Poll: Poll: Games make you...

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Well, what do games do to you emotionally/physically/spiritually/etc.

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

It depends on the game, really. I feel a wide array of emotions, but then I forget those emotions and just be awesome.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Depends on what game.

'Feel like a badasss' is the one I like the most.

 

[Broady Brio]

Some can induce rage.
Some can induce joy.

Most games I play induces joy.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Most games make me sane.

You literally took the words right out of my mouth.... literally.

 

[Jedamethis]

Relaxed. Usually. Occasionally.

Some just make me focused and happy.

 

[Baron Von Evil Satan]

they usually relax me after a long day. That or just let me kill time.

My thoughts exactly.

Enlighted

It depends on the game. It can go from simply being relaxing, to this:

I feel a wide array of emotions, but then I forget those emotions and just be awesome.

to any number of other things. I'm a sucker for the 'emotionally engaging' RPG's, and usually start to feel for the characters quite quickly.
Example: Mass Effect 2: I was genuinely worried when attacking the collector base that my team wouldn't make it out alive. (They survived, somehow)

VIOLENT. Playing games results in a great urge to participate in the growing amount of juvenile delinquency or a school shooting.

 

[child of lileth]

They help me feel entertained... most of the time.

 

[Lullabye]

tired. I always feel lethargic after a while. though, oddly i never get this while going to game cafes.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

If all games made me feel only one feeling I probably wouldn't bother playing them. Games make me feel a number of different things, and that's one of the things I like about them.

 

[AvsJoe]

It really depends on the game and my original mood. I haven't played a game that gave me a strong emotion in quite a while though. NHL 10, GTA: San Andreas, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Restaurant City, Beaker Creatures... I'm bored playing all of 'em.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

They make me hungry... since some of them are like watching a movie, and I like snacking on something when I watch movies... other than that, they make me feel happy...

If you want to know the secret of being, you will come with us!

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Escapism. Oh wait...

 

[ALuckyChance]

When I play video games, my mood generally depends on what the game wants me to feel. In Mirror's Edge for example, I get an incredible adrenaline rush from all that running, which is good because that's the whole point of the game.

Usually, when I get angry or excited, I start talking to myself excessively. It's just a lot better to think that way when you're focused on something else.
