Hold on, let me feed my ‘virtual’ fish first. Bloody Facebook flash games, they really do sap the life out of you don’t they? By show of hands, how many people here have succumbed to the deadly lure of these child-like time-sucking flash games? God, their actually so bloody repetitive, feed this school of fish, water those flowers and feed apples to that ugly pink rabbit… But their also so damn fun, now why is that?
Before I answer, I need to harvest 250 patches of pumpkins so I can go to the ‘virtual’ market and sell them so I can buy ‘virtual’ seeds for another 250 patches of corn… Maybe it’s just a way for us to get away from work and procrastinate. Maybe it’s just that we’re so reluctant to do actual work that deep in our subconscious minds, we force ourselves to play and enjoy these damn flash games. I’ve heard of people skipping class so that they can fertilize their ‘virtual’ farms or serve their ‘virtual’ meals before they go bad. What the hell? The reason behind this still eludes me…
The fact that new flash games are now appearing like bloody fat people at a free food fair is not exactly helping us curb the habit. Now we can spend more of our time watering this and feeding that. Plus, people actually PAY to play these games. Hey, I’ll spend $30 so that my ‘virtual’ fish in my ‘virtual' tank can grow faster and oh, let me add another $15 to get that special, glowing, awesome and not to mention ‘virtual’ fish to make my ‘virtual’ tank that much more special…
I honestly don’t understand why people play these games. Oh wait, I gotta go collect the profits from those contracts I signed 6 hours ago before they expire. So, until next time, play hard! Ooh, there’s a big sale on ‘virtual’ pet houses going on right now.
PS: For all those people who raised their hands earlier, here's some help. Don’t forget to thank me when I help prevent you from neglecting your baby.
