Sixteen Thousand Free Online Gaming Results!!!

The first time I got my laptop, my kids were ecstatic to say the least. They could not stop talking about free online gaming, about ‘girl sense’, about ‘ggg’ and so on and so forth and I was like, “What?!?!” Then of course, they had to show me. As my kids are little girls they could only talk about fashion sense and all the free online gaming that were focused on little girls.

I guess it didn’t really get that much interest from me. I thought, why not? You know, they’re little girls and if they want to play make up on ggg.com, then fine with me. They had Taylor Swift models that they could dress virtually, they had Miley Cyrus to put a virtual make-up on, and they even have Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson to turn into a werewolf and to glitter!

There were so many other things that they could think of doing by themselves in front of the computer that I really didn’t mind if they had their one hour a day dose of gaming each. Then my husband introduces me to Facebook and to put it frankly, I wasn’t really that interested in it until my daughter, again, taught me to use the applications. And I was curious as to what applications they might be and she told me, “Why, free online gaming on Facebook of course!” Oohkay, which?

Holy smokes! I got hooked for the first time in my life. I don’t have any vices, but this one was and still is my one vice: free online gaming on Facebook, particularly two games, Farmtown, and Bejewelled Blitz. One day I found myself playing online for seven solid hours and I had not even cooked, I had not do my laundry and I had not done anything at all during those seven hours except sit and play in front of the computer. Talk about addiction!

Out of curiosity, I just decided to Google ‘free online gaming’ on the browser and much to my surprise, there were 16,000 search results. Each of which had at least 500 games in them. I’m like, what is this all about? Are these sites even making money or are they just putting up these games free for the sake of it?

To think that I used to wonder what kept children and teens in front of the computer and I used to be snippy about the thought of kids not getting enough education because of skipping school just to play an online game. Now that I have experienced it for myself, I am no longer curious as to what is the temptation, but I am now thinking that maybe, these kids should do something else aside from playing.

It is very difficult to wean myself from Farmtown and Bejewelled Blitz, how difficult is it for kids I cannot imagine. It is worse than a drug, and more and more games are coming out every single day. I wonder when this will all stop because for sure, the kids are going to keep on playing, just like I am, sad to say.
