People of all ages get into video games and often than not, they get hookhed and addicted to it. I was a video game addict before until I stopped recently.
During my time of this kind of addiction, I stay very late at night, sometimes I don’t even sleep just to play my game. A lot have been compromised by that time. I was unable to finish my reports, school requirements, and I don’t even had a social life. I always stay in front of the game after school and enjoy the game as if there was no tomorrow. It was until recently when I finally got over video games and focused on my academic life as well as my social life. I did not regret being an ex-video game addict. In fact, i am thankful I was. At least I had something I considered my own.
I guess, maturity always teaches us a lot of stuff and things we never realized before when we were just kids. Video games give us fun and entertainment. Especially for me when I enjoyed playing Role Playing Games where I can create alternate world where I can be myself. Maybe this is the reason why I got hooked on those video games. Somehow I can see myself in the character that I control. It was an an ideal “me”. Someone I hoped I was. And then, there was reality.
