About a month ago, I became hooked on mahjong, the ultimate game. It's a bit late in my life to start, but that's how it is. In the past, I might have thought, "Playing games like this would be ruinous, leading to personal downfall." But now, as I've grown older, I've stopped worrying about these ...
Dang this article and the comments on hackernews makes me feel I need to game more.
Only recently I have realised that gaming is indeed an addiction and that I need to stop playing them(wasn't successful yet). It's because during the times I've deeply immersed myself into games, I don't seem to pay attention to my other areas of my life. Now that I recall those times, I don't seem to remember any memorable event in my life in that time period. It's almost as if those years have been skipped in my life which is too bad. Hence I started to think gaming as a bad habit that needs stopping but haven't been able to do so. Hopefully one day.
I am glad that people are having different views on gaming and proposing a belief that it really isn't that bad to be really that immersed into the games.
