It's fun, especially games from Pop Cap... Before, I have limited access to the internet so my laptop is my gaming console if I have nothing to do. Off line games like those help me kill time and kept me entertained.
My friend introduced me to Tiberian Sun and that's the begining of my gaming life. I was hooked. The graphics was a complete 180° and the game play is ever changing. No patterns to memorize, a completely random game.
No... That's the fun part about it. You can kill someone over and over without the slightest feeling of guilt can jolt your mind. A remorse-free world...
I haven't done that yet. I bought consoles years after they've been released just because I know I could get the gane cheaper that way. But buying old platform like SNES or NES not yet. Given a chance to buy one, I will definitely get one. It would definitely bring memories back....
Before, gaming has a negative effect on my personal life because I'm a sore looser. Now, it taught me self-control and self awareness. It's just a game.
