About the most gaming I'm doing these days is Lego Batman with my daughter and designing a Little Big Planet for her. I can't see spending an hour or so a day sowing rows of corn and loading wagons (or whatever the hell it is you do). It has been said, though, despite my dislike of it, social gaming is to be something gaming companies are going to be paying far more attention to, though the way to make money off it is still a bit cloudy.
Maybe someday I'll engage in some wars with Mafia or vampire types. Until then, though, I'm staying off the fucking farm.
1. you can create something pretty in a f**king ugly world.
ReplyDelete2. it requires little to no brain power whatsoever.
3. i have connected with people at work who i would have not otherwise connected with. (so far, this has not been something i regret).
4. it's like any other game one might become addicted to. there's really nothing to get. they're all ridiculous and time consuming. and i love every last minute of it. it calms me down, takes me away from the thinking about stupid crap that happens at work. i've fallen asleep with the mouse in my hand...tending someone else's farm. soooooo, i can smoke dope, get drunk, or farm. i choose to farm.
... unless you have a dope/moonshine farm! That would rule.
