Let's not forget the memories that come with playing video games have on us too! I can look back and just remember the good times I had playing and watching video games with my older brother and think yeah that was pretty awesome and fun.

Amazing video, this is why i love video games and proud to be a gamer.

You missed three:

The epic feeling when you kill the final boss.
The rush of adrenaline when you enter the boss room.

When you crush all of your opponents online.

[SalokinQuagsire]

you forgot the most obvious one: For the glory of catching them all!

[tubernery]

I love video games for their soundtrack:
Last of Us, Zelda theme, Phantom Forest, The Tragic Prince, Waterfalls of Agharta, Aquatic Ambience, etc...

If you enjoy what you are doing, then you have a LIFE!

[MagpieDynamics]

For the satisfaction of beating Dark Souls, only to find that the greatest challenges are yet to come.

[CyanDreams]

I enjoy games because when I was younger it made for a great escape from reality. some games even let me be a badass lady without anybody really thinking I was a weirdo for it.

[THEgameaddict]

the best part for me is failing, ragequiting, then having a plausible strategy hit me out of no where, rush back, whopp levels behind and feel good about it

[yoloalchemist]

I think I'll never quit playing video games for us long as I live.

[Lisa-gses]

For the time you level up a Pokemon to level 100
For the time you find a shiny Pokemon (Before it was easy)
For the time when you finish the game in one night
For the time you realize you have made a companion of pixels
For the time your Pokemon helps you through the bad times
For the time you love a Pokemon so much you cry.
That's all. FOR NOW...

This was the single most touching video I've ever seen. I've loved video games ever since I was a little girl and this video brought back so many memories.

[BeatmasterAC]

- for our first WTF moment after someone screamed Leroy Jenkins.
- for our passion to collect games for ever
- for weeks and months of work to improve a game with Mods
- for the good old LAN Partys
- for the memorable IDKFA and IDDQD Codes
- for the first time we accepted to "stay a while and listen".
- for the time we killed Dicks in Bulletstorm
- for the fist time we heared "first Blood" and did a"Mo-Mo-Mo-Monster Kill"
- for the time we were that good after doing a combo Breaker
- for the time when the player went "boomshakalaka"
- for the time we tried to pull out a Fatality after the "Finish Him"
- for the time we went in panic mode after hearing "Nuclear Launch detected"
- for the time we spent spamming Ha-Do-Kens and Sonic Booms
- for the time we kicked ass and chewed Bubble gums
- for the time we laughed hard after we read "i am error"
- for our joy, after screaming "Fus-Ro-Dah"
- for the time we still full in the game after we heard "Welcome to summoners Rift"
- for the time we did Barrel Rolls
