FarmVille Review: I won’t be embarrassed… I won’t be embarrassed… OK, I’m embarrassed. I’ve been playing FarmVille and I am currently the proud “owner” of 12 growing plots of land. I have cash in the bank and I can’t wait to harvest my little wheat swaths for more sweet sweet dough. I am fascinated by how they grow and how little I must do until its harvest time.. Little, that is until, like many of you, I’m devastated in the morning when my little plots of land are gray and withered… Why must these poor little farms loose their lives due to my inability to return and uproot them with my harvest tool at set intervals through the day and night??? And why no reminders or alarms!? Damn FarmVille! Don’t you know I can’t be held responsible for such a schedule?
OK, so that wasn’t much of a review – but perhaps you can sense my intense interest in growing my little FarmVille home.
The game is simple. You buy a couple seeds and they do what seeds do – they sit and grow, unless you ignore them and they live full lives and then – well, then they die before you can profit. If they don’t die, you can sell them to buy more “impressive” seeds. These more impressive seeds are something to be very proud of evidently. I imagine the culmination of the game is to have a farm full of the most “expensive” plants and decorations. I can’t wait! Suck that Jenny M@@an (told you I would amount to something…) Now, humbly, I will just wish my crops would stop dieing during happy hour… Play on friends, and if you do, become my “neighbor” so you can harvest my crops while I’m catching some shut-eye tonight.
~If you care – I originally wrote this about FishVille – but the same applies (minus some crop death sadness). Is it interesting I only had to change 24 words..?
UPDATE:
Amazing! Someone has come to solve my problem about knowing when to revisit the Farm so that you can harvest your crops! The Farm Clock Alarm is everything I’d been hoping for. It counts down the seconds until you need to return so that you never miss a harvest again! About time someone thought of this (Separate review to come).

Hiya coolappsman, if you have an Android phone you can use the Farmville Crop TImer App, it lets you very quickly add crops as you’re planting them, even specify which farm they’re on if you have multiple farms. Once the crops are ready you’ll be notified so you don’t risk withered crops. Hope you get to try it and find it useful.

Well, that app is a good app, but updates are in desperate need. I have emailed the developer quite a few times and they won’t answer. I offered free help to update and all. Of course this is in reference to his post that he would enjoy all the help he can get sort of speak. That app would be much more enjoyable if the updates were kept up with…
