Horse wonder.

    So, I've been thinking lately. Why have some of the younger generation games become so intense and Difficult. No, I'm not stupid.

     The other day I was so bored I was practically hitting my face with a keyboard and refreshing my homepage on Facebook, too many times I can't even begin to count now. By the side an advertisement popped up. Naturally me, being me, I clicked on it because I was curious. It was a horse game for the younger people who want their own virtual horse. Okay, it seemed to look interesting so I started it off going by the rules, learning the basics until I was left by myself. I had to help the horse grow. I fed it, gave it water, sleep and exercise. As soon as I got the hand of it and it started to grow I was soon able to take my horse on "Small rides up hills" and "Trots through the woods."
    I was actually, admittedly getting dragged into the game. Helping my horse to grow and be a healthy horse to ride. Just as I went to give it more water I got a notification at the bottom part of the screen on the game. Yes, it said "Your horse has been over worked too quickly therefore you have killed it." I'm a murderer. A virtual horse murderer. The guilt turned into confusion. The way they worded it seemed to be a bit brutal and harsh for younger children? Also, the fact that I failed at it, me being a 16 year old, means surely either they may find it impossible or I'm just terribly bad at games altogether. I would probably go with option two.
