Play Money

My feelings on Play Money are somewhat mediocre. There were times when I couldn't put it down, and other times when I fell asleep reading it. It was weird learning about this completely separate culture of people who make money living in virtual worlds. I found the story about the man who purchased a castle for himself and was working up to master blacksmith status to be a fascinating, in depth look into what goes through the mind of someone involved in gaming. I suppose I can't really have a blind biased opinion without ever trying one of these games. It's understandable how they can become addictive. I remember being 12 and obsessed with Zelda to the point where I looked up "game secrets" online. I don't exactly think I would ever BUY myself swords and potions though, because I really think it is cheating. If you love the game so much why would you want to cheat the system? It seems almost disrespectful in a way. . .
