ya.. I agree with the 2nd of disadvantages of ur article. this is because I got one friend he is too addict into DOTA games, the only life for him is work and play online game. He didn't go out social. Its so bad >.<
yes... online games are addicting... its good for fulfil our free time... but sometimes i felt its kinda wasting of time..
I felt that online gaming has pro and cons. SOme online gaming can provide some exercise to our brain by making us formulating the strategy and to evaluate the risk of every step taken. But too much online gaming can destroy the youth as it is a waste of time and portraying too much brutality and violence.
I think playing the online games like word challege, shoduku and chess are better cause you can use your brain whenever you playing even for DOTA is also good for brain. haha. It's because you have to think of strategies to defeat your opponents.
em...some online game nice to play but some of them i don't understand how to play and it like very hard to control. For me i prefer the game like puzzle, arcade cause it is easy to understand and much more fun.
