At least according to one "industry expert."

Quote:
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter declared that nothing will top the title for at least 20 years due to an insurmountable lead


Which is better than this guy, who thinks WoW can only be replaced by... FARMVILLE!

Quote:
Codemasters' Dave Solari imagines that the winning formula "would have mass market appeal, with instant accessibility, would work on all platforms, particularly mobile, be incredibly viral and social -- like a feature-rich FarmVille."


That is not a world I want to live in.

I take it I'll be able to count on you as one of my trusted lieutenants if I ever have to organize a Farmville Resistance?

Yeah, I'd group with Alliance for that. Ooh! Especially if there was a secret code word!

Something about a Farmville Resistance just screams awesome.

I can see it now...

The world of 2030 is a bleak place. The once fertile fields of Facebook have become nothing more than barren wastelands, sparsely populated by the occasional farming bot. On rare occasions they would wander into one another and request help building something, or offer an animal. Deep underground, the resistance is working hard, led by the refugees from the Great Collapse of WoW, struggling to take back the world of the internet.

A lone woman strides through the tunnels of the sanctuary, a package in her hands. She approaches a steel door set into the stone.

"What's the password, teacake?"

"C'mon, Pold. It's just us down here. Do I really have to say it?"

"What's the password? No exceptions."

teacake sighs. "Redheads are awesome."

The steel door creaked as it swung upon its hinges, revealing a large cavern filled with computers, servers, and other equipment giving off a gentle hum. "Welcome back to FAP."

The woman waltzed in, then turned around and presented the package to Poldaran. "I brought Cranberry Orange cookies."

Reporting for duty.

I've de-friended family members on facebook (which is a pretty big deal as I now live on a different continent to my family) for polluting my newsfeed with requests for wood so as they can finish their barns.

You know, you can just block that stuff. You don't have to actually remove them as friends completely.

I refer to facebook as farmville these days, as I feel facebook is a bigger farmville that also contains a mirror of itself called farmville.

Either way they are both evil.

Thankfully they don't. ;)

I call horsepoop. I would never make cranberry orange cookies.

On a side note (because the cranberry orange thing wasn't a side note at all), Christmas baking started today and the "cookies" of the day involve breaking potato chips and pretzels into little pieces, mixing them with melted chocolate, and then just spooning it onto wax paper and letting it dry. This? Is the food of the gods.

Faceborg is teh evil.

Farmvile will be outlawed after citizen action group FAP rallies congress around the hidden socialist agenda promoted by self sufficient farming simulators.

In 20 years we will all play WoW internally via our wet wired wireless 100G brain cards. Monitors will be included in specialty contact lenses or for the ultra riche integrated into brain dream imagers.

Many accidents later citizens will rally for self driving flying cars as a result.

Mini-pretzel + Rolo + Pecan = awesomeness.

Rolo (since there are a lot of EU folks here and I dunno if they have Rolos over there).

Edit:
Apparently candyaddict does not like hotlinking images.

Rolos are actually British and have been made by Mackintosh since 1937. Hershey licenced the brand in 1969 for the American market.


The more you know. *swooshy star thing*

From Hershey's Website:

Quote:
ROLO is a licensed brand from Societe Des Produits Nestle S.A. The original licensing agreement was executed with Rowntree Products in 1969. In 1988, Nestle purchased Rowntree.


The only thing the same there is the mention of 1969. Unless Rowntree is/was affiliated with MacKintosh?

Edit: Aaaannndd... yea. lolwikipedia reveals that Mackintosh later became Rowntree-Mackintosh, so that harmonizes the two accounts.

None of which affects the awesomeness of the above-mentiond pretzel/Rolo/pecan treat.

Edited out as you beat me to it with your edit.


And agreed on the awesomeness of Rolo products in general. In fact my wife keeps asking me for my last one. But I just don't love her enough.
