Online Gaming Addict

Online Gaming Addict

I’ve been an addict of computer gaming, but I’m worried on students who are playing online games even during class hours, and spend almost all of their daily allowance in buying gaming loads. The sad thing is that Internet Café’s are so near just a walking distance away from a school. Student usually spend about 3-5 hours on internet café’s and the life style of computer gaming limits their studying hours, even loosing there concentration on studying, and making their sleeping hours short, because if you’re an addict on computer games you will experience its effect every time  you try to sleep at night. It’s like hearing and playing the game inside your mind that makes it hard to sleep. I know, because I’m also a computer game addict since I was in kindergarten years.

All I can say is that it really made me lazy on reading books, and making my study preference as an audio visual person. It’s so hard not being used in reading books because now I’m in college reading is very crucial part so that I can cope with the subjects. I also ask my friends who are also computer game addicts that they also experience the same thing like sleeping problems. I’m so worried because the new generation of computer gamers are so hard core that they are willing to spend  almost 8-12 hours of playing per day and spend large amount of money trading items that will benefit there gaming accounts. What would happen to their health? Because, we all know long and over exposure in front of a pc monitor gives us head aches and possible eye problems. I write this article as my observation and as a concern on the growing community of young computer gamers. My advice to young gamers out there are.

  • Study first
  • Play after you homework is done

  • Stop when you start to feel dizzy or sleepy
  • Don’t skip meals(very important)

  • Eat Nutritious Foods

  • Eat protein rich food to sharpen your concentration in class and in playing

  • Exercise so that you won’t have excess fat on your body. Because computer gaming is only sitting in front of your pc and doing no exercise at all.

  • Don’t be carried away by the games you play

What I have to say about this is that you can just say stop playing games, especially in the MMOG genre. Those advices will not work, because they are addicts. I am a video game addict, per se, and yes i became very fat. But look at me, I'm a college graduate, and I owe my thanks to the video games industry, because I've always aspired to make a game of my own. This is just my opinion, as I've been keeping a balance to those things listed above(except the exercise thing...hehe). And one thing to avoid for me is the MMOGs in the Philippines, as it really drains you out but gets nothing in the end other than a chance to meet(and some mate) others and bragging rights for being on a high level. But all those pointless quests and level grinding made me think that it is the downfall of those games, they drain your wallet, and gives you nothing in return. Computer gaming is at its best when you own a computer or a console, and play it. So to all those youths out there thinking that online gaming is cool and you're nothing without it, I'm telling you I've also been in the same situation, one time struggling on how to feed myself for the next 3 days after I've spent money on games that I cannot personally keep my progress of, other than spending money and keep on playing it.

But then it's informative at its very essence, and I congratulate you for being out of that habit and actually gaining enough experience to share to others.

Best of luck. God bless.

I really enjoyed reading this article :) It hits all too close to home on my end, lol. I have known many people who have fallen into the "addict" category for gaming. Don't even get me started when it comes to World of WarCraft! I play myself (but have learned quickly when enough is enough) but know many parents whom are completely irresponsible. They speak about their small children, yet spend countless hours per day on the game. How on Earth can you possibly care for and nurture a child while dedicating your attention to a game? It baffles me...especially being the parent myself of an infant - there is no way I could commit that much to something while still giving proper care to him!

Keep up the great work!
