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
