The Brain and Consciousness

I believe a person can perceive a video game as reality, I do not believe that everyone gets stuck in this Alternate reality. I believe that there are a few factors of how much you perceive the game as being real. The first being the person's personality; say someone who has a typical addictive personallity trait they are more likely to get to the point where they have to plat to the next level or even until they have completed the game. I also feel that depending on how interested and how much the person wants it to be reality is a great factor of making it an alternate reality. For example my little cousins that i baby sit occasionally, they are very interested in which i think are monsters, or maybe just men in fighting attire, and fighting them. They are highly addicted to the game Gears of War, they dont just play the game. They also are always drawing pictures, play fighting each other like they are the game avatars themselves, and they even tell me these stories about the game lkie they are telling stories about their friends. Comparing them to me, I cant even get interested enough to play the game with them. So yes I do agree that someone can get so into a game the believe it's their reality. I also think that someone has to believe or fantisize about the game being real to be able to be interested. The reality of people being so addicted to a game to the point the believe it''s their reality is true people get to this point and I feel it could be very dangerous because of the increase of violence.
