Computer games are popping out like mushrooms these days. Many of them are played on real time. Meaning, you have to play it on the time that the game dictates it. One of the most famous of course is farmville and the the likes. Games that you must return to in order to gain more points and not lose what you have planted.
Question is... or rather the questions are, are you still in control? or does the game control your time? How often do you play these computer games? and How long?

Computer games can be very addictive. I see many people, children and addults, stuck to computer games for hours each day. I do play online games to. I enjoy them. That is a way of relaxation in the evenings after I get back home from work. But, I don't do that for hours, just a few minutes. That's it.

I agree with you. And often times, people get carried away and they don't know it or simply denying it they get addicted on it already. I do get addicted to computer games. However, after sometime of playing any particular game I get bored and stop playing.

Back when I was still studying I used to be addicted to video games that I spend so much time on them when I was supposed to be studying. I even lacked sleep from playing video games. But then, there came a time where I got tired of playing video games and my playing time gradually lessen.
Right now, I rarely play video games. The most time I've spent is 2hrs and then I move on to other things.

i'm not really good in controlling the time while playing the computer games, i just can't stop after i get started. i used to play it for 5 hours a day, it may be sound normal to those computer game addicts. i addicted to computer games until neglect my study. the result for my study was very bad for that time. so now i stop for most of the computer games especially online game. i just play some mini games when i free. now i feel that i get more time to do what i need to do.

I like playing pc games alot and it do try to limit myself to the amount of time that o use computer games.On average i play around 15-20 hours a week.I sometimes go on a binge and play 8 or more hours in a row and this usually is not so good for my sleep.I just want to play all the games out there and with the huge variety that is available I can't help my self and have to indulge in so many games.

hi there !
I really like to play computer games and have spent most of my holidays playing them. But, nowadays, I find it hard to have spare time to play, but yet, I occasionally play. I can play for even a stretch of 5 hours if I am not that busy.
Cheers
:)

I believe I am still in control while playing games, but I find it difficult while playing role-playing games like Final Fantasy or Ragnarok Online. When leveling up or repeating battles over and over, I don't remember time, but fortunately my stomach can be a good alarm!

You have to control yourself in playing games specially your time. Games remains even while you are sleeping, or in vacation. What do I mean, if you will not control your time, later on you will feel hungry, in short, you could not able to endure in a long time, but the games is still there.
