Relationship vs PC games

in #family7 years ago

Recently, I've heard of a lot of failed relationships because of the addiction to computer games. Many couples break down because the free time of the partner is filled with the virtual reality.

It's hard to find the right balance in a relationship, but one thing is for sure - the more time and attention we share for our partner, the better the relationship develops. I'm going to tell you how from a person who spends more than 8 hours on average per day in front of the monitor, I managed to get over it and find balance.

I will start from the beginning ...

My first clash with electronic games was at the age of 4 when I had a soviet portable game:

This simple game (wolf collects eggs) brought me a great joy.

When I was 6 years old (in the distant 1990), I received as a gift my first TV game - Atari.

I have since fallen in love with this wonderful world of electronic games, although the games were ugly pixels moving on the screen. frogger2600Screen.jpg

Unfortunately, I did not have a computer, but I went to my classmate who owned the Pravets computer at home ...

I still remember the Prince of Persia's adventures.

Gradually, with the development of technology, I acquired the next TV games...

Dune II - my first strategy game, that was not on PC...I will not go into detail about each game, because they all deserve a separate post.

I remember the time we played on video games machines in neighborhood clubs ... we were buying tokens and it was really a matter of life and death to beat the game...

I miss the portable games like Tetris and Tamagotchi, who were with me when I was not at home or at the game club...

At the end of the 90`s, the first clubs started to appear in Bulgaria, where you pay 1 lv. to play for 1 hour. Here I was totally captivated by the titles Star Craft, Quake 2, Half-life, Heroes III, Diablo, CS, NFS, FIFA and many more.

On the eve of the new 2000 year, I received as a gift, my first PC - Pentium 4 with Sony Trinitron flat screen monitor...I had the best PC among my freinds...

Man, I do not know how I managed to finish high school with excellent grades, given that I played the most games in all genres...
To understand correctly ... one morning I sat at 7am with a cup of hot tea in front of the monitor, started my new RPG Baldur`s Gate, then took a sip of tea ... and he was cold ... I looked at a clock It was 12 o'clock in the afternoon ... a few hours were gone in seconds without notice ... then I said to my self: dude, you have to stop ... control yourself ...
I started to practice sports, to study, I became a student ...and...

my son was born... So many things that are real, not virtual.

I must admit, that I have never stopped playing PC games ... I just started choosing the titles carefully, playing less, but more valuable things. Now I have the last HP omen laptop...
