You see I have a minor case of OCD and the gameplay of feeds right into that. Most of the time my is channelled through my craft. This results in beautifully composed, optimised, self-documenting code which only ever asymptotically approaches completion.

However, I have recently had a second lapse into Crack Attack which is a game that is won by swapping blocks to form 3 or more in a row or column or both. Points are multiplied by cascading or simultaneous combos (one score results in an other). It is a game perfectly designed to exploit the weaknesses of OCD sufferers such as myself.

Uninstall Crack Attack

Today I am kicking the addiction! This game has occupied way too much of my limited time and I don’t want it around any more. Earlier I posted just how high of a score I have and that should be satisfaction enough. You may have noticed my post rate suffering… ok, non existent and I have even been playing at inapproriate times (I love you dear, sorry).

Purge complete!
