This is what happens when you get really addicted to games.
 * 1) Gaming helps take your mind off of subjects you don't want to think about.

Some people also want to beat the high score, which is one of the most easily recognized hooks. If someone gets a high score, people would feel challenged to try and beat it. Most games are also made for trying to beat the game. This results in leveling up or finding the next hidden clue. Role-playing games are also another hook. Not only does the player get to go on adventures, but the player gets to create a character and an emotional attachment is connected with the character, so it makes it harder to stop playing. The thrill of discovering new places in games such as World of Warcraft or Minecraft can be extremely compelling. Some gamers build relationships with other gamers. For some players, the online community is where the player is mostly accepted, which draws them back to playing. Another hook is Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). This is because these types of games have no ending. Video-game-addiction.org says "Another consideration is that some people are more prone to addiction of any kind than others, gaming or otherwise. Kids who are easily bored, have poor relationships with family members, feel like outcasts at school, or tend toward sensation-seeking are more easily drawn into video game addiction because it fills a void and satisfies needs that aren't met elsewhere." Kids and adults stay glued to games because the fun of playing is rooted to their psychological needs. Here's a video to explain how that works. media type="youtube" key="YDomMj1DmGo" height="315" width="560"media type="youtube" key="1K2IQLSj6r8" height="315" width="420"
