Damn you social gaming!!
 

So... my GF is playing one of those "Happy Farm" thingies in one of these Social Networking Pages... and at one point she paid real cash for content (she wanted the Peacock....). At that point i decided to try and nudge her a little bit towards Facebook. Being as it seems to be the biggest one around, and also because there she couldn't pay for content (no International Credit Card) nor addict to much on the games (her English is not very good).

... then something happened.

I pushed her to this "Cafe World" game, where she puts together a Diner... and she loved. Then she asked me to play with her... now, i steer clear of these time wasters, but she really wanted me to play with her...

...today i just noticed that i'm level 9 and have a Dungeon Theme going on in My Diner. Then i noticed that i'm Level 5 in this Card Game called Warstorm because it's a good way to fill the time gap while i wait my pot roast to get done. And i have this Poison / Shock deck going on that is really effective unless i'm up against Flying and Archers.....

When did this happen?!

So, did any of you have fallen to the siren song of these Social Games?

Also... anyone want to be my Neighbor in Cafe World? Or my Ally in Warstorm?

....dear god.

*KA-CHOCK*

I'm sorry, Yeller, but this is the only way! T_T



Yeah, really don't see the point or allure in these things, but my brother is on a buttload of them. And then he rags on me for my new Twitter that I barely use.

Friends and family are all ADDICTED to this shit. Can't be bothered to play any of it myself... I don't have enough time for an MMO, let alone keeping up with some facsimile of one.

I'm too busy playing real vidya gaems.

I gotta confess, I made a Facebook solely to play these games and they're actually quite fun. Although paying real money for anything on the Internet is a big no-no for me, a lot of them are quite addicting, and even well crafted(Restaurant City and Crazy Planets come to mind).

It's sorta like a Newgrounds, 'cept people can bug you(A lot) about them.

My brother plays "My Bimbo". Once he asked me whether that belt goes well with his skirt. Yesterday I told my parents. I don't know what they're gonna do now.

Real games are exponentially better.
 

Does this sword clash with this armour?
 

I wonder how many people posting in this thread have paid subscription fees for MMOs.

Hey Bells? I have three friends crazy about said Happy Farm game. One of them used R$80 on it ( ~US$44 ) but doesn't know how to properly do everything.

Also, one of them is using a macro.

For a browser-based game where you keep a farm.

If I wanted to virtual farm, Harvest Moon does it so much better.

Alas, my brothers! Today we lost a valuable comrade to the ongoing scourge of casual gaming. Except I don't think anyone really liked him. Regardless, be not discouraged by his loss, but honor his sacrifice by giving it your all in our fight against this plague.
