myLot reputation of 94/100. crisesand (913) 4 years ago

One time I felt the urge to buy Cd games to play on my PC. Though I am not an addict yet on computer gaming, I could say I must be going to that, but then now I realize that it is not bringing me any good. I won't quit a game without winning and sometimes I can last the whole night awake because I did not win and I am compelled to replay it over and over, til I feel fainting ande my eyes getting sensitive to light. Times like this, I am thinking of the hours wasted.

I am being reminded of the effectiveness of moderation. How about you? I know I have to quit this and I can dislike it the moment I feel this fainting. If there is one unproductive activity that I can point to as a caprice or vice, it is being online and doing all these sorts of endless futile entertainment.

That is really true. Anything done in excess will result in something bad. And it usually affects us. I also tried games on my PC when it was new and just like you, I go to bed late at night and it affected my health. It's good that we realize, it will do us no good. So let's just spend time here and earn.

ya computer gaming can be very addictive.. it is designed to be that way..
even i used to play a lot when i first got a computer, but not very much now a days..
i gradually got fed up of it and finally sort of quit.. i wont say quit because i still do play, but i make sure that i dont wastemuch time over it,because there s nothing that you gain from it..

I've done this many times even forgetting to eat as I try to complete a game. The best thing to do is force yourself to quit playing, it isn't easy but you feel better. I get headaches if I play too long so usually quit then.

Moderation is essential.

My girlfriend and I had some problems with this issue. I usually play long hours in games like DOTA and some MMORPG. Eventually I realized that the more I play, the less the satisfaction I receive. My girlfiend doesn't like the games I play. She prefers short games or "game over" games.

I decided to stop playing lengthy games and play some computer games with my girlfriend. You know what? I find it more entertaining to play games such as Chicken Invaders, Bubble Bobble, etc., with my her rather than playing high resolution games against other competitive gamers.

It's not bad to play games, but do not compromise those people and things you truly love. In the end, the game will end, but you still have them.

I play online games a lot and I know Im addicted... but cant stop it.

However Im happily married... and my wife is not playing games at all.
We have some argues about my online time spending, but she understands that I need it. That attitude helps me to realize how she loves me and I try to limit my time with computers.
