Why people grind in games (1)
permalinkClive Thompson explains why people accept and even enjoy the grind in games: Why? Because there’s something enormously comforting about grinding. It offers a completely straightforward relationship between work and reward. When you log into WoW, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you just plant your ass in that chair for long enough, you’ll level up. It doesn’t require skill. It just requires putting in the time. Play 10 hours, you’ll ...Shared by kegz (18)
- kegz said: Agreed, that the allure of the grind is the sure thing, but no arenas of human endeavor have a strong relationship between effort and achievement? C'mon. What about getting better at almost any physical or mental skill?

- Jim said: Finally!! Very happy now that I decided to integrate these into my blog rather than start over from scratch.
- Unseen said: switch to old del.icio.us asap ppl!!!
- Randy said: The new del.icio.us (now known as simply Delicious). I've just started to play with the new interface, and it's pretty slick. I fucking hate how they changed to delicious.com, though--I've used the service for years, and typing "del.icio.us" just flows, although I acknowledge the fact that people do not know how to spell.
- gRegor said: I like del.icio.us and the new design, check the video for comparison.
