I'm writing a book about Why We Play, and I've been a fan of your blog (though only as a reader) for some time now. Number 3 on your list speaks to me very deeply, especially now that I've been working on this project daily for well over a year.
I intend to start publishing essays and excerpts soon - I'll be sure to share them back to you if you're interested. Thank you for your time and energy in the blog.

The first three lines of my draft, if you're curious: ;)
I've played a game called RuneScape for 5000 hours and I don't know why.
Was all that time wasted?
Was any of the experience valuable?
And for this not to seem like shameless self-promotion, I am always interested in an individual's answer to this question. Comprehensive or not, to anyone reading this: why do you play?
