This probably explains why I’m always less than satisfied with dinner when I pick, and feel better when the wife chooses what to eat.
And if you didn’t know already, TED talks are usually pretty interesting.

Hah!
Recently used this video as an illustration of a possible reason why I ‘got into’ Rift after I removed the choice in the matter (I told myself I WAS going to keep going until the first instance, dangit!).
It’s an amazing vid, and so many on TED are as you said. I also linked Schwartz’ Paradox of Choice video which follows a similar line of thought in the impressions write-up.

If interested. But mostly, yay TED!
I read that. Good post, by the way.
In my current WoW experiment of playing without combat (I don’t even equip weapons) it is amazing how fun I am finding things that otherwise might be boring. Trying to fish, collect herbs and get ore in dangerous areas without killing anything is quite thrilling.
Ah nice.
Must confess I don’t think I have the tolerance or psyche to handle such meta gaming like that. At least not over a long term / or for long in a single session.
