About Me
When I game I play mostly MMOs, RPGs and Shooters but my main passtime is staring at my framed photo of Chad Concelmo. Also I work at Bioware as a system designer.

Frontierville - Goodbye Goose Army
kitae | 9:36 PM on 07.23.2010 10 comments


Frontierville is an odd game. With no actual way to win, you need to come up with your own goals. Many people try to build a perfect farm, I wanted to build the perfect army.



Could I fill every single square on my farm with a friendly, but deadly, goose? At 300 gold each, this wasn't easy -- I had to do weeks of harvesting peanuts to raise the cash. Finally, with more cash than BPs planned dividend payments to shareholders this year, I began to recruit my army.

Unfortunately, technical problems started to surface. As the goose army's ranks increased, my framerate dropped. I switched to chrome which gave me a frame rate boost, but the geese relentlessly pecked at my performance. I started managing my goose army at work where I had access to an 8-core processor computer, but no computer seemed capable of rendering that many feathers.

There is nothing sadder than having an ideal, a dream, and realizing that while it's theoretically possible it's just to beautiful to exist in Adobe Flash Player 10. Fairwell goose army.

I can't say the game ever interested me, but that's pretty awesome.

I've noticed this with other Zynga games. They can't seem to handle lots of shit being on the screen.

Don't know about you, but if I saw an army of geese heading at me, I'd be scared.

t's for people who are fans of trains. it's the same as games like iRacing.com or many niche ultra-realistic flight sims - those games have giant audience.
it's much cheaper to buy this game and all DLC considering that building only one simple mock-up will cost you over 500$ and that's not counting train set(that costs sometimes over 400$) and time you'll have to spend building everything by yourself.
i have a family member who is into that stuff and he spends loads of money on his mock-ups. cfa level 1 practice questions CFA Level 3 Practice questions CFA Level 2 Practice questions ccna practice test cfa practice test cfa exam questions itil practice exam cfa sample questions
