I, mystery-ak am addicted to Farmville....there I said it!!!
Farmville is very educational as most strategy games are. This is probably the upper echelon of video-gaming, though. Most of the stuff below this level isn’t very educational at all.
I highly recommend playing Civilization 3 or 4. This game can introduce the player to geopolitics and history and is a good start to really understanding our world and how it works. Many Lefties lack this understanding because of their insular indoctrination.
Its not educational. White grapes don’t harvest a day after planting.
That reminds me...
Farmville VA. is pronounced “fawmvul” by the locals....
I need FV neighbors. Not lectures about how “dumb” FV is.
Hello, my name is Autumnraine and I am a Farmville addict.
My 8 year old plays Farmville on a closed Facebook account (no friends but me, I log her in and out) and she does really well figuring out how much she has to plant, how much she will make after the cost of plowing and buying seeds, etc... How many more animals she could fit on her land if she invested in chicken coops or stables for cows... and so on.
So yes, I say Farmville is educational in some ways.
Have you seen Surrogates.....seems to me that was the ultimate in virtual reality. In my mind that goes along with this topic! ;0)
I heard Leo Laporte this morning talking about his healed addiction to Farmville. I had never heard of it. Is this something that can be played if you are not on Facebook? I just cannot bring myself to join Facebook.
Longwood University is in Farmville, thats pretty educational.
Monopoly is just as well IMO. I spend my time at FR and flea markets picking up old farm equipment to use myself when anarchy sets in and the economy tanks after some idiot shoots this President.
It has potential but has gotten too far away from the concept of actual farming IMHO. It’s created by a company out of San Fran so I’m guessing their actual exposure to real farming is limited. It lost me with elephants, penguins and valentines, too bad.
I can quit Farmville anytime I want, but I don’t want to :)
Here is FreeRepublic on Facebook. Go there and comment on the ‘Farmville ADD MEE’ thread if you want to add or be added for FV neighbor....
