Day 13 – Games

People say that games are for children, but I don't agree. I think that there is no such thing as "too old" for games. I still enjoy games, and I am an adult. Playing games helps me relieve stress and unwind after a long day. If you have fun, who cares if you are 12 years old or 85 years old? I especially like to play games that will make me to think and to be creative. Studies have shown that such games can help improve our memory, social skills, and problem-solving skills. It also can help to reduce stress. We can develop such important skills while we are having fun playing games! I think it is a win-win!

One of the main points people make about playing too many video games is that people can become addicted to them. This can be true for some people, so it is important to make a video game, life, and work balance in your day. If you allow yourself only two hours a day to play games, in replacement to watching TV, then there shouldn’t be any issues.

Some of the best moments about playing a game is when you have been working towards an achievement or you have been on a quest for such a long time and finally are able to finish, I feel over the moon. It is a great way to allow our imaginations run free and to feel excited in our mundane world. It also allows us to blow off some steam if we had a stressful day, and to make friends with people from all over the world with online gaming. Personally, I think more people should try gaming. What games are you interested in?
