I have been known to give my husband a hard time when he is playing his favorite game on his iPad. I've wondered why someone who spends a good portion of his day in front of a computer would volunteer for more screen time.
Then I discovered the zombies. Make that Plants vs. Zombies. Now I know why people love game apps, because they are mindless fun. I'm officially under the spell of this addicting game. My husband started making fun of me!The more I advanced, the more I was compelled to keep playing. While I should have been spending my precious free time more constructively - or on more relaxing pursuits - I kept telling myself I'd just play one more round. I had a hard time turning my game off.
Then I had a dream where I was inside the world of Plants vs. Zombies. My dream was even pixelated like I was inside a computer screen. I woke up a little bit freaked out that I dreamt about a video game! So while the true effects of video games on adults and children are debatable, I am now off gaming and will return to the good book I was reading before the zombies got a hold on me.
Do you have a game or app you just can't put down?
