i've seen lots of updates from FarmVille in my notifications page. lots of my friends are actually playing this game on FB. i wonder why they find this game interesting. i dunno if it's because they find it a glorious way to pass the time, or if they really have nothing better to do, or because it really is addictive, only that i just don't get it. lol. i remember that stupid McD game where you had to run a fast food chain restaurant, which includes rearing the cows, planting crops, and keeping the investors happy. the cows usually end up being infected with mad cow disease. the investors will eventually get involved with corruption. and the employees will get mad and start spitting into the beef patties. i end up running the business into the ground, haha.
i used to be a (fluff)Friends addict last year. but it got really irritating since you had to pay in order to get the good stuff. that's so unfair. at the moment my pet Tofu is left abandoned =P. and no, my blue Uniko is still not for sale.
during those days when FB was emerging as a favorite among my colleagues, Fighter's Club was the one of the applications that you had to have on your profile. fighting and losing was a norm. the more powerful your backer, the higher the chance you had at winning. wah jei used to get into a bunch of fights in one go just to increase his fighter rating to the highest level. this application hype died down too, eventually =P. i think the best part of FB is its applications. friendster slowly got abandoned, although i still know some friends who still update friendster. then twitter emerged. i never signed up for this though. i have enough accounts to keep track of already.
anyway, for the fun of it, i decided to give FarmVille a go. who knows how long i'll be interested in this. heck, i might even get addicted (i am soOoO easy to be influenced). so i planted a few things, helped out at other people's farms... here's a snapshot of me on my farm i created yesterday:
farming attempt part One
note the small signpost in the middle of my farm. Alpha left that for me. lol. the crops behind me are squash =P.
see the wilting crops? i forgot the strawberries needs to be harvest in four hours, so when i checked back the next morning, they were all dead. haha. some of the other crops take longer to harvest, like the eggplant (2 days) or the soybeans (1 day). it's all about timing! i think the creators of FarmVille are smart in the sense that the different harvest timing will make sure people will come back if they don't want their crops to spoil =D. anyway, i don't have enough money to buy additions to my farm yet. i've seen some of the other farms on FarmVille. sungguh creative ok. apparently they've raised enough money to buy more junk to chuck onto their farms, hahaha. i have yet to get the hang of this game.
Nesh has been pestering me to try Barn Buddy. is there a difference? you know what, they say that babies born with two pusars on their head means they would grow up to be great farmers (or pengembala kerbau, being the exact word). is any part of that true? my Dayana was born with two pusars on her head. hahahahahah. i was hoping for a Doctor in the family. but farmer? hmmm (and you don't often hear children going around exclaiming "when i grow up, i want to be a farmer!" lol).
anyhoo, here's a quick joke (in my own words, i forgot how the actual joke went):
a husband got into an argument with his wife and refused to talk to each other as they were driving along the countryside.
as they passed a bunch of cows along the way, the husband turned to the wife and asked sarcastically, "relatives of yours?"
the wife simply replied, "yeah, in-laws."
'scuse me. i gotta go harvest some strawberries.
