some stupid person is playing farmville next to me in the university computer lab… the incessant clicking is completely unnecessary let alone rude and distracting. someone should kick u out… but youre fat so u probably have something to prove which is why ill just bitch about it on an anonymous internet forum instead of inciting a confrontation.
—fuck this

Just wait until they put Civilization on there. People who don’t play Facebook games will be playing Facebook games.
OH Crap, you just reminded me, I’ve gotta harvest my crops…I’m saving up for that new barn!
Civilization is the shit.
I prefer Cafe World. I get invites for Farmville all the time but I really only have time for one useless game. I am first amongst my neighbors…… anyone else play??
Civilization? Farmville? WTF. Get a life people.
Ok sebastion. We’ll get right on that. Perhaps we should look to you as an example?
you hiring there jonno?
I know an urban planner who would run your virtual restaurant for you so you could focus on LTWWB full time…
oh, and do you source your virtual produce from local facebook farms that don’t use digital pesticides?
i don’t care where they come from, as long as I make as much cafe bucks as possible!
sorry- as MANY cafe bucks as possible. *phew*… would have been slammed over that one if anyone was even interested in this bitch in the first place.
By the way- this bitch sucks.
I could be worse really, it could be some guy playing MW 2 rage quitting after getting killed by an M203 an inordinate amount of times.
you mean this kid?

JUST MAYBE THAT PERSON IS REALLY ONE OF THE CLAMPETTS. too bad not ellie may tho.
I used to LOOOOVVVE Sim City. One of the reasons I did what I did in school, really. What Sim City doesn’t tell you is how hard it is to get a job being a “Sim Cityist” in Halifax.
My mom plays Farmville and is looking for neighbours. Anyone interested?
why does what you’re neighbor is doing on their computer in the lab distracting to you, OP? Maybe you should keep your eyes on your own monitor and perhaps crank your headphones a little higher?
What the fuck is farmville. I’ve never come near that shit in my life.
stay away dino…its some other virtual life game thats all i know ’cause i don’t want to get sucked into any more vortexes
fuck…I agree with Kay….amazing…
i play airport mania in the nude and bike champ with ladies’ underwear on.
i’m a “flash” game coaster.
If you “play” one of these silly games any more than an hour or two a day…TOPS, and AT ALL during the summer months (when the weather is fine)…IMO you have a problem.
Time will tell that “addiction” to mindless childish games where you stare at a screen and “shoot” the enemie, join the ‘mafia’, or pretend to play a guitar is the new idiot box of the 21st century.
The only reason you even need this virtual life is because you fell for the myth nd drank the koolaid…you did everything that society required of you, didn’t you? You got as much edu-mi-cation as you could stand, went out and got a nice job with a steady pay-cheque, spent your money on a new car every few years, maybe a house with a ridiculously and artificially inflated price, went to Cancun or Cuba you could “see the world”…did everything you were supposed to do “drugs and late nights are baaad, church and a clean cut suit are goood…and now, you’re hitting middle age or later, and you realize that it’s too late for an exciting life, too late to take those risks….you traded it all for a cubicle and a meager stock portfolio and some rrsp, just like you were told…
What happened to that Canadian Dream anyway?…work hard, pay taxes, do what your told, defend the indefensible your whole life, join the property ladder, never grumble, don’t rock the boat…and now where are you? Sitting at a desk staring at your new 21 inch monitor, playing sheep farm and ralling against young people having a party in a cement bunker!
Sad.
You don’t speak for all of Canada, Frosty. So what If people while their lives away playing a fantasy game? It’s their right. To some, a stable home, job, RSP, travel to Cuba, etc. is their idea of a good time. Who are you to judge them on that?
very well put bmf…and this is why us norms hang out here ^^
Depending on which university it is, said person can be asked to stop playing games if the labs are 75% full. If it’s MSVU no chance. I’m not sure about DAL’s policy, but at SMU if the labs are full it’s only academic work permitted (and I DOUBT farmville is academic work :P)
If you’re at smu, find a lab assistant and let them know what’s going on if the labs are fuller and they’re playing games.
you know something, i read on msn home page the other day.that farmville game is the most played game on facebook, and possibly the world.just facebook alone has almost 74 million fucking people playing. wow,i have to check that fucking game out now for sure. maybe get a few honies for neighbors and plow them a bit on the side.
Fat must mean that they could kick your ass, OP.
You can’t plow your neighbours, LS, but you can fertilize their crops or soil. (-;
you can plow your neighbors
and you can plow your friends…
but good luck plowing your neighbor’s friends.
Sorry, I was too busy playing CAFEWORLD to read this whole thing – can someone summarize?
LOL zZz…
hysterical
i tried out that game, and it is fucking habit forming, trying to outdo your neighbors. it is not too bad at all, and if it keeps the little mother fucking hoodlums off the street. then we should be all for it. depending on how many people you know, this could be the biggest played game in years.it‘s not a hard game to get into people.
“‘So what If people while their lives away playing a fantasy game””
Because it’s addictive, and unlike certain mind-expanding frugs, causes the user to produce NOTHING whatsoever of value, lol.
If people choose to “while” away their lives staring at a blank wall, drooling and smearing themselves with faeces, that’s their ‘right” too, Dr. Fever…but that doesn’t mean I gotta like it and give them a pat on the head, does it?
Who am “I” to criticise the wealth-building “machine” of the moneyed dynasties that brainwash and convince everyone that if they just “work hard, pay their taxes and follow the laws we set out, you’ll achieve ‘success'”?
I’m someone that almost fell for the myth of the “american dream” himself and then at the least minute before he was indoctrinated – saw the truth…that many people spend their entire lives working too hard, just to make OTHER people wealthy…
There’s a whole other world out there, and if I want to prosylitize about it, who are you to stop me, Dr Fever (if that IS your real name!)?
Lol. I bet you’re someone who, like a parasite, benefits from the whole myth of working our entire lives just to pay for a “house”, a peice of shelter, aren’t you? Are you in banking? Real estate? Which one?
nothing like a mind-expanding ‘frug’…it comes from poisonous frogs…
😉
Honestly Frosty, you’re one hackneyed phrase from saving us from Big Brother, aren’t you?
First of all, I’m not arrogant enough to think that I’m better than the system. I work within it, and do the best that I can. There’s merit in that. If I do nothing more than eat, sleep and get lazy, who are you to judge? You still haven’t answered that question effectively; you’ve danced around it.
Secondly, what is considered “success” is a concept that is open to debate. Your version of success is entirely different than mine. I don’t judge you for that, and honestly, because you judge people for that reason is my source of contention. You’re not on some other level of consciousness because you “broke the system”.
Know what? I don’t care if I make others wealthy. In fact, I’m a banker, so indeed, that’s my job. If you feel that makes me a parasite, so be it. I’ll introduce you to some clients who I’ve helped change their lives.
