If you are reading this post,probably you are also a gamer.We people game nearly everyday-Dota,CS etc etc...This thread that I created is just to say about people how get addicted to these games.
Many of us over here play Dota,CS,Though you people and I love the game,Do you waste your entire day playing??
Even quite a few pro's over might play 3-4 matches a day,But some people ruin their lifes by not attending college at all,And just gaming from morning 9 still the cyber cafe shuts down.I personally know 2 friends of mine who din't get their hall tickets for the 1st semester finals,Why?Cause they hardly attended college.. they were busy gaming.
I can controll myself can you all?
So,whats you view about this?

Well I have full control over it. When I had my supplementary exams going on and my one year was on line then I hardly visited this forum let alone gaming for nearly one month. Recently when Mid Sems started then also paused gaming for a week. I certainly game a lot when I get time, after the Mid Sems were over I played like hell, FC3 but then again I can control it whenever I want.
It comes with experience I think. If you have played enough games then I think you can control your urge or maybe thats just me. Because in olden days I wasn't able to control but now I am in full control over it. :)

Sometimes I can but other times I hardly can control myself. During my last major exams I played on even during the previous day of every exam and ended up with one supplementary and pretty bad result overall. I hope it goes better this time around.

Very interesting discussion. I got a confession to make. Yesteryear I completely lost control and played games(League of Legends) right till my board examination and even during. I ended up scoring a mere 95% but I swear I was perfectly capable of scoring at least 98% (98.2% was the highest in the country I think). I had a deal with my dad. 97+ and I get an alienware, anywhere less and I get a downgrade. I lost.

nice thread to open eyes for the heavy (student)gamers..

I have gone through this kind of addiction, i was addicted to an online game gunbound. i liked it in the begining, i used to play it heavily, even played since morning till midnight when i was addicted.
after some time i realized that i was actually wasting my time at something which has no scope out side of this game. Tha time i qut it completely. i was rank 1 in india when i quit it. there were small number of indian players in that game though..

Its good to quit such addiction and get back to your life.

TBH guys, Gaming doesnt have the "same feel" to it as it did before.. 2-3 years ago, i always wished to buy a good GPU, a gaming PC and spend the rest of my life in euphoria, but once I got them.. I just cant feel the same way about it as I did..
I still play, but I have about 7-8 Games installed on my PC to complete and some of them I havent even touched for months..
I just turn on my pc, browse internet, watch youtube, play league of legends ( rage a bit) rinse repeat

I too have a confession.Yes gaming indeed ruined my life in 2013, two years ago in 2012 I discovered an online game called "World Of Tanks".I started playing as an amateur but soon after levelling up I decided to go pro(Join a clan and play tournaments and stuff).I had a cosy job as a software engineer in company called Accenture in Bangalore.I wasn't happy with the job so decided to quit it and start looking for other avenue's namely an MBA or some govt organization.But for that I needed to give a few exams, so in Feb-2013 I bade my job goodbye and decided to put all my focus into preparation for the exams.

But little did I know that I had a devil lurking over my shoulders in the form of "World Of Tanks" !

Instead of using my free time for preparation I started playing even more......******, and even when I used to study the game inevitably crept into my mind !(When to fire the first shot, whom to kill first...which tank is better...and all that tournament BS)

In the words of Captain Barbarossa from "POC: On Stanger Tides": "We must lie in the bed the way we made it" !

My actions caught up-to me and before I knew it...It was Jan,2014(Result Time !) and I couldn't get into a single college of my choice !

I muttered an uncountable number of curses at the game and kicked it from my life forever !

Everybody makes mistakes and so did I, but I hope I can compensate for it in 2014....

Sometimes I wish I could quit gaming completely but as a friend of mine once remarked "Gaming is like smoking...You can stop,but you can never really quit" !.

There is no need to quit. Gaming is a type of entertainment and should be seen that way. If you can control your gaming habits then its perfectly OK to game as much you want because you know that when time arises then you can pause it and then resume it.

I remember when i was addicted to the MMORPG - "Ragnarok Online"..
This was the first MMORPG game i've played & BANG.. I got Caught in its Web !!!!
I became so obsessed with it that i preferred the game over porn !! :p
I used to think about it all the time.. I used to bookmark the Various wikipedia pages( irowiki) & used to read it instead of my studies..

Fortunately, I got out of its addiction..I was Browsing FB one day & I saw one of my friends who posted that he got a good job at some MNC & everyone was congratulating him..i don't know whether that was ego or inferiority Complex, but That day kind of flipped a switch a switch inside me to study & work harder & i haven't touched the game since ( 9 months & going strong) :)

Apart from a tennis game ( Dream Match Tennis Pro), i hardly play any other game & ensure they don't mess up my life.
