Online Games - Friend or Foe

Okay, so the title says it all...Online Games - Friend or Foe.

I'm not one of those who frequent these sites, infact I couldn't even tell you any names of high interest games people love. But I have taken a liking to a game on Pogo.

I can blame it all on my honey. I saw him playing it one morning and decided to sit down and toss my two cents into the pot.

Now, you have to inderstand, I didn't think I'd like it so much, when I tell my mom..."Will you stop playing that stupid game and listen to me."

Yes, I've actually said that to her while on the phone. But the game she plays is different.

Word Whomp, is the one I've become addicted to. It's the jumbled letters where you have two minutes to make a whole bunch of words.

I like it because it forces you to think in a quick and timely manner. It keeps the brain going and damnit, you just want to keep playing, because you will get ALL the words next time, LOL.

So what do you guys think? Are online games an addiction? Do you use them to keep the noggin thinking? Do you even play them?
