Bejeweled Blitz

Are you a Bejeweled Blitz addict on Facebook? I would always see the posts on my friends' pages with their medals and scores. I knew the premise of the game but didn't want to get involved. For those who don't know of this game, you must move around the colored jewels on the board, 3 of the same color in a row in order for them to burst. If you burst more than 3, you get more points, quickly adding to your score. I would read the smack talk amongst the players; each week trying to outscore each other and climb up the ladder of high scorers. Well, one day my curiosity finally got the best of me so I decided to see what all the fuss was about. It didn't take me long to be become an "addict." Each Tuesday the game resets allowing you to climb back up the leader board, trying to beat your previous scores. Every so often new game features and elements are added, only making the game more interesting. Up to this point, my highest score was around 375,000 but many of my friends regularly scored in the 400's never allowing me to be in first place. Today I scored my highest ever, 495,300 and slid into second place behind my friend Scott who had a score of 587,800. He is always the high scorer and is always the one to beat. I'm not sure if I'll ever see that score again so I wanted to share my excitement and document it.
