Its easy to think of failure in video games as a hindrance, but its so much more than that. Welcome to Grim Discussions, where we discuss the psychology behind game design and mechanics.

Today, we're taking a look at failure, how it can be used, and what purpose it truly holds in gaming. I would also have liked to discuss how failure has evolved since the NES days, but that would have been a much longer video.
