Hey guys! So, my very first YouTube video is up, and I’m pretty stoked. It’s not the world’s greatest video, but it’s all mine and even though I’m awkward, it’s very exciting for me. If you want to know a little more about me and my plans for my channel, you should check it out.
So on Saturday, I accidentally wound up being stuck in a car for a grand total of just over 4 hours, unexpectedly. It’s a long story, but basically Google Maps sent us to the wrong city, so after driving an hour we realized we were an hour and a half from where we needed to be.
Luckily for me, I was the passenger and I filled most of that time playing games on my iPhone so I wouldn’t go insane. I spent a surprisingly long time playing Farms & Castles.
It’s a pretty straight-forward puzzle matching type game. Three bushes turn into a tree, three trees into a forest, three forests into a farm, and so on and so forth. You lose when you run out of space to put new things in.
Farms & Castles is everything a Freemium game should be, I’m pretty impressed by how unobtrusive it is compared to some other mobile games I play. You can spend some cash to buy magic orbs (they do things like clear a spot, transform stone/wood items, and act as a matching piece) if you really want to, but you can earn the gold to buy them in-game and it’s not really necessary to buy them. There is the occasional after you’ve made X amount of moves, but it’s not a video or anything like that, so it’s not really that annoying.
All in all, it’s a cute game (I like the graphics) that kills some time without annoying me. I love a game like that!
Whew! Setting up an online presence is a lot of work.
Had to set up the blog. Had to set up a Twitter account. Had to make a Facebook page. A YouTube channel. A Twitch.tv channel. All this so that I can make videos of me playing video games to show all of you, but the funny thing is that I had to stop gaming to do all that, and now I’m exhausted.
I still have more things to do; I need more gamer appropriate header images for all the aforementioned sites. But I’ve worked enough for one day, and now I really want to go play The Sims.
