With A Little Help From My Friends


Funny, I didn't know "With Friends" was a German brand, but I suppose "Zynga" does sound a bit Teutonic. At least I know they make really great stuff.


Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. You don't accept seminal Superman villains as appropriate word plays? I dunno, Vince, I'm starting to doubt whether this product family is as wow-mazing as it's cracked up to be.


… And that settles it. From now on I'm buying all of my Scrabble-related off-brand entertainment products from that British guy who shills all the Billy Mays' stuff since Bill had that coronary back in 2009.

On Virtual Interaction

© Zynga or something. Love you guys.
Gave you money. Please don't sue.
So, percentage-wise, at least, this past week most of my social interactions have been through iOS apps.

This isn't nearly as bad as my facebook "City of Eternals" phase, in which–unlike every other nerd in an RPG, I exclusive ran around leveling up and solo-questing, only battling other players because I hated them as much as real people, if not more so, really.

No, this time I'm playing "With Friends" games against my actual friends whom I see in real life. And occasionally some people from high school or college, but mostly people I legitimately see every week.

However I can pretty much guarantee this is the most we've interacted in many months, you know, sober.
