10 Games That Made Us Love Performing Mundane Tasks
698Video games can make anything fun, including the things we often can’t be bothered to do in real life. Put a controller in my hands and I will gladly sink hours of my free time into doing the very things I’ve, in reality, been putting off for weeks. I admit, it’s difficult to explain why it’s so satisfying to perform in games the same mind-numbingly repetitive tasks that you’d happily pay someone else to do for you in real life. Many articles have been written on it, trying to figure it out, but I think it boils down to the fact that our monkey brains enjoy simple tasks, and repetition sparks tasty monkey brain juice. I think. I’m not a brain scientist. I do, however, love brain juice, and the games that get it flowing. Here are 10 Video Games That Made Us Love Performing Mundane Tasks.
