Video games

Do you play video games? Do you think it helps with eye/hand coordination? Any way I do play and I think it does help. My favorite is Candy Crush Soda Saga.

I became quite addicted to that game. Made it to level 167 then my kids deleted it as they felt neglected!!

I'm at level 883.... now that is an addiction for sure.

My PD Doctor asked if I felt like I was addicted to games and I told her no, but if I am its not a bad addiction to have.

I think I am addicted to video games, but since I'm not able to do too much I spend a lot of time lazing around and I would be awfully bored if it were not for them. I ran an app ("my paid app") to see how much I spent in Video games this year and it was just under $248.49 this year -- that sure was an eye opener. That includes purchased apps and all in-game purchases. I'm trying hard not to make those in-games purchases but sometimes when I'm one boast short of passing the level I just do it. I know it's stupid.

Sounds cheap to me. A couple of hundred for a years entertainment

[TheresaCurley in reply to Serenity_finaly-1]

Glad you said that....it made me feel better.

Just spent more than that for a party to celebrate my wife's retirement yesterday. Since we are geared to addiction if you focus it on keeping reflexes and your mind sharp that is a good investment. Just watch the spending.

I like the fast games. I like to run and drive fast. Temple Run, Relic run, traffic Rider, also some Angry Birds. I'm sure if he knew how, my cat would delete them from my phone and tablet. Too bad buddy, you'll never get that password!

[TheresaCurley in reply to Enidah]

I have never tried those Enidah. I will have to check them out.

I wonder if Foosball would be a good game. it is played standing up around a table and requires quickness to hit a tiny ball with small paddles that represent soccer players on a field. In high school we had a lot of fun at a party with 4 people on each side of the table using one stick each. I guess you could google Foosball and learn more about the game.

My husband with the PD is the one that plays them, and he does so from the time he gets up until 6:30 when we start watching TV together, It is ALL he does, every day.

I really don't have time to play video games but in my past I did have an affinity for playing Tetris. Those of you who know the game won't be surprised by my interest in that game..

[Serenity_finaly-1 in reply to silvestrov]

Tetris, hmm. That is a game from around 1995, 20 years ago you have been busy.

I am playing different free mmorpgs. I don't know if it's good for my health, but it makes me feel better and to distract from problems. Moreover, I am not spending any finances on that, so, why not? I just found some really nice free mmorpgs on yourmoneygeek.com/free-mmorpg/ and I really enjoy playing them. What do you think about that ? It's scientifically proved that the online games can be useful. They can develop social skills and stuff like this
