Whether you’re at school, college or work – stress is inevitable. This is an unarguable reality, and can be detrimental to your health. How can it affect your wellbeing, you ask? Anxiety alone is identified as a cause of ‘obsessive-compulsive disorder’ (OCD). Setting aside the scientific jargon, allow me to show you how online games can help you.

You may find yourself overwhelmed with assignments at some point, or unprepared for an upcoming exam or test. You may be in a hectic situation at your job, but in desperate need for that bonus or promotion. At times such as these, the ideal resort may not be to intensify the workload, but rather take a momentary break. The key to your productivity is the time-span of your breaks. Your perfect choice, in such a situation, may just be online games!

Your second question now arises – why online games? First and foremost, they don’t consume a significant amount of your time. With a few clicks, you could be playing an online game within seconds – far better than scavenging for an open coffee shop especially after midnights. An excess of caffeine, while effective upon consumption, will lead to you being worn out in the hours that follow. On the other hand, resorting to an instant messenger or a social-networking website may stretch for longer than you anticipated. Secondly, online games give your mind a much needed break from work, while preventing it from going into a complete shutdown. As such, online games at Arcade Temple will divert any thoughts of you being exhausted or even sleepy. Better yet, online games may quite plausibly revitalize you, making you far more productive when you return to the task at hand.  Read more...

Online games refer to video games that are played over some form of computer network, most commonly the Internet. The expansion of online gaming has reflected the overall expansion of computer networks from small local networks to the Internet and the growth of Internet access itself. Online games can range from simple text based games to games incorporating complex graphics and virtual worlds populated by many players simultaneously. Many online games have associated online communities, making online games a form of social activity beyond single player games.

Early online games

Online games started in the 1980s with MUDs, simple multiplayer text-based games, often played on a BBS using a modem. These games were frequently based on fantasy settings, using rules similar to those in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Other styles of games, such as chess, Scrabble clones, and other board games were available.

Browser games

As the World Wide Web developed and browsers became more sophisticated, people started creating browser games that used a web browser as a client. Simple single player games were made that could be played using a web browser via HTML and HTML scripting technologies (most commonly JavaScript, ASP, PHP, and MySQL). More complicated games would contact a web server to allow a multiplayer gaming environment.

Most of us are old enough to remember when the Commodore 64 first came out followed by the Atari system. The initial reaction to these systems was sheer amazement as we played with our pixels for hours upon hours. Soon we learned how to beat the Artificial Intelligence and the games replay value suffered greatly.

So why do video games become boring or outdated? Obviously a huge factor is technology and graphics, but a stronger component is competition and the ability to adapt. Single player games do not offer the ability to adapt; the artificial intelligence today doesn’t allow for complex strategies or maneuvers to be utilized, but we know who can – Humans! Yes, there is nothing like outthinking, outmaneuvering, besting, owning, fragging, or whatever you want to do, to another living, breathing, frustrated human being.

When you get that kill shot on a computer you know they don’t get emotional, but when you take out a live opponent, you know he/she is slamming their keyboard and possibly ripping out their cable modem (Stracraft comes to mind for this). It is not the mere act of succeeding but rather how hard the success was to obtain. Even killing “newbs” (new players) after a while gets old as you need more of a challenge; you need someone that is adept at thinking on the spot and maneuvering in such ways that the computer or a newb could never achieve. You have now reached a new level of your gaming ability and the only way to grow further as a player is to play the best.  Read more...
