Hi, sorry I haven't been around! I'm still around, but just not really here around.
Well, I'm just going to be honest here. Ahem. I'm addicted to a space ship game called Eve Online. Yeeeeah, spending every waking moment with it.
The bad news is that it costs $15 a month to play. The good news is that the annual subscription can knock it down to more like $12 a month... and well, I don't think it's too costly since that is all I spend on personal luxuries. I've even canceled Netflix, which was $10 a month for me.
That said, I really doubt anyone here is interested in such a game, although if you are, let me know.
You know what what else I currently play though? Actually, my little girl is the one that loves to play it. She loves playing Farmville and all those similar farming games over Facebook, but I like it too. Not only is it visually pretty (to me), but it's also light and relaxing. Best of all, it's free!
Anybody else hooked on Farmville or similar games on Facebook?

nance: HEHEHEHEHE! You're quite right! Eve is effectively and completely destroyed any semblance of a social life, and it's even taking me away from other online activities as well.

My MIL plays Farmville and it's almost like she's ashamed of it. She'll tell me that she has to check on Farmville, and then immediately start justifying herself - it's one way her and her sister stay in touch. Fine, whatever - but why the guilty conscience and justification? She really DOES pay more attention to it than real stuff on FB. She didn't even notice some rather important family news I posted on there over the weekend. That's just sad.

I should be reading my books, if it wasn't for farmville I probably could read 5 a month. One day I will go back to the real world.

I don't know, it's just addictive. DF also plays Diablo, GTA4 and a host of others. I got slightly *cough* addicted to Sims on xbox for a while, about three years ago.

LuckyRobin: Yeah, I think my daughter likes that one better too (Farm Country I think), because what she likes all those animals.
Whitestripe: Do you mean the lengendary turn-based strategy gaming goodness that is Heroes of Might and Magic? Because if so, there is NO shame in that one! It's... amazing! I've actually played that since the FIRST version on a DOS box. My personal favorite is the second one, but the third is pretty good too. Chain lightning Air Elemental mastery = I win!
Wow, in fact, just thinking about it brings back up the game's background music in my head. Mmmm.

Those of you annoyed by the Farmville and other game updates on Facebook, just hover over the update on your news feed, and you'll see a button on the upper left of the update that says "Ignore." When you click that you can choose to either ignore the person or the app, so make sure to click the app (Ignore Farmville vs. Ignore Aunt Mary), and you'll never have to see an update from that game again! It's raised the quality of my Facebook enjoyment immensely.
