The winning essay
by eQ Shiv
Gaming has enabled me to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and spend 10 hours a day, everyday, staring at a screen in a dark room.
My addiction to gaming started early, one of my oldest and fondest memories is sitting behind Dad as he battled bats and demons in a fantastical underground dungeon. I was barely old enough to understand what was going on beyond the pretty colours and explosions but that didn't matter. I wasnt even playing, that didn't matter either. it was like watching the best movie ever and someone in the audience is in control, you can give them input and react to the enviroment with them. It was my faveourite part of the day, Dad would explain things in the game to me and I would point out that a bat is hitting him and he really ought to wack it back before his mighty character topples.
