Is it good or not playing video games ? (Entry #2)

   

Hello Everyone !

 In this article, I want to talk about video games! We will explore a little of the advantages that we can get by practicing this hobby, but also the disadvantages that can come with playing video games.

When I was 7 years old, my father bought a computer, it was not the most powerful, but not the weakest either, what caught my attention the most about that computer was that it had 2 video games installed, Shrek 2 and Spider-Man 2.

Even right now I would like to play these games, I can't express in words, how many memories and how much happiness these games brought to my face at that time.

   Video games are known, as a very good option to relax and disconnect from the stress that we accumulate periodically, you can say that it is a form of therapy. Another type of video games are multiplayer games, which put you in situations to cooperate with your colleagues, which helps you to be more sociable, but also to practice your team skills. In addition, this also helps to improve existing relationships and can lead to new friends, but also beautiful memories. Many games require certain skills that you can develop along the way, such as strategic thinking, problem solving and creativity. 

In some cases, you are asked to pay attention to details, make quick decisions or adapt to unforeseen situations, which can give you many cognitive skills. Another essential reason I can give regarding this topic , is strategy games and puzzle games are a very good choice for brain training. 

Right below I will put 2 links with some browser games that you can play to develop your strategy or thinking skills.

Strategy & thinking games

 

Indeed, I agree that video games are fun, along with a certain list of benefits, but unfortunately, if we are not careful about the time spent in front of the screen, we can suffer from many cases. Let's be serious, when we like an activity, how many of us would not want that activity to end? Well in our case, like sitting too much at the computer, it can lead to sedentarism, and sedentarism is not exactly our friend. At the same time, we can even have cardiovascular problems, back pain but also spine, and let's not forget of course vision problems.

 

Another disadvantage that I would like to tell you is that Anxiety, depression, aggression and social isolation are not uncommon among those who play excessively. We end up feeling more comfortable in front of the screen than in the midst of people, and this can lead to serious problems in social life. Therefore, whatever we do in life, we must do with limits.

Do you know someone who plays video games, or that person it is actually you?

Hello everyone!

    Since I've started posting articles on this blog, I decided to start the first article by telling you a little about myself, so you don't think you're talking to a stranger. Thus, I chose to talk to you about some activities that I usually choose to do in my free time, so let's get started !

 

    I have a passion for team sports, especially basketball, I try to play at least once a month with my group of friends. As I was a boy with a lot of energy when I was little, and a little passion for sports, I was pushed from behind with the idea of ​​signing up for a basketball team that opened many friendships for me but also a great passion for this sport. I suggest everyone should do such an activity as a team sport. The teamwork skills, the strategic thinking that you get from  sports team, is unmatched by any other option. Let me show you guys a picture of the team I used to play with.

 

    A hobby that I usually do as often as possible, since I haven't had much time for basketball lately, is going to the gym. I started to fall in love with going to the gym, for the sole reason that it always helps you clear your mind but also builds your body in a good and healthy way. But let's not forget the discipline that develops during the process. I usually go at least three or four times a week, but something always comes up and I only do it when I have free time, which is on the weekend.

 

    But besides these activities and hobbies, I can also say that I am a person who really likes to play video games but also board games, such as chess and backgammon. I can say that these activities are also very good options to develop your critical thinking and creativity.

 

    Having said that, I can say that I have told you a little about myself, so let's find out something about you now! Why not?
