Hi all, i am sure each and every one of you has a favourite game to play. Whenever you are bored, having nothing to do, a pastime or even as a routine in your everyday life. The type of games people play differs from person to person. For example, one might like action-packed kind of games, while another might like racing type of games, hence the saying 'one man's meat is another man's poison'.Parents may think that computer games are BAD, due to the multiple reasons they have in mind. Unfortunately, no matter how we reason out with them, they still are adamant that gaming has no good points, thus 'banishing' gaming from our lives. Just to list a few, the think that gaming has nothing to do with studying, as we would learn nothing from it. Also, they find gaming a waste of time, just driving vitual cars, or killing virtual monsters.
However, they are wrong, terribly wrong! There is more to gaming that meets the eye!You will be able to interact with fellow gamers, talk about things, or even share about your experiences in or out of the virtual world. This is totally unlike your friends in the real world, where you meet them almost every other day, and conversations can get slighty boring and uninteresting.
Nevertheless, it does not mean that meeting or talking with our online friends is safe. We never know if our 'friends' are good or bad ones, that is why our parents are worried for our safety when we go online.
Now let me talk about myself. I feel that among the many games that i have played before, Maplestory is still the best! My gaming 'career' started with playing Runescape when i was in primary 4, but after half a year, i found it seriously boring as the quests became childish and not fun. Then i learnt from my friends about the 'hottest' game-Maplestory. Out of curiousity, i went to download it and got myself caught up in this wacky game. It was like a new and undiscovered world to me, filled with strange characters and mysterious places. Like any other game, i soon got tired of it and went back to my monotonous life of playing online games from websites such as, Miniclip to Mofunzone.It was when i got to know from my friends about a game called Cabal.
Upon hearing it, the gaming spark in me got lighted up, and burst into a raging fire of excitement, as my past gaming life caught up with me. I was so overwhelmed by this action/adventure game that time flew past me without me knowing. It was after half a year before the word 'Cabal' disappeared from the class of 1D.
So, how was my gaming life going to end? Well, surprisingly i got back to playing Maplestory, as the fire of my passion for it got rekindled when i saw the icon of it somewhere in my computer. Aww, what a happy ending, you might say. Alas, since the start of this year, i have been unable to load Maplestory's newest patch. However, with determination, i am sure i will get back to my old gaming form!
Good luck to everyone with your games! Soar high my friends and achieve greater heights in your coquest for glory and fame!
