The Song That Goes Pop in July

 Late last month, I received an unusual email.  It was from a game I used to play on Facebook, but it had been discontinued due to the cessation of the code it was built upon.  The game was Songpop.  This wasn't the first time they had sent me an email, either.  After my first month of not playing, they sent me an email or two giving me free bonuses if I would just return to playing the game.  Of course, I couldn't even though I might have wanted to.  While the game had long since been available on mobile devices running iOS or Android, it had just started to become available on PCs.  I was on a Mac.  Therefore, I was unable to go back to playing.  However, this email was announcing that Songpop had finally come to the Mac.  I really liked the game when I was still able to play it.  I even wrote a post about how dejected I was when the game was dropped a few hours earlier than I expected back on December 31.  Now, I had the chance to go back and play it.  One problem.  I was getting ready to start my online summer class.  I didn't wasn't to start a new game while concentrating on my class, especially when the course timetable was so constricted.  So, I have yet to download the game.  However, my class ends this weekend.  I have been a day or so behind schedule since the start.  In fact, I don't even really have the time to be writing this post, but I have just enough spare time to do it.  This means, this coming Saturday evening, or sometime on Sunday, July 4, I will finally have the time to play again.  I am not sure how much will have changed in just a few months.  In the few years I had been playing the game, very little had changed in the gameplay. The biggest one was the lack of connection to Facebook when the game was being phased out. I never got the chance to play against any of my friends.  I was too nervous, and not that many friends were active, especially at the end.  Anyway, I am getting ready to play again.  I needed a new game, as I have been hitting huge roadblocks in many of them the last few weeks.  It looks like I'm making progress, and boom! I either get stuck or sent backwards.  At least Songpop is the type of game that allows progression even when losing.  Time to get back to work, and then back to playing this weekend.
