Loop

What if video games are an escape from reality? I know I've always heard that before but never really listened to what it meant. What if I can step into this imaginary world for awhile, put another layer of life in between me and the void? What if I could keep doing this in more and more layers, just exist in a game world within a game world within a game world etc. ? What if that's all life is? Just a looping, infinite game world emulation?
