The Beauty of Online Gaming

We have had the Internet for about six years now and I have to say it has transformed our lives in many ways. We are able to work from home, order our shopping online and even communicate with friends and family, all day long if we wish through social media and email.? Many homes have access to the Internet and it can help to make everyday life run smoothly, we even do our banking and manage our accounts online.

With so much concentration focused on how the Internet is able to help our lives it?s easy to forget the other side of online life. Gaming has always been an interest of mine ever since I was bought a Mega Drive when I was a teenager.? Since then I progressed through the consoles moving to the SNES, N64, PlayStations and Xbox?s.? I still love to play on my consoles when I get the chance but I have recently started to venture into online gaming, and it?s yet another reason why I am finding it increasingly difficult to live without the Internet.

Before you start thinking I?m an addict I can

Socialising Through Online Gamingassure you I don?t have enough hours in the day to form any kind of addiction.? I just appreciate the ways in which being online has enriched my life, and when our connection is down I come to realise how reliant I am on the technology which I often take for granted.? I could live without it, I just don?t want to.? The thought of heading to the Supermarket on a busy Saturday to do our weekly shop sends shivers up my spine!

Online gaming is a brilliant way of chilling out at home after a long day at work and having a laugh with friends.? Many of my mates are like me, they can?t afford to go out every night or even every weekend like we used to.? Many of us have wives and a few have kids too so it?s not like we can all head out to the pub any time we please, or go for a kick about in the fields. We do like to keep in touch though so the best way we can do that is by meeting up online and playing a few games of whatever we fancy.? The wives and girlfriends are happy that we?re in the house, and we?re happy that we don?t have to sit through the soaps.

The other great thing is that it?s even possible to meet some great people online. I?m not saying you should head out and meet everyone you get to know, you do have to be careful. My mates and I have met up with a group of lads we often play with online though and it was a great night.? Other people we know I doubt we?d ever meet up but it?s cool to get to know people from all over the world without even leaving the sofa. My mate even met a girl online and she is perfectly normal, and so is he. They make a wonderful couple; it just goes to show how connections can be made in virtual environments. My wife also loves to join in from time to time and we often end up against each other which is awesome; nothing wrong with a bit of friendly competition from time to time.

Chilling Out at Home

I think the social side of online gaming is why I have begun to play them more often, but it also has some other benefits.? There are some occasions when I have played for money and I?ve won. It?s an amazing feeling to receive some unexpected cash and it really gives you a thrill and a rush of blood to the head. If you like excitement it?s a brilliant way to get a buzz just sitting at home as usual.? You don?t have to play for money though to experience the pleasure of winning, there are loads of places you can play for free, or win in-game credits.? It?s just as much fun.

I also find that online games give me a chance to properly unwind and relax.? I work hard and I exercise daily, I also like to do my bit for the wife at home. Gaming gives me that much needed down time when I can shut off my brain and truly stop thinking about when the bills have to be paid, or the next presentation I have to make.

It?s amazing to think of how the Internet has affected our lives.? I use it in so many areas, and increasingly find new ways to make use of the technology. Gaming is just another way in which I am using it to relax, catch up with old mates and meet new ones, win a bit of extra cash and have a laugh at the same time.
