I do sometimes really get addicted to playing games, but I would have never thought it could also be profitable. It's amazing and remarkable how you discover all these opportunities. I think you'd be able to even get blood from a stone. Another great post, Neil. I do sometimes really get addicted to playing games, but I would have never thought it could also be profitable.

For both, the idea is to use something mildly fun to space out the really fun stuff, when you get a hit of pleasure from learning about a plot point. The process of enculturation is pretty similar for these two things as well. At first, everyone is bored by the descriptions in Moby Dick and the random battles in Final Fantasy, but after doing it enough, the player gets addicted to the grind because it's so integrally bound up with the core pleasure of learning about plot.

People are suckers for games that encourages them to beat other peoples scores. In the last couple of years, things like "achievements" and "trophies", have been popping up in almost every game out there. I had heard some pretty crazy stories about people playing Xbox games for 10 hours a day, just to get some silly achievement. These banner mini games are almost everywhere now, and they often play on curiosity. I don't think I'm the only one, who has been itching to click one of those "Travian" banners with the large-breasted women, begging you to "save the kingdom" :-=) LOL..it’s so true!
