Win big


Because these games are rooted in the internet it allows society to do something special. This encourages confidence.

I totally understand how one could feel like they are their best self when playing a game which makes a person continue the game. However, it's hard to see the connection between a virtual world and reality. I had this same issue with the army making a connection between virtual life and reality. It's a deeply explored but hard connection to buy. If heroes could come from video gamers then why don't we have them yet. I feel as though gaming is recreational heroism. Life is the escape from not being perfect(in the video game). I am also curious what would happen if we put gamers to the test. The army does it every day. To see young men and women put themselves in dangerous situations based on their ability to win big is a scary thought. However, this thought is one that I'm curious to see the out come. I do see the connection in the text and film. It's clear that if you have that much confidence In one area of your life then you are capable to succeed it other areas. I guess I'm just playing into human fear when thinking of the outcome of winning big in life like a game. However maybe just maybe the video gamers are accessing apart of their brain that others cannot comprehend.
