Hating As An Artform: Facebook Apps

Facebook apps are getting ridiculous.

Farmville, Petville, Zoo-something, send a TARDIS, click here if you want to high five someone, Snow Ball Fight, etc. They are all ridiculous, and seem to solely be usable as timesinks. Which, in and of itself, is fine. But some of them are actually starting to implement pay strategies (“click here to buy more Pet $$!”), and that’s when, in my mind, the line is crossed from “oh that’s kind of cute” to “oh you can just go to hell.”

If you want people to pay for your time-waster game, make it an iPhone app. Or better yet, design a full game, put it on XBOXLive.

This entirely does not apply to Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures, in which I may or may not have a 13th generation Elite 8th level Eladrin Wizard named Hamlin.

CRITICAL HIT!

OH YEAH, so this is totally going to be a regular thing I write here. I have a lot of hate in my heart, and you all need to share in it.
