"i don't understand why this retarded "game" so popular?"It's a 3d-world where all the content is generated by the users. Anyone with even the slightest spark of creativity should find it at least mildly interesting.
Wow, you guys are incredible. Yeah, maybe it's not exactly breaking news, but it's a story about a grandmother connecting with her granddaughter at Christmastime through a virtual world. It's sweet and touching and most certainly not "lame".
@TheWedgeNot only is this not breaking news, but it is in the playable f**kING WEBGAMES category. And that is what I was talking about in my comment. Look at the category, this should be in gaming news, not playable web games.
For the record, I think its a scourge upon humanity and yes, effectively a "3D myspace." But I still would call it a game. You're right though (vhold), playable web game doesn't really fit.
