CHAPTER II
Materials & Methods In order to gather valuable data, the researchers conducted an oral interview with fellow gamers in a local computer shop (computer shop name disclosed). Oral interview was used since it is more applicable to the kind of problem being studied and because their eyes were glued to the screen at the moment of the questioning. The Oral interview was a five-item interview that deals with the student’s background and how gaming affected him/her academically. The questions asked are:
1. Who or How was computer gaming introduced to you?
2. How often do you play?
3. Does gaming affect your class standing?
4. For you, is gaming good or bad?
5. What genre of game do you prefer?

CHAPTER III
Results
A total of 5 students were interviewed on the 4th of April 2014, somewhere between the times of 13:00 to 15:00. The survey only lasted for not more than two minutes and the volunteers were very cooperative. The gathered date revealed that the first 3 of 5 interviewees were doing exceptionally well in school despite spending some 8 hours of gaming on a daily basis, where they favored a MOBA genre particularly LOL. The three of them were childhood friends and played together most of the time. Interviewee 4 is a scholar in a prestigious school (FEU-East Asia College). Despite admitting the she is a gaming addict; her habit never hindered her studies and managed to maintain an excellent streak of grades since her admission in the year 2012. She started playing games when her now ex-boyfriend introduced the MOBA game LOL. Interviewee 5 is an average person, with average grades, above passing; stating that for him, gaming was just a past-time, spending some 6-8 total hours of gaming, at home and in a computer shop. He favored the game Dragon Nest which is an MMO-RPG game. He started playing it because he found it curious and fun.

CHAPTER IV
Summary
(Summarize mo na lang)
Conclusion
We came to the conclusion that gaming addiction was mostly related to the influence of the number of players that play the game. Curiosity then mostly by invitation is how a player starts with a game. Addiction, we believe, arises from peer pressure, or in worst cases, withdrawal from society due to negative treatment from people.
