My wife...she is on level 268 in about a year and a half. Another reason why I am glad I am not on facebook.

Never heard of it.

If it pops up one more time when I'm trying to read planetf1, I'll embed my Android into the nearest tree

My wife is on level 250+. And ONLY plays on her cell phone, where there are no cheats as found on Facebook.

My wife on her phone. I don't ask what level.

I wasted enough time in college playing Tetris, that I refuse to play those games, I don't want to get addicted. My current time waster is Real Racing 3.

Another vote for wife on phone. I don't get it.

[Paul_Heery]

Wife on iPad. I have never looked at it.

Reports are that this "game" makes about $850,000 per day.
Candy Crush Makes $850,000 Per Day! Admit It: How Much Have You Spent on the Game? | E! Online

"Candy Crush Saga is designed to be a habit, not a game," Jamie Madigan, who chronicles the intersection of psychology and video games and holds a Ph.D. in psychology, said. "We know from studying how habits are made that they are often born out of routine...So if you pick the game up over your morning coffee every day, or play on your lunch break, or play as part of your getting ready for bed routine, it will become a habit."

+1 for real racing 3
i have taken some time off on that game. I need to take a brake from the candy crush though.

Can't break away from tetris long enough to get addicted!

I use FB to share pictures and life events with friends and family across the globe... sort of a lazy mans blog if you will.

If you like playing the games good for you... but I don't get it.

YMMV

I don't mind playing some short games on my phone / tablet -- but playng games on FB? Why? So all my friends can know how much time I waste playing mindless games? I guess that's for people who also like to post what they ate for lunch everyday...

On my phone/tablet, I do enjoy a quick game of soduko, card solitaire, & temple run. Aerox, The Room, and (new to me) Badland are pretty fun too...

First I've heard of it.

Of course, my wife and son are addicted to Dragonvale (Dragondale?) on the tablet. At least the ambient sounds in that game are birds chirping and wind soughing.

Note, rather her play this than internet shopping...

My games are typically Angry Bird, and Air Control.

[Rick V]

Dude, angry birds is just a gateway game.

I work in the industry (broadly construed). I don't play *any* games. Other than PPOT.
