No, I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol or anything like that. I'm addicted to my tablet. I had gotten it for events for the ability to take credit cards since I don't have a smart phone or a phone that has touch ability. I love games, card games in particular. I love playing spades and it's been a while since I've played euchre but another enjoyable game. You can find apps for all kinds of games, and most of them are free. So I've downloaded a version of spades, spider solitaire, solitaire, and free cell solitaire as well as several other game that are non-card. Among them are various versions of Bubble Blast (1, 2, Halloween, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's - you get the picture.
The thing about most of these free apps is the ads that come between games or levels or whatever. The ads can be bothersome but are tolerable. Playing against the computers is the most aggravating part of playing spades, especially when playing partners. You have stupid moves being made that likely can cost the game or hand. Playing with real people you have the ability to read body language and of course, "talking across the table" which isn't supposed to happen but if you are playing a friendly game, everyone does it. I miss that, yet I continue to play the game.
Bubble Blast 2 is the other game that is my doing in. I tell myself I'm only going to play 25 levels and then get back to work or do something else productive. That happens less often than planned. There are 100 levels per "pack" and after only having the game installed a little less than a month, I've already played over 35 packs - which is over 3500 levels. I think I'm on pack 38 or 39, just starting out. In addition to all the levels on BB2, I've also played several packs all the way through on Halloween Bubble Blast. So why is the game so addicting? If someone has the answer, I'm happy to listen.
Why can't I put these games on hold and be productive some days? I think there is something in the install that sublimely makes us continue playing. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Tune in next week when I participate in the Next Big Blog Hop, having been tagged by Susanne this past Wednesday.
