Can anyone explain how the simplest applications could become so addicting?
I can't. But I'll try.
Somehow, with life's real complications, we turn to games that act out our fantasies or emulate our realities and cut them into smaller chunk versions which are easier to handle (with a click of the mouse!)
The games started out as comical copies of life, until the developers just got better at it that the games mirrored reality all too well. Then, it's the games itself that cause your life to be complicated.
Somehow, the simpler games turn out to become a vacation from all these; relaxing, if not hypnotizing.
So here goes another list (as seen on the right). An invitation list of whomever is interested in joining my crew, posse, clan, or whatever.
I'm addicted. Again.
Until the next really innovative MMOG comes out.

Pachelbel to Rembrandt
Actually, I haven't played that long in Pachelbel, but there were interesting circumstances about it:
I picked Pachelbel by accident. I didn't realize I created my Twilight-inspired diPenombra family in that server until it was too late. What was interesting though, was that as I was reading the series... The word, pachelbel, showed up. Somewhere in the third book, the Pachelbel for the Potomac was used. If you have checked out the music I have included on top, it is a very beautiful piece.
This has inspired me to log into Granado Espada again... And I was surprised. Pachelbel has been merged in with the other servers. Pachelbel is now Rembrandt.
