Running for the bus, the rain began to pour.

If you really think about, it's saying that the rain is running for the bus, which makes NO sense. Here, read it again...

Running for the bus, the rain began to pour.

The author wasn't specific about who exactly was running for the bus.

Not sure if it asks you to do this, but if you were to change it and make it agree, it would be "As I was running for the bus, the rain began to pour." There're other ways to write it of course, but the point is that now you know who actually ran for the bus, and it makes sense.

In the excerpt from reality is broken Jane McGonigal makes the claim that gamers are rejecting reality in favor of playing games

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Reading Jane McGonigal's article, we are presented with the argument that many people have preferred the virtual universe of games over reality, because the experience and expenses of the game are better than those of real life. To reinforce this argument, she shows that real life has been unsatisfactory in many ways and people have used games as an escapism, to participate in a world, where they feel satisfied and happy, where their needs are met. However, McGonigal says that this is something of concern, because it makes us close our eyes to real problems in humanity and uses the escapism of games to ignore them instead of solving them.
