Until recently a popular online game called Planetarion was free.
Until recently. Now you have to pay to play. Now we were told that in paying for the last round of the game we would get loads of amazing things.
We didn't.
Basicly last round all the ships were more expensive and the round was shorter. Now having done some calculations i have worked out that the creators of Planetarion made no less than $100,000 last round.
So i would have though that this round comencing in the next week would be free. Wrong. More pay to play.
My point is why! It was a free game when it started. Why do we have to pay. Well ni imagine it is because the creators want money. I mean why spend your own money and time creating an online game and not getting anything but that satisfaction that you have made 200,000 people happy.
Money is what drives most people. People want money. Well thats ok until you end up with people sueing each other. Now about 3 years ago when i was at school we did all sorts of practicals in chemistry lessons. We also did them in physics and biology but to a lesser expent. Now, however i have talked to my chemistry teacher and most practicals can't be done by law because if there is any kind of accidant the parents will sue.
this means science is now dull and practicals have all but dissapeared. In 10 years most lessons will be learnt from watching TV and using computers.
Which brings me to another point. Recently there has been alot of worry because in 10 years of so most of the adult population of this country will be overweight. Ewwwwww
The reaon people are getting overweight is a lack of healthy food. This doesn't mean eating vegtables but it does mean not eating as much fat and junk food. I don't eat loads of health food i just eat what i like and eat so i am full. You need to go outside and exercise more! Less sitting around playing games.
Which brings me back to games. Games are great and wonderful etc etc and i like them but some day (when its not raining) go out for a walk where you live. Get some fresh air. Blink owlishy in the sunlight. Even going and sitting on the balcony would be ok. You might as well enjoy the planet while its here for us to enjoy.

You have to sympathise with the PA guys, they needed the money to buy more equipment to make the servers better, and stop ticks from slipping, they weren't just doing it for their, own selfish gains.
