Games vs. Chores
Reading Joe's posts about games got me thinking about my definition of a game. It is pretty simple. Following a set of rules is either a game or a chore. If I am having fun, then it is a game. If I am not having fun, then it is a chore.
Performing tasks that I get paid for at work is sometimes a game. Playing certain "games" is sometimes a chore.
P.S. I finally got un-lazy and added a link for Joe to the left. I check out daily Blogs through the links to the left EXCEPT for Joe's. I jump to his from other people's Blogs. I finally updated my links to get to this directly.
P.P.S. I also used this post to experiment with how to add a link to text with HTML. It's something that I have needed to learn and this was a good chance. So I followed rules and had fun with it -- today's post was a game!

I enjoy a lot of chores. For instance adding the new bedroom onto the house took a lot work on my own. I have an advantage of being raised by a first class craftsman (thanks dad). I like to have the right tools and I really like when everything comes together to match whats in my mind.
While I REALLY do NOT want to do the bedroom all over again I have to move its clasification to Chore.
Having to run an avatar back across a zone to re-engage the enemy that just killed me. NOW THATS FUN!
Dishes, I enjoy getting them done and done well because I set them up as a series of challenges and cut the time needed to do them. Thats a chore but I have some fun with it.
Mowing the Lawn, I just have the coolest lawn mower. However, I have tired of the repetition so I handed that off to my son. HIS CHORE, MY FUN!
Sex, well its FUN but the costumes and plastic sheeting is a chore..... Never Mind....

The costumes are MY fun, and plastic sheeting alleviates other kinds of washing chores. I don't know where "prevention of chore" falls in the spectrum.
