Is My Wife Turning Into A Facebook Addict? Dam You Farmville/Mafia Wars!
Hello, my name is April and I am a Facebook addict. I finally signed up for a Facebook account about six months ago after a lot of my friends kept telling me I needed one. It started out innocently enough. I would check it every couple days just to see what people had posted. Maybe take a few quizzes. Then I discovered Farmville.

At first I was just checking on my farm every couple of days, trying to figure out the game. Then my husband started playing it and he soon had a higher score than me. I couldn't let that happen. I was then checking the farm every day. As I started to understand how to play the game better I was checking it a couple times a day. I was sending requests to my friends to be my neighbor so I could get an even bigger farm. Then I started getting the requests to play Mafia Wars. I am now playing online at least 3-4 times a day and my friends are probably getting annoyed with all my requests for them to play with me.

So what is the draw of these games? We first get sucked in by our friends. They want us to join their mafia or be their neighbor. You think why not? I'll just play once or a couple times. Then I think our competitive nature comes into play. We want to be the one with the highest score or the most money. A big part for me is escapism. When you are having a crappy day at work it helps to take a few minutes and escape to a place where you are a farmer or a member of the mafia . Somewhere where you are successful at what you are doing. The games are made by Zynga.
Zynga was founded in July 2007 with the vision of connecting the world through games. Since then we’ve dedicated ourselves to making fun and social games for people to play with their friends and have become the largest developer of social games on the web in the process. Zynga games provide a platform for players to express themselves and form deep social connections with their friends. With a catalogue that ranges from casino games to role playing games, our games can be found on most social networks According to their own website, as of March 2009, they had 46 million monthly active users and 71 million registered users.

Now the big trick is trying to make sure that I don't really become an addict (although John may say I already am). I know I am on the boarder when my daughters know all about my farm and my mafia.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
