And although there are computer and portable online versions of these, I find that I have trouble following through the games in such form. I don't play any competitive or cooperative online games at all because of this. I would very much love to have a game in real life but there's the issue of finding people to play with and time.Ravenblacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-75597944086277797722013-03-05T07:35:17.811+08:002013-03-05T07:35:17.811+08:00@ Ravenblack:

Thank yo...I enjoyed reading all your comments. :) <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts from this!<br /><br /><br />To me, as a gamer, games can be wonderful forms of interactive art and expression, but clearly some games are designed merely to hook, they do tend to be "free", but it's only because the makers of such games are confident that you would eventually pay real money to continue the experience when you've played it a while.Ravenblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408808375869234480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-79695131814799059492013-03-03T16:03:41.463+08:002013-03-03T16:03:41.463+08:00ha..they cost nothing, but they're not free......ha..they cost nothing, but they're not free...we have become such masters of time fillers...yeah..sometimes i'm missing those small spaces to just be and thinkClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-74938808553201065982013-03-03T15:38:01.015+08:002013-03-03T15:38:01.015+08:00...what fun to have everything free... games are s......what fun to have everything free... games are so addictive...what more if it's made for free...def non stop of addiction & killing time could be expected... the tap..tap...sound is really effective as i have those sounds on my phone's keypad while typing my comment.... tap..tap...tap...tap... smiles...kelvin s.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08116213800655914273noreply@blogger.com
