The Bloody Doors Off

I’m trying to give up video games.

The Facebook ones.

I’ll keep playing Scrabble with Mollie. It’s simply that: Scrabble. And I must enjoy the game because she kicks my ass 19 times out of 20.

But Texas Hold ‘Em. I’m just collecting the four hour bonuses. I hate playing against randoms online because 98% of the time they don’t know how to play. And the algorithms are hardly fair.

But they also want you to buy tokens and points.

Fuck that noise.

Euchre was good but there weren’t many opponents I could play consistently. I didn’t like the randomness of strangers.

Angry Birds is the worst.

I say this as a recovering Candy Crush addict.

That was a tough detox. They got a fair amount of coin from me.

But Angry Birds.

Everything is designed to get you to spend money. Power-ups, bird coins.

It’s been 4 days now. I’m itching to waste the last of my power-ups and bird coins and call it a day.

Better to do it cold turkey.

Rip the band-aid off.

Still up for a good game of Scrabble. And I beat Kevin 50% of the time.
