...an online games? Well right before I set up my tank I was....for the last 3 years I had been playing a game called Knight Online...
I had read in some magazine that to some people, video games can be as addictive as crack (only without all the side affects), and for a while I didnt beleive it...now I do.
Like...I would sit on the computer for 10 hours straight talking on ventrillo or teamspeak to other people. I would stay up till 3 in the morning and have to wake up at 6am for school. I would skip meals if I could. I was barely passing because in school all I could think about was going home and playing that game...if I wasnt sleeping through class. At school, I would try as hard as I could to get on computers so I could look through the games forums.
I used to make up so many excuses for doing bad in school..and why I didnt want to do anything else but play. I spent over 300$ on the game using my dads CC (not crushed coral!!!)...luckily there was a limit to how much you could spend in a certain time period.
And even if I got on the game and I didnt have game money to spend, or nothing to do, or none of my friends were on. I would run around the map for HOURS, doing nothing!! I dont know why I did that....I just couldnt not be on the game.
If I went a day without playing...I would be so irritable, get headaches, feel shakey...seriously.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this. All the items I had on the game I gave away to my friends, and even right now I feel like reinstalling it and playing.
I guess I was just tired of being told I have no life by my family.
And anyone out there who just started playing a game or something...if your not hooked already, I suggest you quit because you might become.
I had played that game for like 3 and a half years, and for the first year and half, I could quit whenever, But once you get good at a game and have skills and items and friends, it is like it becomes a second life, these last 2 years were miserable and I wont have enough time to make up for everything I missed outside of my house.
