Carry on... I've actually just finished it though...

Tutteredboast · 13/04/2015 10:19

Noooo, I lost a year to that game. Delete, delete, delete...

esiotrot2015 · 13/04/2015 10:26

Finished?!
How many levels are there ?

GlitzAndGigglesx · 13/04/2015 10:30

I never got into that game but I'm now a bit very obsessed with Minion Rush!

MonstersBalls · 13/04/2015 10:34

I'm on level 760 Shock. Everytime I think I've finished they add new levels.

Orangeanddemons · 13/04/2015 10:40

Candy Crush Soda is better. They have jelly bears, candy necklaces and bottles of pop. Infinitely superior imo

AmyElliotDunne · 13/04/2015 10:46

Minion rush sounds like my sort of thing!

I've been playing Maleficent Free fall, which is beautiful with it's sparkling jewels and rather addictive until you get to level 107 which quite frankly makes me want to stick the thorny bushes up Maleficent's arse

I've done my 2 jobs this morning, I think it's officially lunch time now anyway.

PinkSnowAndStars · 13/04/2015 10:52

890... I've gone back to bed.. Nothing to do now I've got no more levels to Crush!

I'm on level 702 of Farm Heroes, must've been playing it for at least a year. I don't play it at work but I have been known to sneak off to the loo for 15 5 minutes to play a particularly hard level.
It's addicitve & I have to stop myself buying extra lives etc.
I have up on Candy Crush when it got too difficult but I've spent many many hours on that one too.

redexpat · 13/04/2015 10:57

Pink Shock is how I look right now! 890?!

redexpat · 13/04/2015 10:57

Oh wait how far are you on the nighttime levels?

lucycant · 13/04/2015 10:58

Depends who your employer is? Public service, yes YABU. Evil capitalist conglomerate, YANBU.

esiotrot2015 · 13/04/2015 10:58

Are they definitely finishing at 890 though ?!

YANBU. But students paying high fees might disagree.

sanityseeker75 · 13/04/2015 11:48

YANBU I am mnetting instead because I can't have my phone out

lionheart · 13/04/2015 11:51

Into which category are you placing academia? Public service or evil capitalist conglomerate?

YANBU but you will probably pay for it later. Smile

EchoOfADistantTide · 13/04/2015 11:54

I'm still waiting and hoping for new levels :(

EchoOfADistantTide · 13/04/2015 11:55

I'm on level 905...

AnxiousWreck · 13/04/2015 11:59

They release new levels every week, and will continue doing so until December at the earliest unless there are any major company changes, so there will be a lot more levels to go...

ilovesooty · 13/04/2015 12:08

Unless you're on an official break you're wasting your employer's time wherever you're working.

And before anyone asks, I'm on my lunch break.

lucycant · 13/04/2015 12:11

Academics have to do the work however long it takes. So working hours are a bit of a red herring. She will just have to work at home instead, or she will be sacked.

I'm not an academic as such - my employer is CalTech and we are funded by (US) government money.

Don't worry ilove I work more than the hours I am payed to work - though it's all very flexible, which mostly works very well, apart from days like today when I just can't focus. It balances out in the end.

So evil capitalist conglomerate then :)

PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange · 13/04/2015 12:22

Soda is really testing me only on level 199
