[LUGSB] Help...

[John R. Hover]

Can't.
Stop.
Playing.
Frozen.
Bubble.


Curses on whoever was playing that game two meetings ago. I rarely get 
hooked like this-- never liked Tetris. But I'm having a hard time 
putting this one away.

BTW, you can load up the .xm music files from 
/usr/share/frozen-bubble/snd/ in xmms to get that frozen bubble feel w/o 
playing the game.

I'm beginning to think a big part of how addictive the game is is how 
good the music is. It's better than about 2/3 of the ambient/house stuff 
in my regular playlists. Very good to code to...

:-)

The music is how it spreads.  Akshat was playing it, and I heard the
music and started watching.  Then another person in the lab started
watching.  And then we took turns playing.

Thankfully, I beat it the day after the meeting and was able to kick the
habit. :)  It still consumed a large part of two or three days though.
