Poor girl has trouble finding clothes that fit her well.

As far as I know it is. She is good looking from the boobs up, but below that, she has some odd architecture.

Besides Ms. Upton’s obvious “talents” I don’t think there’s a lot there there. She’s not much of an ingenue as acting goes.

I’ve played some free games of this type, online, not mobile games. Yeah, the build times are crazy, but it is not just to sell premium stuff. That’s part of the balancing because it is an online multiplayer game. If you could build up quicker, then some guys would be online 24 hours a day to get an edge on the competition. By slowing down the pace, it makes that strategy less effective and gives people who only log on once or twice a day a chance to compete.

It’s still a whole different ballgame from single player strategy games. The actual mechanics are very simplified for deciding battles and whatnot. The real complexity isn’t in the game mechanics, it is in the interaction between players, forming alliances, politics, espionage, and finding good leaders who can coordinate a rabble of online players. That’s where the fun (and frustrations) lie with these kinds of games.

I’ll be her hero. Just get me into a closed room with her to discuss the terms and fully display our assets.

"Other than extraordinarily large breasts that she is willing to overexpose and blond hair, what exactly does she bring to the table?"

Not much in my opinion and her over endowment will have a short career span if she doesn't dig deep and find some genuine talent.

BTW- the recent commercial that plays on my cable says it's free to download the app and play away. How do they afford all this advertisement and make money on something that is free? (I don't get it)

Yeah, like I got time for that? ;-)

I remember around the turn of the century trying to form a B17 crew for an online WWII flight simulator. I just did fighter planes after that, or bombers with an “automated” crew. Flew pretty much everything ever used in that war.

But I just don’t really have the time.

I’ll sit down to a Command and Conquer Generals Zero hour 8 player skirmish at the “hard” level now and spend around an hour to beat the 7 automated players.

I suspect it is like most apps, you get limited access to the game for free, with a lot of ads.

Pay for it and you get full function, free of ads.

Yeah, I don’t have time for it either anymore, but when I was younger I wasted some months on games like this.

I eventually quit, because every time I played one, I ended up getting drafted as a clan/guild leader and then everyone wants you to do all the tedious work planning out strategies and stuff. It’s fun for a while but it gets to be too much for a game.

“Will you be MY champion?”

For accuracy's sake, I believe she asks, "Will you be my hero?"

I’ve gotten to that point even with Command and Conquer.

Funny, Back in the very early 80’s I used to go to Bogeys bar on Eastlake in Seattle for lunch and put a quarter in asteroids. A friend and I had cracked the game. We’d play until about ten PM on a single quarter. Same with Space Invaders.

I have to many hobbies involved in “reality” to get into it these days. It’s fun to play Fast and Furious with my grandson, though. I have a Scion FRS just like the real one I own that I use to race against him.

We're not rating her theatrical assets here.

“is that a real photo? she’s put on a couple of pounds”

She is still very young. She’s pretty also.

She has the potential to become a big girl as she grows up.

The one I still play that is a multiplayer/team game is Mechwarrior Online, but in that I just drop in the solo queue and they match you up with a team automatically. I only have to spend 10-15 minutes for one battle with them, then we’re done. If I want to play more, I just queue up again and get another team, otherwise I can get back to the real world and nobody bugs me :)

He never mentioned her ample other attributes, but he did say, she needed a hair wash! LOL
