So not too long ago I got the Xbox 360, and with it I got a subscription to Xbox Live, which means I can play online games with my friends or random people and try to beat them at certain games. However, there is a problem, I suck. Not only do I suck, but I am extremely competitive, but aren't we all? No, not as much as me, and I am not video game nerd, but I have been playing video games for a long time, and when I get my ass handed to me on a plate in Halo I am pissed!
I like playing online poker as well, and I have been pretty successful with it, but not always. When I am on a losing streak, I stop playing for a while, even though it is hard because I know I can win it back just as easy, but there is something inside me that would be playing angry. So, I figured a couple days ago I would stop playing Halo because I let myself and my team down(I know I'm making this a pity story). But trying to stop was harder than trying to stop playing poker, which is unbelievable considering there is no money on the line.
So then this got me thinking and I tried to compare the two, video games and poker. Are video games more addicting than online poker? Well I guess it depends on the person you are. If you have been playing poker for a long time and you're good at it, and you go on a losing streak it is easier to stop. If you haven't been playing Halo and Madden and are trying to beat people who have been playing for a long time, it's hard to stop because you want to get better. I know one thing, if I was risking money every time I played Halo or Madden, I would have been done after day one.
