This is a public service announcement.
If you see the following on your computer screen, do NOT try to engage. This game is interesting and addicting. You could be hurt.
Mug Shot:
A randomly chosen victim's profile will be used here to demonstrate the dangerous affects of thinking video games are pure entertainment:
Victim's Profile
Melody Platz, a normally productive writer, was contaminated by this infectious strategy game over a period of three days. In that time she stopped eating, became anti-social, stayed up until 2:00 a.m. and developed green spots on her nose.* As a result of the Gem Craft influence on Melody's life, she has had to join Game Addicts Anonymous (GAA). She is restricted to 45 minutes on her computer per evening and her boyfriend has threated to beat her with large objects if she relapses.**
If YOU are confronted with fifteen free minutes and are tempted to play Gem Craft or any similar time sucking game created by incredibly wicked people, please call 1-999-GET-LIFE. Operators are standing by to yell at you and make you feel guilty.***
*Melody did not actually develop green spots. Her skin is just naturally a little lime colored. This is normal, she swears.
**The Silly Boyfriend is NEVER violent. Melody smacks him often. So Melody is actually the abusive partner and deserves to be beaten with large objects.
***Melody actually loves video games. But she does have a problem with them. Gem Craft is fabulous. This is a humor site, so don't believe everything Melody saves. Melody needs to stop using the word actually.
There should be a similar service announcement concerning facebook, the procrastinator's friend...
