Strategy

I hate to admit it but I really am turning into a Facebook addict. Start pelting those stones. After the smug remarks and disimissive wave that I directed toward the site before joining, I am now in the unpleasant position of jamming those words right back into my mouth. It's not that I have the annoying habit of adding people I don't even know for the sake of adding anyone, or uploading the latest inane picture of me applying medication on a corn, but the games. More specifically, the MY HEROES ABILITY game.

Like most of its ilk (Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, etc), you get to role-play a character with a specific ability that will help you advance into more sophisticated levels enabling you to do more against enemies and upgrade your basic ability. Not that impressive at first glance, but I guarantee once you started doing it you can't stop. The closest approximation I can give is that it is similar to other RPGs like D&D and the Magic.. series. 

Similar, but not as sophisticated. For instance, Telepathy-my ability-doesn't offer much as far as offensive/direct attacks are concerned, but is very useful in dealing devastating handicaps (reduced accuracy/protection/damage capability) against targets fighting against others. So in a group, which is one of the features of the game, a telepath is not something to be dismissed. I like it just fine, though. It can hold its own against opponents with great physical offensive capabilites (i.e. superhuman strength/speed, flight) matter manipulators (i.e. electricity manipulation, cryokinesis, pyrokinesis) and other enhanced mental powers (telekinesis, memory manipulation).

You get to compete with friends with different powers and compare abilities, hamper their game by applying handicaps when they least expect it, help each other, or engage in a deathmatch with each other once you hit the right levels. It's the closest you'll ever get to playing a superhero as an adult.

So please don't ignore the invites I sent.
