I Would Never Have Thought

My boys love playing video games on the TV and computer.

I have tried it a few times, and I really must say I was bored to pieces and could see no point to it.

I did accomplish quite a few races in the Gran Turismo ones a few years back, but that was all it ever amounted to for me.

Not a big fan of video games is what I thought.

Well, I would have never guessed it, but I have become quite addicted to a computer game on facebook.

It is the Enchanted Gardens game where you build gardens with different backgrounds.

It is not a real “thinking” kind of game, and you spend time visiting other players gardens to rack up “cash” to spend in the “store” to buy your plants and decorations.

You find treasures along the way, and when you gain many neighbors, you can move up the levels quicker as your precious “acorns” add up.

Some players have a real knack for creating beautiful “gardens”.

And of course many of the plants and decorations come and go quickly in the store, so you really need to “earn cash” to get them before they disappear.

I have become a sucker for a computer game, but not a sucker enough to actually pay out cash to use it.

Playing it for free is the only way to go, but man, it sure is a big time sucker and a lot of fun!

    Real life beats virtual life any time. I agree computer games are boring, perhaps it’s my age but I don’t feel that it achieves anything.
