Haha I used to love playing a good RPG but I rarely have the time to spend on it anymore.

"You are drawn into those fantasy films and video games because those have something that everyone wishes to have in life - the ultimate purpose. " I think that you really nailed it there. That stuff is always much more attractive than life. Plus, with games, there is away a sense of progress that is often much harder to come by in real life. They make you feel like you worked for something and were successful and that is an attractive feeling.
