Addictive Gaming Behavior

I have played game since I was 10 years old. Gaming technology at that time is still underdeveloped and simple. I remember I could sit in front the television for hours to play the simple soccer and rambo games. A few years later, it's getting a little bit crazier when they combine the internet and games together so that we have what calls: online game. As the technology grows, games with stunning graphics and fancy contents keep being produced and competing each other. The first game I got addicted to is Counter Strike. A very popular shooting game in which you team up, search for your enemies and destroy them. If it was computers that I'm playing with, I wouldn't be bother to play it. But the best thing of online games is it brings your friends and people around the the world together in a single battle and have fun.
Online game is addictive because it is capable of forming an in-game relationship, especially in huge-successful online games like the World of Warcraft, Lineage, and Counter Strike... The moment I join the game, I actually feel like I am a part of that community. Players that lack of social skills might end up spending hours on these games. Because in the game, all you need is fighting skills and endless training hours. The more time you spend on the game, the better you become. As a result, you can join any in-game community where people recognize you and shows you a lot of respects. That certainly make you feel good about yourself. And that's why a lot of online players spend the whole day and night on their computer training and seeking to be the best of the game.
