Forgive me for not learning to appreciate online games. Yesteday, I was at the internet cafe and I was surprised to see many students (mostly still in school uniforms as it was just around 2:00 o'clock in the aternoon)enjoying online games. They were so noisy that I didn't stay long inside the internet cafe. I know it is fun but, I guess, students should not play it during school hours.
Do you enjoy playing online games?

I agree that students should not be skipping school to play, hopefully someone will take charge and do something about it.
I see nothing wrong with playing online games, but with moderation, I do like it myself and have few favorite websites I go to very often. That's true it's time consuming and addictive. Some of you may know that computer gaming is recognized nowadays as addiction and treated as for example substance abuse. So beware everyone!
As for the noisiness - lucky me I don't go to internet cafes and don't suffer from noisy teenagers. I keep quiet whenever playing online, I always mute the game and get my favorite music on, so I can relax double way.

Great! There is nothing wrong about playing online games for as long as it won't hamper your studies or any other worthy activities.

Yeah, I enjoy playing online games. Playing together with others is really fun too. Actually I like to play games, but I understand that it's very time consuming too. So, I hardly play. Here, many students, even primary school students always play online game in internet cafe too, which is not a good culture.

Playing online games is not per se bad. It only becomes wrong when you become too preoccupied with it or become addicted to it that other important and productive things to do are left out.

I only play online games like the ones in yahoo... but with the ones played by students in internet station... i have never tried that... when i was a teacher... that was one of our problem... students skipping school to play those games....or that they do not make their homework or study for exams because of such activities...
In my area... internet stations are not suppose to allow students to play internet games during school hours... if they are caught doing that... they will lose their business license...

There is also an ordinance imposed by the city government in our place but the internet cafe operators do not follow this and the government officials don't even bother to check about this. Whew, useless ordinance.

I haven't tried playing online games and I'm not so sure if it will ever try it. Maybe I can recommend the site to some of my friends who play online. Thanks.

Yes, and I also have my own online games website, there's a link to it in my profile. As I just said in another post, it's only small and it's my first attempt at building a website, so I don't think it's that bad at all though i am planning on making some improvements now that I know a bit more about what I am doing.

It's not bad at all especially if you will do it for a living. Maybe you can have a good career out of this. Great! Good luck.

Nope! I think it's complicated and noisy. I once went to a computer shop to have a document scanned and I saw these young people very busy doing attacks to their playmates. Yeah, its just for past time but these teenagers and even adults are too addicted that they spend their whole day in computer shops. Hmp ^^/

The players in the internet cafe are really very noisy. It shows that they are really enjoying it. I guess it's okey to play provided one does not get addicted to it.

I also don't play it but I have a little idea of how it is played.
