Darn You Facebook Games!

hahahah!! You read my mind, man. Facebook games are the devil. They’re way too addicting, too! I have to get work done, not play games all day. I’ve lost probably 100s of purely good working hours this year to those stupid games, especially the mindjolt pool.

LOL I love playing FaceBook games.. they are very addicting.. But what i do is actually turn off the status so the game does not show any updates from me whenever i level up or do anything there. And yes great that you also indicated the hide instructions! cool! Thank you for sharing, fun read!!

[Reply]

Am I wrong, or doesn’t clicking hide next to someone’s game updates then hide everything frm them? So you don’t then see status updates or anything else from them again? I don’t necessarily want that…

Todd/Misty – haha, I actually love and hate the facebook games. Too addicting and time consuming. I also wish there was a way to play them and not update everyone about it!

gurukarm – You should have the choice to hide just updates from a particular game.

I am pretty new to Facebook and yes all the Farmville
and other game updates are..well I find them funny. What
really gets to me is when someone wants you to adopt some poor sheep or some other animal…I really feel sorry for
these critters but not sure what it takes to care for them.
Not sure I would have the time to nurture another animal
let alone build a farm..always give congrats to those who have sold a bumper crop of very descriptive vegetables..
Funny stuff! Great post! Thanks!

I’m addicted to the word games, Bejeweled, and Pet Society!

[Reply]

my addiction is farmville, fishville, bejeweled and scrabble….

I’ve never played a Facebook Game, and really get annoyed with the constant stream of updates I get from other people. But, even in this post and the comments, I see that I’m in the minority of people who truly LOATHE Facebook games.

LMAO! Good read Christian. Does that mean you will not be
my neighbor in Farmville? I only need 3 more to get my next ribbon. =)
It is good you provided instructions for people who want to block games and updates and its even better that FB allows you to do that.
P.S.
You only hate Bejeweled because I kick your ass at it!

I used to sign up for every single game my friends invited me to….then I actually got addicted to some of them (rassafrackin Farmville eating up all of my time grumble) and found myself actually getting up at 5am like a REAL farmer to check VIRTUAL crops. That was it for me. Most of my friends would get mad because even though I sent out the gifts, etc. that go along with the games I didn’t participate in the status update clogging other stuff which is a big part of getting “extras” for whatever game you are playing. I agree, though. As much as I do love my friends and some of the FB games, I am really getting tired of the constant posts.

The hide option is gone from my option. All I can do now is hide the person.

Hey Christian!

I’ve heard that Facebook, will post all Application Updates and Posts and Invites and Notifications in a new Inbox…. so not anymore in the feed….
i think they have noticed the there are many people, who doesn’t like their wall spammed by app-games. so i think this new thing will start between december and january….

so look forward to it
best wishes anton

I was right there with you till the end…then the comment about rank dropping in Bejeweled Blitz. I now feel a much closer bond to you! Hehe…

It drives me nuts to see the updates from the FB games and I usually hide the user’s updates…unless it’s my kids. Then I have that competitive, you-can’t-beat-me-I’m-your-Mom urge to kick some 17 & under bootie on Bejeweled.

I too wonder how anyone gets work done or if they even care to. Temptation is overwhelming and 20 games is history before you realize what you’ve done. FB games are just plain evil.

I hate Facebook games & most applications that want access to all of my friends’ personal information. They are annoying & invasive. I’d rather actually (gasp!) communicate than play online games. What a way to waste hours of your life.

my girlfriend is ignoring me whe she’s playing restorant city … I Hate that!!! ¬¬

[Reply]

Have you seen the Farmville Ad Parody on You Tube? Classic.

Personally, I admit to playing restaurant city.

I have no idea why but I am always amazed at how other people have built up those crazy restaurants! That is HOURS of play time!!! It tells you a lot about your friends. LOL
