A career in communicating

I'd never really thought of it before tonight.

Why do I want to make games? Because I want to tell stories.

What does telling a story accomplish? It evokes emotion, in my case I want to make someone happy, or feel complete.

Is this really about games? Can I get the same fulfillment out of life by simply taking on the happiness or anger of others?

My issue with conflict, at its root, has always been that I felt I was being incorrectly judged; someone would be upset with me when it wasn't even the "real" me.

But how does this work when anonymity comes into play? Would I still be affected by the conflict, or would I enjoy having the feeling without the mental repercussions?

Holy crap. I gotta think about this.
