Christ. Life has been fundamentally altered. Here is the article reprinted from Gawker:
Now you have one less way to waste time at work and one less reason to get pissed off at your “friends.” Scrabulous — the Scrabble rip-off available for online play at Facebook — has finally been shut down. So now you have to play real, Hasbro-owned Scrabble. Or just go here. This is perhaps not the best environment in which to launch our own exciting murder mystery online board game “Hint”, is it. [NYT]
Scrabulous saved my marriage and gave me friends over the internet. When I needed a kidney and a pint of blood, Scrabulous gave it to me.
Now what? Go outside? Get some exercise?
I’m at a loss, people.
Order snooker for the PC?
I don’t know what snooker is and I don’t have a pc — I have a mac. NOW WHAT?
They had to dump it because you broke it with your 100-point words.
Good job, Laurie. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
My husband played a 114 pt word on me and broke 400, and it was the sexiest night in our marriage. They had to pull Scrabulous because we are losers.
Eh? My boyfriend and I tried it this morning and it was still there!
what a bummer… too bad scrabble can’t get over it… they should like the free publicity. they’re just jealous that they didn’t think of it first; i wonder if they’ll launch their own version now.
@LadyAngora Yep they have it, but when news broke out, their application crashed. Well, there’s always the Wrestler application for me.
Um. Bejewelled?
I’m beside myself with boredom on facebook, and I have played bejeweled to death. Maybe I should read a book?
