a large empire and conquer the world? Or maybe win the nba title? You can do that as well because gaming is freedom to do what you want. Another advantage of gaming is that it is cheaper than many other potential hobbies. For example you can enjoy some games for many hours and buying them can be cheaper than going to a single basketball game. Traveling in real world would be ridiculously expensive but exploring many worlds in game is far cheaper. And having countless lives filled with various adventures is really fun.
