Do you play games online?

I once knew a woman who played solitaire on line may times a day. I know that the game Angry Birds (I think) had a huge following and I know that there is a popular game called Candy Crush. Apparently, there are games on FB you can play too. The only game I have ever played online is Words With Friends and that was with my daughter for about three months. I would guess that it has something to do with age. Younger people are so tech oriented that their phones seem to be an appendage. But, I do see a lot of older people playing too. I had a friend near my age who was hooked on Angry Birds. So, I was wondering if myLotters play a lot of online games?

From the ttime I got my first computer - which was 15 years ago - I've played Freecell. It never tires me. When I was new to it, I once forgot to attend a teacher /parents meeting. I was the teacher.

Now that is quite a recommendation for a game. Your missing that meeting gave me my 9 AM laugh.

I do play Freecell sometimes as well. It was the first one that got me!

One of my favorite computer game was Tetris, but also the so called "Adventure Games", I liked to solve mysteries. I do not play online games.

Oh! Oh! I used to play Tetris Battle and was quite a master of that game. Got tired of it though.

@blitzfrick I have an old GameBoy with the Tetris on it, I still play sometimes. You can find Tetris online if you want to play.

I play games that I have installed either on my iPhone or my ipad. I find games from the app store that I want to play, install them,, and then I will play them. I like the cooking games the most though, and sims too.

@JamesHxstatic I used to play games on the computer, but since I have my iPad and iPhone, I play on them. I haven't played games in awhile on them though, as I would rather be in here, than do any thing else..

Games just never really interested me, but the one called Bookworm sounds interesting.

I play one or two online, but found one for my tablet that I play most often. I play when I'm on break or lunch at work and a little bit at home too. That one is called Gummy Drop. It's similar to Candy Crush, but you build cities too. I recently found out that I can play it on my desktop, and although I downloaded it, I've not installed it. I may never install it as I'd be spending too much time playing it I'd think. The only benefit would be to share lives with friends and see their progress which I can't access on my tablet. But, I'd have to start from the beginning which I don't want to do at present. The games I play are on fb. I'd done a few on swagbucks, but since I still work two jobs most times of the year, I try not to play too much.

@JamesHxstatic I have good will power in certain things and awful in others. For instance, there have been several times when I've gotten up for the day and told myself I won't mylot until I've finished my bookkeeping for taxes. But then I want to check my bnnk balance first, then I check my notifications and before I ,know it most of my free time is gone, or I'm not in the mood anymore as my resolve left me. I only have to go through all my papers to make sure I have what I need to see the accountant. I also should do my reconciliation for the last two months which would take all of one hour as this is our slow period, but yet...here I tend to be. I was surprised that a male cena- nurse- plays Angry Birds periodically as he was possibly around my age give or take ten years younger maybe.

@MarshaMusselman Online writing seems to be an addiction.

You sound like a very busy woman. I admire your will power in not having installed that game on your desk top.

I play spider solitaire and minesweeper. But they are on my computer not online. I open them up when a page loads slowly or when I need a break from a mystery shop report. Then I just lose time. I am trying to do it less! And I am early 60s. I ask myself why I play this when I never played solitaire with actual cards!?

That is funny and one reason I have avoided games. I fear I would become addicted.

I used to play solitaire with cards and do puzzles on my kitchen table, now I do puzzles on facebook, and I like spider solitaire although it's on my computer along with many other solitaire games. I never win on those so don't do them too much. I also do Mahjong Trails on FB as well.

I cannot stand those games. Looking at a small screen makes me dizzy. I know some people who live their entire day playing angry birds trying to get to the next level. That would drive me crazy and would rather do other things.

I have gone in spurts. I did Candy Crush for awhile simply out of boredom. I had it on my phone & would sit and WASTE TIME on it while at a baseball practice or such. I finally deleted it off my phone. Words with Friends and Scrabble are both fun. And every so often I go through a phase of playing those. My dad sits at his computer and does solitaire a lot.

@JamesHxstatic I've done it both ways. For awhile, it was on my phone, but always seemed to give me errors. Then I did it on Facebook & would do both. I'd usually play with friends, but sometimes I'd be in the mood for a game & would do a random challenger.

Did you play Words with Friends with someone you know or a random challenger?

I really don't want to get on hooked on games so I haven't tried any. I think I played Scrabble once or twice years ago. I play Spider Solitaire a lot (too much) but not online. I know there are dozens of games out there.

I keep getting sent pages on FB from friends about games, but never go look at them.

I've been playing online games since I'm 13 and even today I'm still playing. But to a much lesser extend now only if I can't find anything else to do - which doesn't happen anymore.

All the games already don't call my attention. I don't mind if it is online or not. I think it's because I'm too busy studying and I like to spend my free time on other things.

There was a time when I used to play a lot of online games -- role-playing games, Facebook Games (SimSocial, Restaurant City, Mafia Wars, etc.) and games like Candy Crush. I got tired of all of them though. I get tired of games that never seem to end and because they will really take a lot of your time to be good in these games.

I'm addicted to solitaire and Spelltower. Both games help me reload when I'm mentally just about burned out.

I too play a lot of Freecell but that's not an online game. I used to play Dragon City with my young lad and these days I often have a game called Hooves of Fire running in the background while I'm doing other things. It's a horse breeding and racing game which doesn't require much brainpower so it's a fun distraction from some of the heavy stuff I'm usually reading.
