Hello everyone sorry that I am not ranting today. I found a new game to play "Angry Birds". I have never played the game until yesterday I have found that the game is very addictive and fun. This game falls under a category of games that are probably played by more people than all of the other platforms. This is social network games. There are many of them out there a lot of people play them. Unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of time to waste on them, only a little, so I pick and choose. When my wife first got on Facebook she started playing Farmville, so I thought that I would check it out and see whats what. I played it for a little while and eventually quit because well, there is not point to it. I like a game to tell a story, to draw me in, to entertain and challenge me somehow. Many of these games on Facebook just don't do it for me, I find myself getting bored with them pretty quickly. One thing that I do not understand is that a lot of these games have features that you can pay for to achieve some higher goal. Really people, really, I believe that the fish tank game, I don't remember the name of it, had where you could pay real money for digital fish. Really people, really, if i am going to pay money for a fish I want the option of putting it on a pizza or watching it swirl down to porcelain bowl after it shuffles off its mortal coil. I noticed on Angry Birds that there are several power ups that you can purchase with a debit or credit card. Now I am not upset that these company's are doing this they are just trying to make a buck. What gets me is that individuals today get so wrapped up in a game like Farmville that the will pay real money for digital seeds. I can take five dollars and go buy seeds to plant in a real garden grow some squash and eat it. If you are reading this blog and you are one of these individuals that have spent money on these trivial things please don't be upset with me about this blog it is just the way I see things. I would like to hear from your point of view about what benefits there are in doing so.
