"I need some nails for my gate!!!!!"
"Jimmy's horse has jumped the fence!"
I periodically receive similar posts on my Facebook account by some of my friends who work on virtual farms. Scrounging up nails and corralling rogue horses never seemed like much fun to me. I am more of the slay the dragon, wipe out the invading aliens, score the winning basket, or re-kill an army of zombies kind of video game player. I never saw the appeal of running a 2-D farm on Farmville, but maybe I am the one missing out. Maybe, just maybe, I'm missing out on the meta-appeal of this simple social game.
More and more people and more and more money are pouring into this phenomenon. So as an experiment, I am going to attempt to run my own farm starting today. It is time for me to roll up my sleeves and get some virtual grit under my nails. Film at 11.
