Are GAMES more interesting than life?

I've already gone through the period when I used to escape reality by immersing myself in computer games. Now, I hardly play games at all; I mostly just hang out online and chat with people. And it's not because I have communication problems in real life, but simply because I'm not studying or working right now, and I'm bored. All my friends are preparing for exams. The computer helps me not to escape reality, but to expand it.
