Playing Games for All the Wrong Reasons. Like the majority of men my age, I’ve been a gamer for as long as I can remember. But it has always been cyclical. I’ve never given up games entirely, but at certain points in my life the hobby has faded into the background. My gaming might be a few runs of Jetpack Joyride instead of hours spent in Minecraft. During those light periods gaming was squeezed in between my wife, movies, work and the rest of my life. But at other times I would lose myself in games entirely. I used to think my experience was normal. These gaming binges corresponded to the periods in my life when things in the real world weren’t going my way.
