Gone are the days when a game was considered as a mere means of relaxation or entertainment. Today it has progressed unparalleled by the world’s major religions, with a large global fan base. In addition to gaming and cosplay conventions, these games have now moved on to offer regular sequels, different game platforms, and UIs.
But to become a glorified gamer and join any of the gaming fans, you must understand and accept the commandments of the gaming world, unconditionally. Whether it’s the latest PC or console games, here are some gaming commandments to keep in mind to usher in the new era of peace and prosperity in gaming.
You will need to be careful with your plugs and cables: As a player or spectator, you have to keep an eye on all the errant plugs and cables. Avoid stepping on or tripping over these items as they will not only be connected to the system but will also disrupt any game in progress. They can even lead to the destruction of gaming equipment, which is nothing short of any gamer’s worst nightmare. For example, the Red Ring of Death commonly found on Xbox consoles.
You will not save on another’s game: Be it video games or even Android games, you never save over someone else’s gaming profile. Players have been known to expend blood, sweat, and tears completing quests, side quests, and acquiring rare and legendary weapons and items. A simple save over another profile instead of a new one leads to nothing but callous and cruel heartache for any player.
You must stop a game session at the ‘following’ checkpoint: Once you start any game, especially the latest PC or console games, it would be hard to stop playing it. The only acceptable step here is to stop playing at the next checkpoint. If you reach the aforementioned checkpoint, you must stick to that checkpoint only, and not the next one.
You will need to keep all distractions away while you play: Be it PC video games or even Android games, one distraction will cost you not only your concentration but also the life of your virtual character. Put your mobile on silent, keep food and drinks close at hand and connect your headphones.
You will go rogue at least once: After all, all rules are meant to be broken at least once. However, this is mostly applicable in certain cases, like multiplayer games where your teammates are nothing short of annoying ‘rookies’. Cut them up and cut them all up so they know they can’t take your patience for granted. However, you risk getting banned, so be careful.
Last but not least, you will not cheat… blatantly: All players use cheats, at some point in their lives. However, stick to your PC or console games, and never cheat during online gaming sessions, at least you’re ready to get banned for life or live with the embarrassment of getting caught.
