But I have met my match in BloonsTD4.
For those who don’t know, it’s a tower defence game
involving monkeys trying to pop balloons with darts.
Yes, you read that correctly. Monkeys trying to pop balloons with darts.
And I love it.
It’s a puzzle game and that’s the only class of game that I
generally enjoy. I like the challenge of
trying to maximize effect with minimum resources. And I can play it on our iPod touch, which
means I can play it while keeping an eye on the kids rather than having to be
squirreled up with a computer somewhere.
It’s surprising to me how much I’ve ended up playing
it. I’m probably playing as much as an
hour out of the day. Which means it’s
time to get some perspective and pull it back.
It may not seem like such a big deal but
I’ve worked really hard to minimize my TV watching to make sure I get
writing time each day. If that time ends
up getting sucked into a computer game, it won’t help.
But I’m sure I can still find a little time to marshal my
army of dart throwing monkeys to save the world from evil balloons.
