Cityville on the Edge of Forever: Introduction

This is a new blog I am starting on http://cityvilleisdeath.tumblr.com/ documenting myself playing the newest Zynga sensation and my subsequent descent into madness
Facebook used to be a place for friends to connect, a place for photos of varying degrees of tastefulness, and a place to stalk that girl you met at the part the night before (don’t deny it!). On February 4th, 2010 something changed all that, something no one ever expected… a farming simulator. Farmville quickly became an Internet sensation and making the games developer Zynga a multi-million dollar company overnight. This led to a social gaming revolution that has consumed millions of people across the world. I, Nick Osborne AKA Ozz, have watched from the sidelines curiously as my wall has filled with people asking for cows, spreading the news of their brand new tractor, and spent hundreds of dollars on something as small as a virtual goose. This month however one of these Zynga games caught my eye, It was called Cityville and in less than a month it was being played by 41 million people… 41 MILLION PEOPLE! As I sat gazing on that unimaginable number, I decided that I must know what all the hub bub was about and thus Ozztopia was born.
