Have you ever played a game called
JT's Blocks? Chances are you haven't, because if you did you wouldn't be reading this right now, you'd be playing. The game is offered on Yahoo games, and its as addictive as Crack.
Instead of curing cancer, I've been playing JT's Blocks. Instead of updating my blog, I've been playing JT's Blocks. Instead of watching TV, I've been playing JT's Blocks. Instead of masturbating, well... there's always time for masturbating.
When I close my eyes, I see blocks. When I drive my car, I see blocks. When I play with blocks, I see blocks. This happened once before, about ten years ago. I bought a Gameboy with Tetris. Played constantly, I when I wasn't playing I was thinking about playing. In my head I would see little blocks falling, and would move them into place. I realized I had a problem when my weight dropped dramatically and I got scurvy, so I returned the game to the store. However, I can't return JT's Blocks to the store, its always there just a couple clicks away whenever I sit down at the computer. If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't work through my company's firewall, I'd probably be unemployed.
Remember the Seinfeld episode where George is trying to figure out how push a old arcade Frogger game across a busy street? Then he realizes that all his Frogger practice has prepared him for that moment; the machine actually prepared George so that he could later save it. I'm waiting for that moment to come with JT's Blocks, but I just don't see how. The game is just to abstract.
