I am currently hooked to Online gaming. Every weekend or even weekdays after office hours me and my boyfriend play online games. I was introduced to online gaming 2 weeks ago and I can say that I am hooked to the game. Is it good or bad? It consumes most of my time now and I dream of it. lol!! But the good thing about it is, it kept me away from the malls which in return resulted to savings but because it consumes my time I cannot do my laundry and I cannot do the things that I usually do. So, in your opinion, is online gaming good or bad? not only for children but also for adults.

there are some games that just wastes your time - but there are few games that could make you fresher... i'll give some example - O2Jam. in O2Jam, skill is 100% required. no such an avatar or equipment will give you an advantage, so you must practice yourself step-by-step. it will train your brain speed and responses as you play the game harder and harder. Gunbound. you're not just shoot your opponent luckily. you must count, either you'll lose. so, it will train your logical and mathematical skills. PangYa(Albatross18 in USA). basically the same as Gunbound, but more difficult. many pros in this game are really genius. they didn't use any calculators to chip the ball in. so, is gaming good or bad? you choose. either you wanna be a freak, or you wanna play for fun, or you wanna play for your brain's health, it's your way. regards

Pangya is a golf simulation game, but it describes itself as a cartoon world golf. you can make various impossible shots, such a power spin or even make your ball fly like a fire missile. the character can be customized with avatars and equipment,such as clubs and balls. these give you advantages, such as your shot distance, your accuracy, etc. there are many courses in PangYa. each course has its ratings, whether it's easy or difficult. but the leveling - it's quite difficult to rank up because of little experience gained. at first you'll be a rookie - maybe it's difficult to shoot, but after you gained experience and money, you'll be able to get used on the shot.

don't forget to get out and breathe some fresh air. and time to time stare away your eyes from the monitor like every 30 minutes so you will minimize eye strain. when you devote time to a certain thing of course some aspect of your life will be left out. well its good because your having fun and it satisfies your game appetite. just don't overlook things and make up for your absence. Game is for all ages. i laugh at my grandpa when he play PS2. I wonder what online games are you playing?

I'm currently playing RAN Online. And it is so addicting. I have 3 charcters and I miss them whenever a day pass that I can't play them. And I already have friends on the RAN World.

It would be bad if it affects your school life or job. If you are still on school, you should prioritize school first because your future depends here. You can play as long as you have finished your homework. Refrain from playing if you have incoming exams.

Online gaming can't be bad as long as you don't let it get to your head too much. Some players feel as if they live "inside" the game (if you know what i mean) and even make enemies and make things complicated. Just don't avoid your daily chores and the more important things that you have to do in life.

All the online games are kind of addictive, because you can interact with people and play at the same time. In my opinion online gaming its good but not for childrens

it is very addictive and one must have self control. I know that most of the student or children or teen don't have much but it can't be helped. on the bright side you can make new friends from all over the world from the online games. At least what I used to think.

It depends on the person on how he or she handles a problem. For me its not a problem even though I am an online addict gamer,I have to set my priorities straight. So for me online gaming is good. It teaches me more patience and to deal with different problems in life.
