I have a new addiction. Well, actually it’s more of a recurring old one. Tiny in-browser flash games are more addictive than cocaine, I swear. Not that I’ve tried it or anything, but I can’t imagine anything more addictive than these things. The reason for my most current recursion is that I’ve joined Facebook. For a long time I avoided that thing like the plague, I used to have principles, but now that I’ve joined I can’t get away! The flash games! They’re killing me! Bubble spinner is an awesome game. There’s no story, there’s no way of winning, the only purpose is to shoot loose as many balloons as possible, preferably more than your friends. The simplicity is beautiful, and the effect marvelous.
Due to my self enforced celibacy I am quite incapable of competing with my friends yet, some of them must be cheating! But I’ll get there! Am I not gamer? Another game that I might easily become addicted to is that Tri-Tower Solitaire thing, but I used to game that on my old Win 3.11 box, so at least there I have a fighting chance.
So what I’m getting at here is really that no matter how sophisticated the company, and its means, large scale video games will never be able to compete with the addictiveness of in-browser flash games.
What’s your flash-game?
