I have never been a great fan of outdoor games. I don't play as well as watch any outdoor games. I'm a huge fan of computer games. The gaming industry is really very huge now. Most of the interesting games have now been brought to the virtual world in the form of computer games. There are also some specific gaming devices that are exclusively available for gamer. From my childhood, I have been able to play so many computer games. During my childhood I used to wonder if I should take a profession where I become a game developer. During my college days I also got some contacts online of people who do beta testing of games and get paid for it. I really love to take up a profession that pays me for playing games. It is similar to a profession that pays for travelling around the world. Only people who have such interest will be able to understand that feeling. 

I have seen so many friends who talk a lot about cricket and football. During such conversations I will not be having anything to contribute. But when it comes to computer games and that too some common games that I play, I really find it very comfortable and talk about it. I have spent lots of time in my life in playing so many computer games. Some games I have even played repeatedly multiple times. 

Types of games

I usually admire strategy games. I always feel that whatever I do in my life should add some value. Even while playing games, I choose games that add some value to me. Strategy games gives me good focus and out of box thinking capabilities as well. I mostly avoid games that are mere routines. If I have to do some tasks repeatedly again and again inside the game, I usually get bored and quit that game. I always expect a game that will make me think in different aspects and gives me so many possibilities. 

The type of game that I choose is always rich in keeping me occupied to try out many patterns and possibilities. I avoid shooting games or fighting games as well. The reason is because I get saturated after playing for some time. If I'm playing games with my friends in multiplayer mode, it can go on for some time but if I play individually without any different things to do in the game, I easily get saturated. I also prefer playing RPG games where I decide what to do in the game instead of just blindly following the tasks given to me in the game. 

Dota 2 is my game

Currently I have been playing Dota 2 for nearly 7 years. Initially I played this game like mad for more than 10 hours a day apart from my regular work life. I found a serious addiction to this game during the first 3 years when I played this game. I have spent more than 100 days of my life to play this game. The reason why it is interesting for me is because every Dota 2 game that I play makes me use different strategies and it also shows me victory and defeat in front of my eyes. If I win a game, I'm attracted towards winning again and again. If I lose a game, I'm attracted towards trying again to win the game. It kind of created a great addiction 4 years back. Then I realized that I'm spending way too much of time in playing this game and I stopped playing. 

For the past one year I have again started playing the same game after I recently bough my new gaming laptop. Though there have been lots of changes in the past few years in the game, the strategy is still the same and it induces same addiction even now. But I'm a bit matured right now than before and I don't really spoil my valuable time by playing this game continuously. I only play when I really need some mind diversion and I don't get provoked by defeat and victories in the game. Now the situation is kind of stable so I don't mind playing the game now. 

Other games

I have tried playing some of the other games in my mobile. I used to spend lots of time playing many strategy games in my mobile but I have gradually lost interest towards mobile games. I even tried playing pubg in my mobile but I stopped playing it because it is no way near Dota 2 in giving me the fun that I have right now. Once upon a time I used to enjoy a lot playing Age of Empires, Diablo and Hidden and Dangerous game in my pc. Today I get the same feeling when I play Dota 2 in my laptop. 

Time I spend on games

I nearly spend around 1 to 2 hours every day playing games in my laptop. For now it is only dota 2 game. It used to be lots of other games earlier. I even used to play games in my mobile during my office break timings. But I have stopped playing like that. I just allocate some time of my day to play dota 2 game. That's all and I make sure my productivity is not affected because of playing games.
