"'...when you buy furniture, you tell yourself: that's it, that's the last sofa I'm gonna need. No matter what else happens, I've got that sofa problem handled.' - Edward Norton in Fight Club

When I have a lot of things to do in little time, I feel a palpable sense of anxiety. Similarly, when I clear one of those things off my plate, I feel a sense of relief. These are emotional responses tuned to push us into action when situations threaten to get unmanageably complex.

Games can trigger these same emotions -- both the anxiety related to an unsolved problem and the reward that comes with resolving it."

The way you walk tells me who you are

  Improvements in gait analysis mean your characteristic way of walking could soon be used to identify you – wherever you are. “Imagine a bank robber who has covered his face but can be identified by the way he walks out of the bank” Ref: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528835.600-cameras-know-you-by-your-walk/ http://www.techtudo.com.br/noticias/noticia/2012/09/cameras-reconhecem-pessoas-pelo-modo-de-andar.html

Kotaku, the Gamer’s Guide

Kotaku, the Gamer’s Guide : "Games are a global business. After all, how many other industries could I work in where I live in Australia, work for an American-based company and can be read by anyone from Portugal to the Philippines at the push of a button? Not many. So it's a shame that while information about games is truly global, the games themselves are not."
