I've been addicted to an online game called Pet Society for the past two weeks. It's a simple game created by Playfish, a social games company that creates games for people to play together. Founded in October 2007 by casual and mobile games veterans, Playfish is combining the best elements of casual games, social networks, MMOGs and virtual worlds to create entirely new, more social ways of enjoying great games together. In the world of Pet Society I can play games, decorate your house and even bring gifts for my friends when I visit them. I can enjoy many different games and activities in Pet Society, playing football or catch a frisbee, jumping with skipping rope or going on treasure hunts for coins in the city. I can take part in contests against other pets at the Pet Stadium. I get a chance for lucky draw when I visit the site through Facebook for virtual money. In Pet Society I can spend the virtual money to customise my pet any way I want through colors, clothes and fun items like watches and jewellery. I can also decorate my pet's house with furniture and even show off the various trophies I have won in the mini-games. I have been spending over an hour on this game during the past two weeks. I don't know when this addition is going to end, so I can have more time left on more meaningful or constructive stuff. I guess once in a while, you got to spend your time on some meaningless things such as Pet Society. That's part of life.
