For the most part I have tried to avoid games on my iPhone. I don’t have much time for them and I have never been very good at games. Even when I was a kid I remember being beaten by my sister again and again at connect four. Even as an adult I tried playing words with friends with my sister only to be pummeled. I know it isn’t the same but I just have never been a game person so spending much time on them, other than solitaire, just wasn’t my thing. Yesterday I made the mistake of downloading Candy Crush. I have wasted more time on this game in the last 24 hours than I care to tell. They hook you with a few levels and then just as you are one brick away from finishing the level it tells me I am out of moves and I can either buy more moves or try again. This of course is after it tells me I have to wait another 30 minutes for a new life, or pay for one. Good thing I am a total cheap skate or I could spend a month’s pay on extra lives and moves. I now think that in app purchases are of the devil, and just about the digital equivalent of crack! I think it is time to delete this app from my phone, that is after I use the lives I just got while writing this post!
