Gamers may be a diverse group, but they can all agree on one thing. They can’t wait to go home right now and game. Being in the middle of a good game is like being in the middle of a good book. You can’t wait to get back to it. You dream of closing your work computer and running home to an extended session of whatever it is you’ve decided to boot up. It’s also kind of like being in love. You daydream about it. You hope someone will bring it up in conversations. You fantasize about all the good times you’ll have together, you and your game.

It’s like that with any good hobby. If you’re a model train collector, you probably can’t wait to get home to your model trains. If you’re a basketball hobbyist, you probably can’t wait for the next pickup game with your good buddies.

Gaming is a great hobby because you don’t need to rely on anyone else for you to do it. You don’t need to wait for your friends to be free so you can play pickleball. You don’t need your live model to clear his schedule so you can do your figure drawing. Sure, you might want your friends to play an online game with you, but you can always play by yourself.

This is why it’s an enriching activity that so many of us are drawn to. It’s just like reading a book or watching a movie, except that you’re actively making decisions the whole time. You have a say over what your character does, and there are stakes. If you do well, you’ll be rewarded. If you do poorly, you have more of an incentive to keep going. This is how hours and hours can pass without you noticing.

Real gamers know that you can more easily relax playing a stressful video game than you could while taking a bubble bath. There is a time and a place for both, but there’s nothing like quitting time after a long day of work, knowing that you’re about to plug into a game where you’ll be fighting for your life for a couple of hours without a break.

It’s like going for a run. It takes your energy and channels it in a productive direction. You don’t have to worry about the oogie boogies in your brain, you just have to worry about defeating the zombies right in front of you. When you’re taking a bubble bath, all you’re left with is the chatter in your own brain. If you’ve got a lot of it, it can feel impossible to turn down the volume.

There is nothing quite like playing a game that absorbs all of your attention, uses all of your skills, and tells a riveting story while you’re at it. It’s unlike any other form of media. Sure, you could watch a really good movie and be funny locked into its story, feeling like you’re living right alongside the protagonist. But you yourself are not affecting the outcome of that movie. You could read a gripping choose-your-adventure novel and feel like a hero journeying your way through a quest, but you’re not seeing it with your own two eyeballs.

When you’re playing a video game, all of that is happening at once. It takes all of your senses and uses them in its storytelling. So it’s no wonder that we’re so addicted to them. It’s perfectly natural. So to honor this great medium, here are some gaming memes that celebrate it in all its glory.
