i waste my time doing this shit, so you don't have to
the other day i was going to say that the great thing about being friends with me is that i can help you play games like chuzzle, when you visit for the first time and need someone to show you the ropes.
but an even better reason to keep me around is that i can weed out the crap for you.
the other day, i found a couple of truly horrendous games on yahoo games. what you have to keep in mind is that i am actually too stupid to find most games, let alone play them. i wouldn't have ever made it to yahoo games, but other people were, so that was easy. and then, i decided to foray into games that i hadn't necessarily seen other people playing. well, this is further complicated by the fact that you have to pay for some of these games. and i refuse to. maybe that's why i'm only playing crappy games. i found a couple the other day that were so horrible, and this could be an entertaining story of why they were so horrible, except i can't remember and all i know is that i thought that if a game was so bad i thought it should never be played again, well that's when you know your game is bad.
and just now i have discovered "fish tycoon." i don't generally understand the point of video games where you do things. but i understand that other people like them and that makes enough sense to me, if you're going to play sports or build cities or whatever these things are that people do in these games i don't play. well, "fish tycoon" involves a concept i don't understand at all. you raise fish. you dump some eggs in the tank, then you have baby fish, and you feed them, and then you have to mate them (at all points prodded along by the little bubble that keeps popping up to tell you what to do. i understand the point of the bubble. no one will ever play this game twice. no one playing this game will ever know what to do.) anyways, then i guess you continue to raise and breed the fish and sell them and then you have money to go shop in some fish store. LAME-O! but my favorite was the little bubble that popped up and explained to me that this game takes place in real time. i will be raising fish in real time. how awful does that sound? come to think of it, i don't think there's any way that's true, but i turned it off so fast that maybe it was.
anyways, that game sucks. don't play it. also, don't refer to it as a game. refer to it as a "game." that seems far more appropriate. use a mocking tone, if possible.
