Casual game addiction

Everyone has been addicted to some game at some time. Or at least most people. For me it was that annoying helicopter game in grade 10, and various others over the past few years.

But the quality of games that come built into our phones and BBs has put casual games litrally at our finger tips.

No more do we have to log onto our computers to 'zonk out' with a casual game. Now its a simple matter of flipping open your phone, wheeling through your BB menu....and presto - casual games at your fingertips (pun intended).

This has pushed casual games into new areas of our daily lives.

Many of my friends cannot go to sleep without a 'quick' round of brick breaker, that often lasts longer than they planned. I know I often play Ms. PacMan on my phone when i cant fall asleep, and subsequintly have started playing that game TO fall asleep.

See how casual games and new technology force us to adapt. No longer do people carry a book on bus rides, but instead bust out their phone and rotate between gaming and texting like they will have there fingers cut of upon their destination.

Iv writen enough about this, im going to go grab my phone not to call or txt someone - but to play games.
Cheers,
Nico

RE: conflicting schedules.

I totally understand what you mean with conflicting schedules - especially for people who are SpCom students. The sheer amount of group work is pretty crazy at times. I worked it out and if you are in 4 groups (like many of us are) and you meet once a week like we are supposed too....it adds about 6 hours into our school week. Thats 2 extra courses.
