This post is part of the Year of the Purge : A to Z series. Every other Sunday, I’ll get rid of something starting with the letter A and working my way to the letter Z by the end of December. This week I’m getting rid of M.
This one is an easy one. I’m getting rid of this:
Mafia Wars is the biggest time suck I have ever experienced while being on a computer. Keep in mind that when I say this, I also include my early years on the NES, where I would play 24 hours straight just to maximize my return on the 3$ investment I had made renting the darn game.
The other night, I suddenly realized that I had been sitting in the living room, all by myself for the last hour or so, watching a counter go down five minutes at a time. WTF?
Adding insult to injury, LovelyWife had gone to bed earlier, leaving the TV on TLC. What was playing? Jon and Kate plus Eight. Gah!
But really, I accomplished my super-secret goal in the game, so there’s no challenge anymore. look:
Ha! Take that master Soldier Queen Khan!
