Use it for training new ants to avoid them?

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.

Or hire ants to do the lawn mowning: http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/ants/DrFun/grass.jpg ;)

It's a workplace-simulator, so its not going to be to everyone's
taste. The thing about this particular game is that you pretty much
/can/ judge it by its cover; in "Lawn Mower Simulator", you mow lawns
in a first person view. If you can't imagine this being in any way
fun, there's nothing beyond that concept that might somehow make it
more interesting to you. Yes, there's a very simplistic business
simulation wrapped around the mowing, but if you can't get behind
virtual lawn mowing, that's not going to somehow make the game a
must-play.

Having said that, I got a kick out of this one. There's something
/satisfying/ about a perfectly mowed lawn with football pitch stripes
running parallel across its length. It's not the sort of game that
will occupy me for long but an occasional interlude of quiet mowing is
a wonderful destressor.

Either that, or I /really/ miss having a garden.

I grabbed it, but anyone's guess if I'll actually ever load it.

Reviews indicate PowerWash simulator is great fun (in a relaxing sort
of way).. I will probably grab that too if I see it for free or maybe
a fiver.

LOL! I almost bought this when it came out and I had it on my Steam
wishlist for the longest time but the reviews didn't convince me to
buy it.

I hope it is the same one. I just grabbed it and am even installing
it! What do you think of that Spalls? :-)))

Thanks Rin.

I find the very notion of it all very confusing. I don't think I've
ever installed a game from Epic. And after you "install" it, what do
you do with it next? I'm all befuddled! ;-P
