Ruining life for gaming?No

My life might have been ruined a bit (maybe a lot) because of Assassin's Creed being released during odd-semester exams. Each year I pick up the game during exams and finish it before the exams end.

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..

I've had similar experience with many online games. I used to play FB game Mafia Wars and lot - even teachers would ask in class what do I find in that game. When 5th sem exams were near I thought 'no more' and never touched it again. I left that one but I keep getting indulged in other online games no matter how boring and repetitive they might seem.

I remember completing Doom 3 a day before my engineering exams. No one was at home. But never skipped college because of games. That's just stupid and total disregard of your own life.

But yeah, try to be above average in studies. That's what is minimum requirement for placements. Otherwise you can always start in small startups, a little long path though.

True. I play a lot, but I never bunk college because of it.
Also I'm bad at studies especially the SEM-2 (Phy/Chem/EDP) bullshit. I know i'll be more interested when more topics of computer are being taught :)

I don't pirate games and played a lot without finding a new job after quitting my old job :p

Your steam ID? :p
 
I was addicted to gaming for a couple of months when I got my PC. But now I have control over it. Some games; like Shift 2; require high concentration and I used to play them for stress relieving.

I read a article once which said if you go abroad for higher studies just stay away from online games...

I woudn't suggest be away from them,We need a balance...maybe 1-2 hours of gaming per day just to refresh us

For me there are certain genres which are addictive while others are not. For eg. I wouldn't want to play a FPS for more than 2–3 hrs at a stretch as it becomes tedious over time but give me a good RPG anytime and even 6–8 hrs at a stretch would seem as if very little time has passed.

They should then just consider a career in streaming, pro gaming or gaming media or game testing or whatever. Channel that interest properly.
Don't fear the parents, instead take right decisions without holding back and only playing games since parents always say no to anything that's not a traditional career.
