Addiction # 2 - Pogo.com

About a year ago I was bored on a lunch break and stumbled upon an awesome website.

The website is pogo.com - it's a website with thousands of games (some only exclusive to Pogo) and tons of cool features.

There are two options with pogo.com:

You can either play for free (and have the hassle of advertisements interupting your game every so often)

Or, you can pay a yearly membership fee and have exclusive gaming time on pogo, as well as member only perks.


Some fun features of pogo.com are the mini characters you can create to suit your own style - you use the tokens you win in games to purchase these items from the Mini Mall; you can be anything from a scuba diver to dress up as your favorite halloween character.

Also, every week there are weekly "badges" you can earn by doing various tasks in certain games to win the weekly prize.

Each badge is usually accompanied by 2000-5000 bonus tokens.

Some recommended games are: Phlinx, Pogo Addiction Solitaire, Poppit and Scrabble.

If you have friends that you know who use the game site as well, you can add them to your friends list so you know what game room they are in and you can join the same game room.

Although this addiction makes me look a little nerdy, it's all in good fun when you're bored on a rainy Wednesday and have nothing else to do!

Addiction #1 - FARMVILLE

So we all know how highly addicting Facebook is.

An example of it's addiction is when I go to use the computer and not even thinking I type in facebook.com into internet explorer!

This is where Farmville adds to the addiction factor!!

Farmville is an application you can load onto your Facebook page.

• When you first log on, you're given a plot of land and 20,000 coins to start your farm off!

• Use your coins to plow the land, and make the soil ready to plant seeds!
  
• Plant the seeds of your choice!
  
• The more you plant & harvest - the more experience you gain! Unlocking awesome items.
  
• Check back often! Because crops have a determined growing time - if you don't harvest them in time, they will wither and die!!!

• You also have animals (what kind of farm would it be without animals!) which you can buy or be gifted from your neighbours!
  
• Be kind and help your neighbours and you'll be rewarded with coins and experience!
  

OK, so now that you know the main objectives of this game, you are probably thinking.."what's so special about it..." I dare you to try it!

I rate this addicting game a 9 out of 10.

Don't let those crops go to waste :)!
