Virtual Reality Games

Anyone play/ever played these.....maybe the Sims or stuff of that ilk....or had a tamagotchi pet....or like me Farmville/farm town/yoville on facebook, of which i know there are a few SH'ers that do
why oh why do we get addicted.....why is my farm the first place i visit to harvest, plough and plant??
To relieve the chickens of their eggs, the ducks of their down and the cows and goats of milk is the last thing i do before i go to bed lol

why do i time the different plantings of different crops, to make sure Im here when they ripen and are ready for picking......and WHY do I get miffed if i miss a deadline and open my farm and find a crop withered to brown stumps??
what is it about them that makes us strive to look after our charges to the best of our ability....and why are we so sad as to do that :lol:
some of the others farms i visit are militarily planned and desigend, with trees of the same sort all in perfect lines, different spieces of animals in beautifully fenced off pens...mines a little haphazard....yet I still cant keep away....maybe I need serious help
maybe there should be therapy groups for those addicted to virtual worlds :lol:
anyone else have this strange affliction....or just want to come and mock the hell out of me...i have breaod shoulders....i can take it lmao rotflmao

I tried with Yo-ville - but it was just a fantasy world that I couldn't relate to and I spend far too much time on <koff koff> other sites to leave me spare time for that. I haven't tried the farm one, but if it's addictive, I'd best steer clear rolleyes

My cousin, bless her, when she lived with us, she got totally hooked on The Sims.
Trouble was, she then started playing me and the kids :shock: She would have us on a real tight bluddy schedule :shock:
She would have us all fed, watered, off to school/work, home, housework, homework, play, dinner, play, showered, jim-jammed and back in bed like a bluddy military operation :shock:
Never been so organised in my life than when we were RL Sims :lol2:

I think if I get another invite for Pirates,Mafia Wars,Farmville or the zoo thingey on facebook I might actually scream!!!..... and all the updates that come with them....
mind you... I play online poker so I suppose we all have to find something to occupy and stimulate the brain.... or I'd spend all my life on forums being addicted to them... oops!!!! wink

My other significant other only ever turns off WOW when I arrive. I don't even have to say anything... Quite flattering really lol

We had a particularly steamy session interrupted once by a poxy virtual pet which started Mewing VERY noisily at an innoportune moment. I still hate that frigging cat. evil

I can't get into virtuality on screen, it has to be said. However, several of my best mates are LARPers...and I'm itching to pluck up the courage to give it a go. Apparantly, I have a bit of a thing for costumes innocent

and the one thing I will blow my own trumpet for is my acting ability, so LARPing would suit me down to the ground.
It's just such a scary prospect! confused

brb my artichokes need harvesting on farmville
like you mrs b i too plan my planting around whether i'm gonna be in lol.
I went away for a weeks holday n had to make sure both farmtown n farmville were all harvested so nothing died....gave my daughter strict instructions to look after my animals n trees lol tried yoville but couldnt get my head round that one.
Perhaps i should get back to being a swinger instead of a farmer, any offers

I went on Second Life - it was crap.
The greatest excitment was registering in the first place. Once there it was - well, nothing. Just little cubes of lumpy space, where the very very few people there ignore you separated by acres of blankness you can't cross. Pointless.

I've tried my fair share of virtual reality games, played the first 2 sims and then got bored pretty quickly. Played second life and got bored of that too. I still occasionally dabble in the more adult side of VR games but there's only so much a ginormous pair of bouncing digital boobs can do for someone.
