Pointless Game Addictions
30DBC - 5th Jan - Prompt: Facebook games: waste of time, occasionally necessary distraction, or borderline obsession? Why or why not? And have you or would you ever spend money on in-game purchases specific to the game itself?

*FacePalm* Oh good god *FacePalm*

Games! I'm highly competitive and I have an highly addictive personality. In a perfect world, I should NOT be allowed to play games, of any kind, ever. This is why, when I run games like Pointless on here, I really struggle not to help the teams out.

I don't really play Facebook games anymore (this doesn't mean I don't play games). Sometimes I get invites and have a quick go, but I don't tend to stick with them. However...

When I was studying for my first degree, I had to download something (I forget it's name) so I could block myself from certain website addresses for a specific number of hours at a time. If I hadn't, I probably would've never finished my dissertation. I'm pretty sure I also got my boyfriend, at the time, change my password every now and again, too.



I would love to say I've grown up and got over my shitty game obsession. However, that'd be a lie.

I've spent the last three weeks playing Cookie Collector 2... constantly. About a week ago, I thought I had hit the point of boredom, but it seems I didn't. Then Chris asked to have a go - I was trying to be nice to his soul by saying no. But the next thing I knew, the silly fool had downloaded it on to his own phone. Now he's hooked. Now we're both hooked. Hooked on a stupid, 100% pointless game.



So, yes, I'm a sucker for shitty pointless games - not necessarily Facebook shitty games - but I'm a sucker nonetheless.

Have I paid real money for shitty pointless games? *FacePalm* What do you reckon?
