Things have been good.īut make no mistake, if I stop enjoying the physical world, or end up losing my mobility, I will find an online world that I actually enjoy and make friends there. Then I got a jobs that I enjoy even more. Things got better when I got a car they consistently improved from that point. It wasn’t my parents punishments, teachers encouragements, nor a desire to do better in life.Īnd what did I do with that freedom? I hung-out with the people I was playing Diable II and Counter-Strike with. I chose to spend as little time in the real world as possible (and the games were less compelling then than they are now). Many of my classmates turned to drugs, shoplifting, and other bad behavior. Not with the gaming, with everything else. Here’s the truth that I have never expressed to anyone. My parents did everything they could think of to try and stop me, but I was always found a way to game. It adversely impacted my grades, I stopped talking to friends who weren’t gamers, and my parents were mad as hell.

I played Baldur’s Gate, Diable II, Counter-Strike, and other PC games as often as I could. In my early teens I was deeply addicted to gaming. But it’s each individuals decision to make, I’m not going to judge. Gaming to the detriment of health, family, work, school and personal relationships is probably a poor decision. Some gamers take their addiction to excess. Yes those tasks are virtual, but I make website for a living… when I have a good day it’s usually because of a virtual accomplishment. Players make friends, pass time, and accomplish tasks together. This is even more true for people with physical disabilities. Wonderful people who are ignored in the physical world can blossom when they are freed from the confines of their bodies. In online games, your behaviors and personality are not evaluated by your appearance. Physical world success is far more fickle. If you make it, it’s because you earned it. To earn level 70, each player has to jump through the same hoops as everyone else. No one is born with more wealth, or opportunity than anyone else. Online games like WoW are meritocracies each player gets what they earn.
