...to resist this game called BOOKWORM, that Robert (aka 'the plague') mentioned a while ago. It looks simple - almost puerile or childish... but it's not, and so be warned: it's very addictive!
I know I live a quiet life, but I get very tense when there's a threat of burning drawing ever lower! I'm easily amused. And I amuse my kids easily too. I can't even watch them play those driving games in case they crash.
On my second attempt at Bookworm, I reached level 11 and scored 126,640 points. Better. On one memorable day a year ago, I scored over 350,000 points. Haven't played in a while and don't want to become re-addicted! If I should [become re-addicted], it's all your fault!
My name is Robert and I'm almost a Bookworm-aholic.
Robert - Ha! The analogy continues: The heady, intoxicating high as the score goes up and up, the chores undone, the abandoned families, the subsequent ashes of the ruin and degradation.
I haven't played this in a while, so am a bit rusty. I reached level 10 and scored 92,000+ points. Not too shabby, but not great.
ReplyDeleteI have wasted many happy hours on this since you recommended it Robert. Your score is good!
DeleteHmm. I managed to get to Librarian before I burnt down the bookshelf!

DeleteFirst time I've heard of it but I gave it a try.Don't think I quite get it yet but I'll keep trying. Have to say my favourite is Freecell.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Ah yes Helsie - 'Freecell' is the card game? I think I've played it.
DeleteI have enough problems making time to read never mind playing games. Next you'll be saying that life is for enjoying oneself.
