Someone should make a Facebook ap game where you fly around blowing things from all the other Facebook ap games up in the manner of that old Intellevision game “B-17 Bomber”… Maybe make the player’s plane a P-47 Thunderbolt so you could fly both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions depending on the loadout you select for your plane prior to starting a mission (kind of like World of Tanks).

In reply to Marian. I understand that playing games can reenergize us and I encourage that. I go for walks to clear my head and get away from the computer, but I don't understand addiction to games that are played during what I would consider productive hours. Robert

I don't understand mindless activities. Going for a walk and taking in the fresh air is one thing but taking a break from computer based work by playing a computer based game seems counter-productive and pointless. Get up, get out, and be active. The fact that you are using this post to promote your website and your FB fan page infers that your SEO strategy isn't working and implies you are cheap!

I would say that most of FB's games are addicting. However, I enjoy playing the one-minute game Bejeweled Blitz. I spend most of my time on the computer daily working on our website, doing internet marketing, seo things to help us rank better in the search engines. So, to take a break from the deep thinking I do, I play a one minute game and that kinds of makes me feel like I am clearing my brain and taking a break. I won't play FarmVille, YoVille and the others that make you come back on a daily basis to reach levels, etc. FB is a great for social marketing (which we do for our cabin rental business). Our website is: and our FB Fan page is: . and you know how much work is involved with the networking part and getting fans. I learned a lot of it from your FB Fan Page and your website. Long story short, I play the one minute games as a break from the deep thinking I do on the internet and my website. However, I do not spend any more then 30 minutes a day playing games. I know I could be doing other things, but I always have other things that need to be done.
