Battle for Wesnoth
Yes, it’s an online turn-based adventure game! With campaign and multiuser modes. And it’s free! Strangely addictive. Maybe because I get hooked for any game that gives me some mental stimulus for a while. When I know a game through and through and there is no plot to keep my interest up, I rapidly lose my interest in it.
I will make a prediction about this game: I will lose interest in it after a while! There. I’m a bonafide futureteller now! But for now, it has me hooked. Since the campaigns are quite extensive, and I’m a very poor strategic, it will take me a while before I get bored with it. Perhaps I will even learn a little about strategics that will come in handy in other areas of my life?

Oh, I won’t even go near it.
I’m stuck with FrozenBubble (http://www.frozen-bubble.org/) right now…and I’ve managed to get Hannes parents completely addicted as well.

Aaah, that game! I’ve played an incarnation of it many years ago. Don’t remember what it was called though. Played it on a Mac. Was much fun, but it isn’t as appealing to me now, so… where is the danger of me trying it out too?

The worst part is that you have to start over from the beginning every time. So it will take an entire evening and night to get through all 100 levels.

I actually have it installed. Didn’t enjoy it very much though. I don’t have the patience for these kind of games anymore

Ai see! There was a speed option, so I speeded the game up. Now it’s playable, and time consuming!

Sucker, you’re hooked already and it’s all Carolines fault.
Påminn mig att inte följa några av era länkar. Tid är redan en bristvara.

Hehe! Nope, that game didn’t hook me, but I’m still hooked by Wesnoth!
Ska försöka komma ihåg att påminna dig om det. Appropå det, följde du länken till Wesnoth sidan?

Yepp, I did follow the link. And nope, I just took a quick look and then killed the browser so I wouldn’t get hooked.
But that damn Firefox add-on I got after reading your other blog remembered the page and opened it again when I restarted the browser.
I’ve still managed to avoid Wesnoth though.
Huh, why am I writing this in english. Time to shut up and go to bed. Cya!

Noooooo! Not exorcism! I can’t handle more chanting and incense!
Hehehe! Oh, the one that saves your browsers current state, so you can re-open closed tabs and much more? Scary! Oh, I mean
Good boy! Wesnoth is dangerous! Keep away from it! And you’re writing in english because everyone else is? My blog is aimed towards an international audience
Oh, and sleep tight!!

About not following links. I sent this URL http://bash.org/?434593/ out on a joke mailing list at work. You’d be surprised at how many people that didn’t realize that the refered text was the joke. They just had to cut’n'paste the url on the refered page into their browser. Suckers!
