Because because because since...
Each adverbial clause modifies the adverbial clause in front of it.
1) Am I correct to say we can just keep inserting new adverbial clauses that modifies the last?
2) How would you break up the sentence, so it's not just one long sentence? I think it will be hard to do a good job of.
The reason I play computer games is because you can have fun without being interrupted, because you know that no one will want to watch you play, because I won't be very sociable when I'm playing computer games, since I become very immersed in my game.
Thanks

I play computer games because I can have fun without being interrupted. Other people do not watch me play because they realize that I am too immersed in the game to be very sociable.
