Gaming can be a wonderful way to meet people when you live in an area devoid of many like-minded people. Maybe you live in a small town with a low population, and you’ve only ever met the people who grew up in your area. Everyone knows your name, knows who your parents are, and knows every little detail about your life whether you want them to or not. Maybe all the kids in your high school class are into sports and you don’t have much in common with them. But then you open up your gaming computer and a whole other world unfurls. You can talk to people from all over the world, share stories, play together, and learn from their experiences. 

This is just one of the reasons that we come back to our consoles day after day. Not only do we love playing games that challenge us and show us things, but our friends are in there too.
