Apart from the danger of repetitive strain injury (I play with the middle finger of my right hand, if you're interested) there's the problem of seeing life as a series of bubbles to be burst. I realised I had it bad when I looked up from losing a game (I don't actually know how you win it) and visualised the black jacket of someone talking on the television suddenly disintegrating as a black bubble hit it.
I've recently found Tetris on Facebook, which may go some way to weaning me off Bubbles, but the lure is strong. Anyone got something else I can waste my time with?
Jings, that is so old a game, too. We've had it for linux for *years*. :)
ReplyDeletePresumably you've worked out that the aim is to demolish the greatest clusters by firing the ball at the largest cluster of the same colour?
Having-it-bad is when you've been playing Duke Nukem and you see a cracked wall down a street and think a #5 RPG would do the job nicely.
Em, well you can find a whole range of bubble shooting games on Facebook as well. Suspect thats not quite what you had in mind though :-)
ReplyDeleteThe old ones are the best - it reminds me of the one that came bundled with the ZX Spectrum, only that was bricks! And yes, I delight in hitting a sea of purple and seeing it explode - I have a long history of silly-game-playing. :-)
ReplyDeleteSadly me too.
ReplyDeleteI deleted it from the iPad but couldn't bring myself to delete it from the computer and now it's back on the iPad.
It's not as though I haven't got enough to do without wasting time with such addiction.
I need to bite the bullet and delete the thing entirely.
A bit like my pre-Mac days of playing Spider Solitaire.
