Why Gaming is So Popular

By Celeste Burris


It's normal for online gaming beginners to feel a bit overwhelmed because it all looks so daunting. It's easy to get the impression that everybody else knows infinitely more than you, plus they may not be welcoming to the new guy, or girl.

It's frustrating when you're staring at a learning curve that's a straight vertical line. Seems no one wants to be bothered to play with the rank newb. When people get tired of you asking and decide to let you play, then the next hurdle is staying with the pace and not embarrassing yourself. If you're left-handed, oh man, and maybe you need left-handed controls or a mouse - that would even be better. In this article we will discuss some of the tips and tricks you can use to have more fun as an online gamer.

Have the right equipment. In the strictest sense, that mainly applies to those who are more serious about gaming. Change the mouse button functions, and that will do the trick. If you know what MMORPG games are, (WOW and EverQuest, for example), then making the small investment in a nice mouse designed for left-handed people would be advisable. But do you want to perform at your best? If you do, then think about that left-handed mouse because it will make a difference in many situations. Just do some shopping around, make a day of it - inexpensive left mice that will get the job done aren't tough to find. You will benefit from alot of practice. It takes time to master some of the skills that are needed to be a valuable member of your team. Do not expect to be able to master the game on your first day. Using your left handed mouse for example could take an adjustment. Just like any other sport it will take work for you to become good at it. Practicing will soon make you feel like a better gamer. You will have more fun as you learn to play the games efficiently.

Just try not to be like the Terminator when you're gaming. People will have a bit more respect if you can adopt a more humble approach when playing. If you can do something a lot better than someone else, be cool about it and don't bust their stones. Don't get upset when you lose, and it's normal for everyone to lose to someone. Be straight and even about it, tell them you enjoyed the game, congratulations, and thank them. Work to get better by identifying why you lost, and then try to improve. In time people will grow to like you there, and it'll be a good thing.

Having goals makes it easier to improve your gaming. Work on leveling up your character. You should strive at collecting as many valuables as you can in these games, such as trinkets, gold, rewards or whatever is awarded. It is good to have a goal to work toward when you play games online. This helps keep the game interesting and makes playing more fun. Gaming is more enjoyable when you feel like you are making progress. Face it, just running around haphazardly isn't any fun. You'll have more fun if you discover precious treasures and go on dangerous quests.

Online games are designed and intended to be fun for all. If you let things go too far, then your ability to enjoy it will go down.

More importantly, if you act like a brat, the other people in your game won't have any fun either and nobody will want to play anymore. It's more important to have fun and help the team than having a left-handed mouse (if you need one). Gaming in about fun, not the left-handed mouse affair.
