Internet gaming

Internet Gaming.I guess most of you out there have played Internet games. In this generation, it is not surprising to see adults playing Internet. I too play games. Many games have different objectives, e.g. completing quests, leveling up to allow you to unlock more skills, etc. There are even sports games. As many would have already known, gaming is very addictive. Once you start it will be very difficult for you to stop. This is how many companies earn money. There are many different genres of games. Some people like action games, while others might like massive multiplayer online games such as Maple Story, or DotA. Usually massive multiplayer online games allow people from different countries to interact with one another.

Well many might think that adults know how to control themselves if they start playing computer games, but it is not true. I have known many adults who spend their monthly pay to buy games, such as World Of Warcraft. Many adults who do that are usually already addicted to that game. I have seen adults playing in cyber cafes during their lunch break.

Being addicted to such games can be bad, especially if you are still studying. There are good and bad towards everything, and I mean everything. Ever heard of the saying: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? This proves that even doing too much work can be bad for you! If work can be bad for you games can also have the same effect. Now I will share the pros and cons of Internet gaming with you.

Pros: -Help you relax when you are stressed.

-Can interact with more people.

Cons: -Easy to get addicted to games

-Because you to spend unnecessary money which you can spend on other more important things, such as books or food.

-Spend unnecessary time, which you can spend on more meaningful things.

-When you get addicted you will get very anti-social.

-When you get addicted you will get angry easily for no reason.

-Your English will get worse due the fact that many people use short forms while playing games.

Therefore I think that a little Internet games might be okay but too much is not good. As more people play, the gaming industry can only get bigger.
