Desktop Tower Defense: An Addicting Viral Game

July 24, 2007

I've been playing Desktop TD ver. 1.5 for hours on end. The game is so addicting that I've completely forgotten about my other addictions: Sudoku and walking. Not to mention, I neglected my domestic duties. Dirty dishes piled up. Floors remained unswept. Plants left out to wilt. My brother who came home from work unexpectedly early waited for at least 30 minutes outside our house, knocking incessantly at the door to no avail. I didn't hear his banging. I was in my room totally engrossed in the game, music playing at full volume in the background, and cellphone in silent mode.

If you're a busy person or if you have something really urgent to do, I strongly advise you to stay the hell away from this game. Sure, it relieves stress but once you start putting those towers in the play area, there's no way you could stop killing those creeps.

I did warn you. Now, I'm going back to my game.
