Zynga’s newest game is FrontierVille. Long ago (like, maybe a week ago, since the game’s only been out less than a month), I noticed one of the feed posts for FrontierVille had a link that said “get some wood” and I giggled to myself. Now I realize they all say things like “get hammered”, “get nailed”, “get goosed”. And one of the feed pictures is of a chick lying on a bed, which at first I thought was a sort of FrontierVillian post, but is actually real.
Should this bother me? I mean, I think little kids play this game, but I don’t think they’re going to “get” any of that. It’s just that I’m used to the Neopets kinda thing where they get rid of sexy looking faeries and slot machines and anything slightly risqué.
I never learned the shortcut for making an é on the numberpad. I’m mean the short shortcut. I still use Alt+0233. There is one that’s only three digits, but I forget. Oh, 130. Nevermind. But 0233 has a special place in my 8 year-old’s heart.
So yeah. FrontierVille. Shocking.
