Perhaps the biggest question anyone can ask themselves is why do they game? And not the obvious answer of because I like games, but why did you even pick up a controller in the first place?
Ever since I was a kid I remember loving video games. My parents never played them but they owned an old Nintendo Entertainment System, so when I was about 4 or 5 I began obsessively playing Super Mario Bros 3 every day after school. It began with curiosity but the real reason stems from in my opinion the fact that I was pretty lonely. I didn't have many friends since I was a new kid and my parents both worked all the time so I was just an only child with a NES and a Gameboy at home.
Pretty soon after that I found myself owning an original Playstation which introduced me to games such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. After that, I guess the rest is history. My parents are around now and I've got friends and I'm not lonely anymore but video games are still a part of my life.
So why do you play games?

It's entertaining, it's a good distraction, I talk to other gamers and like minded inviduals about the games i've played.
I do it to help escape the harsh realities of the real world. Relieves the stress of a long, boring day.

[sarcasm] All the hot sex I get from the ladies when they find out I game. They just throw themselves at me at the mere mention of a game I used to play. I have literally had to beat them off me with a stick when ever I would walk out of an EB Games.
If you mean what got me started, it was playing Mario on the NES when a girl and I were playing Doctor with our pants off when I was a kid, and we heard her mom come down the stairs. We threw on our pants, hid our underwear under the bed and turned on the Nintendo to look like we were just playing. After her mom left the girl started taking her pants off again so we could get back to what we were doing, and asked me why I wasn't doing the same. I was enthralled by this Nintendo thing and I couldn't stop playing it. She had to unplugged it from the wall, to get my attention again. We did our thing then played Mario for the rest of the day.
That Christmas I got a Nintendo.

Edit: I love you guys!
To experience the most complete form of escapism and to secretly be a child again, Secretly thinking and wishing this was the world and when your lucky and manage to emerge yourself and forget time, you kinda do live in that world which is just a meta-level of thought. Not having to worry and face the truth. Basically saying to yourself There is No Spoon.
