Taking a sanity break with new game

Ginger wrote this on July 1st, 2008

I’ve spent most of today updating WordPress here to version 2.5.1, which of course means that I needed a new theme too. It took forever to find one that would work for what I wanted to do here, but I’m happy to report that the Amazing Grace theme did the trick! Now it’s just a matter of customizing the graphics… easier said than done lol. Eventually, the pictures on the top will rotate, and feature all of my digital art pieces! I thought that would be pretty cool.

I still have a lot of work to do here, but at least the site’s working now. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming long weekend. I’m hoping to bring the girls to go see Hellboy II… the special effects and creature creations look fabulous! With the Holiday weekend, I don’t know if we’ll be able to go to the Drive Ins, but that’s what we’re hoping for. I also want to see the new Will Smith movie, Hancock. That would be a great double feature line up! Hellboy II and Hancock… here’s to hoping!

I’m not feeling overly creative, so playing in Poser or UltraFractal is out… maybe I’ll wind down with some Ranch Rush, or Virtual Farm instead. Playing a casual pc game after a long day of code tweaking is how I relax. Oooo… Diablo III was announced… it’s coming, it’s really coming! I can’t wait!

Found a great new game today!

If you’re a “Farm Frenzy” addict, then I strongly recommend downloading this game! I’m pretty sure (I will go check) that it’s made by the same designers… the graphics are very similar, and the products & buildings are almost identical. [Read my official review of Farm Frenzy here]

Where Farm Frenzy was about utilizing the products of animals, this one’s about using the products harvested, and processed from your farm. There’s a ton of rewards to earn, and this game includes an interesting twist to the production method you must choose. I haven’t received all the awards yet, but I have “developed” everything in my farm. While I find it a little frustrating that ALL of the production buildings are not available at the same time, I do appreciate the challenge that this presents. I’d call this a “spin off” of Farm Frenzy, as opposed to a sequel.

Edit to add: For those of you that may not know… if you become a member of the “game club”, you can get these games for only $6.99 each… most sites sell them for $19.95, so check out the savings here!
