When my parents head out, I would stay at home and play video games. That is how I became "reliant" on games. I'm interested in all types of games, be it web-based ones, mobile games or console titles. But I don't spend too much money on games. The time spent together playing with friends is more enjoyable.

If there is not too much work from school, I would spend three to four hours on games every day. But when my friends and I get together to play a game, we would spend at least seven or eight hours a day. I sometimes spend the whole day on one game to complete a particular mission. Sometimes I tell myself that I would just play for a short while before heading to bed. The next thing I know, it's already 4 am.
