I avoid playing games, usually, because they do not pay me, and they do not educate me. They are fine once in awhile as a pass time, but there are many other things we can do.

I mostly avoid the television as well. One show might be good, and it is easy after awhile to leave the rest, but my husband will watch anything that moves.

Hi, I used to play games on computer a lot, varying from casual games to big fighting games. I was really additcted to them at that time and often kept playing for several hours a day. But now I don't play that much, not because I've lost interest in games, but due to lacking of time. I've got so much work at hand and can hardly spare a minute to seek for leisure, yet the good old memories are always on my mind.

We have to work and study,so we have no time to play games indeed. Playing games properly can relax ourselves,I think.

I think games are designed for fun.If you play game for a whole night and it makes you so tired,then it's not the original intention of games.Don't be regret anymore,it's too late.why not start to read right now?

I guess its okay to play games online. As long as you don't get really addicted to them and they wind up taking up all your time and interferes with your life. I just like to play games online for fun and sometimes I play with other people and we can interact and socialize while we are playing the game.

I play them all the time, I am a gamer at heart. I am actually playing a game at the moment called Runescape, but its not the only one I play. I used to do "all nighters" all the time, I can't be bothered to do that at the moment, but I may do in future again. I love MMORPG's because I can speak to friends and play with them, I especially love the ones set in medieval times like Runescape and World of Warcraft. I think I am a bit addicted, but I can stop if I want. I sometimes go weeks without playing them. I just prefer to play them as I enjoy them because they're my hobby. I don't think I have played the game you have said though. I may look it up later and give it a try. =)

I think certain games can stimulate your mind, and help you to exercise those brain cells. If you play games that help to increase your brain power,not overdo it, and use moderation, then I think games can be very benefical in that way.

hi, xinlingchengba. well i almost never play games. i think they are just a waste of time but i know they are well-designed to make people addicted. i used to play some video games and spent too much time and found them addictive. so i keep away from them.

I know "Around the world in 80 days", I played it some time ago, it was fun to play, and I understand why you got addicted to it. I like to play games, and I play many different kids of games. I work and study online and I think that games are a nice way to relax when I need a break. I don't feel that I am wating my time when I am playing games, because I try to find games that I can learn something from for instanse hidden object games where I am able to learn something about geography and history. English is not my first language, and sometimes I also learn new words through the games.

Hi angel: Sounds like you are really addicted to video games. I considere myseld addicted but at least I have never forgoten to eat because of the games. However, I think that if you have self discipline you'll find a way to do the other important things and give yourself a time for playing. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I sometimes play the games on facebook, such as farmville, petville, etc. I haven't played any other games on the computer since I got this computer in February 2009. They can get addicting, can't they? No, I don't think they're a waste of time. It might depend on how much time you have to waste, though, lol. I might want to try this "around the world in 80 days". I like to travel and it sounds like this one would be a lot of fun.

Once or few more times, I have played games rather online games on computer. I don't like so much computer games but I favourite game is Mario. I like it and whenever I am free I play Mario of different stages and version. It's fun playing adventurous, Mario is one of them. Didn't you tried once? Just try mario and I am sure you gonna say the same. It is not waste of time but to enjoy and make use of leisure time..

i'm a game fanatic but i often play in my ps2. i don't have a pc. ps2 games are ok for me. yeah, sometimes i regret playing cuz it could have been time for productivity. i'm a big fan of playing rpg games, which requires more time than the usual games, so when i play, i feel like i just had to finish chapters of it until i'm feeling tired. then i'd rest or take a quick shut eye for a while, then play again. lol. there were times when i played non-stop from morning to midnight. i'd stop only to eat, then i'll continue on playing afterwards. lol.

Sorry my friend I am not playing this game. So I did not really know what are talking about, but from it names it must be how to travel around the world in 80 days. I think 80 days to short to travel around the world, you will not see many thing in that short time.

I rarely play with me computer, specially when I bought my psp. Computer does have a lot of keys to use unlike in my psp. I played the "wedding dash,Insaniquarium and a lot more. I really like brain games because it enhances my IQ more. Like detective games, Mystery files and etc.

Hi xinlingchengbao: I love to play video games but I'm addicted to the Pokemon Gold for Gameboy Advanced. What I do to control myself is just playing like 20 minutes a day and no more because I know it's very important to know how to control yourself. I think there is nothing wrong with video games as long as you know how to control your time. Thanks for sharing with us your experience with these games. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

No, I do not play games on computer. My brother plays poker whenever he has time and I never tried to know what is that pokar. I do not have time to play games and the most important I do not like playing games on computer. Its not waste of time because you will play games when you have time to do so but skipping your work or study and playing game than its waste of time for sure.

i hardly play games on my computer, except for the solitaire, which i occasionally dabble with to pass download time. don't just plan with those books, do it. you are missing a lot of things if you pass reading by. surfing is also good to enhance one's knowledge, that is if you are visiting the right sites.
