So that's where my love for Super Smash Bros and Halo plus Mario comes from. But good thing for me I can't play for hours on account my girlfriend usually ends up dragging me away from it by the ear. And two of my friends find no end in stopping me from playing a game with their crazy antics but it's still fun. Although the icecubes down the back having water thrown on you. And being blindfolded are not a day in paradise.

Heh, nice. But I still have 3-6 friends who are girls who are obsessed with one shooter or another.... who will stomp you xD. So tell me, O mighty science study, why do they like to play Halo/CoD/ect.? I doubt they have an answer...

Uh, maybe for something known as entertainment?

Haha. But you have to remember, some guys can't dominate crap on video games. loll (had to say that)
For instance, I can beat tons of guys on Halo, Guild Wars, and other games.

So this is where my love of Halo comes from... very interesting. At least I don't say "I absolutely owned you!"... at least not most of the time...

A study that I though might interest/amuse some people, about the apparent need for some guys to satisfy their dominating instincts by obsessively playing video games:
