when I used to play a space adventure game a few years ago (RPG game), I became in love with my character on the game.

here she was, a 22 year old pilot, setting out in her spaceship to destroy planets and asteroids (and other naughty aliens), then she would come home, talk with her boyfriend (she had one in the game), and they would go on late night picnics or to the beach.

and then you log off and think... wow. you're life is 100 times worse than that

I guess what I'm saying is..... I know. I know what it's like
