A simple farm simulation game, it consumed people’s lives. Our timelines were filled with ‘farmers’ celebrating the harvest of virtual crops and asking others to adopt their cows. It was a heady time, and we all did things we weren’t proud of. Like these.
You did everything to ensure your crops were harvested
Take me back to the days where the worst of my problems were forgetting to harvest a huge crop on FarmVille..
If it meant awaking at 7am to harvest squash that would wither and die by 7.10am, so be it. If it required checking in whilst at the pub, then it was done!

The things you could do! Everyone would be so jealous.
And posted mortifying statuses like these
Would you be WELL.
Now Timehop/Facebook’s ‘On This Day’ feature is the only proof of your obsession
Why did you post so many Farmville photos? Why did you do it?
But some say your farm lives on, even after you leave it
Could this be true?
