In The Real World, You Only Have One LIFE

I stumbled across one of Rico’s article in his blog about the growing concern regarding todays world – having a virtual life that affects the real life. I must admit, when I was young I’m one of those who spent so much time and money just to play and level up my virtual characters. I used to spend numerous time playing Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Legend of Legaia, and so many more.

I still can remember how I am always being scolded by my Dad because, all day, all I do is sit in front of the TV and play games. Lots and lots of games. Where I even miss to eat and do some of my chores. Where I always look forward to go home when I am in school because I wanted to reach level 99 and get my weapons upgraded to be able to give 9999 damage.

After watching the video below, I came to realize that it’s a good thing that I didn’t became addicted to video games. That you have a real life that needed your attention the most. That there’s much more than being a warrior, an orc, an elf or a mage.

How about you? Are you a video game addict?
