Recently, I ‘ve been really addicted to an online game called The Honor of the King, which was recommended by my colleague last Tuesday. Before, I didn’t play those online games,  because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control myself and would waste a lot of time. Just as I predicted, I have played it for over five hours a day, on average, and didn’t want to other things. A good thing is that yesterday evening I suddenly felt it was not fun anymore, just doing the same things again and again, while trying to kill other characters.
