Can a life of gaming be a good life?

[Max Pearl]

Hi! As you all can se, my in-game name is Max Pearl and im a proud member of the Swedish Hunting Society. Thus i mostly hunt while im in the Entropia Universe.

In real life i live in Gothenburg, Sweden. Im 20 years old and i am a student at the university of gothenburg.

Last semester i finished my second term in philosophy (level B in practical philosophy). Im not sure if the expression "practical philosophy" is used in the same way abroad, in Sweden it means something like the questions of how things out to be instead of how they are (which here is called theretical philosophy).

So, what is the meaning of this post?

The final exam of the second term (ending the B-level) is a report of some sort. In my case the directions was to write something in the subject for value-ethics, meaning a argumentation of the "goodness" or the "badness" of a matter.

I chosed to investigate the case of a online-gaming-life and whether it is possible to be a good life or not. (my english is not that good so describing this is kinda difficult form me).

For all of you who are able to read a text in swedish: I will post a link here for you to download the paper (thanks to Predden for hosting this):

To all of you not able to read it: I appologise for the time wasted reading the introduction and i feel sorry for you missing out

Im not sure if this is of any interest to someone but i hope it is!

All feedback is good feedback so let there be many posts!

Thanks for reading (if you did) and i hope it was a pleasure.

Peace

Well, his comments was not that many actually. The main issue, during the open diskussion of my essay, was regarding wheter you actually are happy when playing or if you just thought you are. Something i could have given a more close research on. Otr than that he deemed the essay as "a really good one".
