FarmVille's burnout cousin, Pot Farm, nominated for video game award

Leave it to the Canadians to not only A. create the first Facebook game revolving around marijuana, but B. have it earn a nomination in the Canadian Video Game Awards. East Bay Express reports that Pot Farm, the BC Bud-breeding Facebook game that peaked with over 1.5 million monthly players in 2010, has earned a nomination in the annual ceremony. It's a fitting description considering the game's developer, Downtown East Side Games, is from Vancouver in British Columbia.
