Zombies by breaking the play experience down into LeBlanc’s eight kinds of experiential pleasure: sensation, fantasy, narrative, challenge, fellowship, discovery, expression, and submission. I thought maybe I’d try to further characterize the enjoyment you get from Plants vs. Like I said about its voluntary play aspect, it also makes for a really good casual time waster/relaxing activity since you can pause and leave whenever you want with little consequence. Maybe the first seduction includes stuff like the game being really whimsical and cute as well as accessible for pretty much anyone to play with little difficulty. I’m not sure what the first part of the seduction is since I feel like that could be different for everyone. Zombies’ double seduction, the part that gets you to keep playing the game. I think that’s definitely a main component of the second part of Plants vs. I think I’ve already covered some reasons why I find it really fun to play, particularly the way it structures game challenges around playing with its own established rules and premises. Zombies a lot and I think it’s a worthwhile game. Zombies type games! Like I said, I like Plants vs.

Not that I thought anybody like that would actually see these posts but honestly I couldn’t think of a title so I was like uh, “sup y’all, playin’ some PvsZ and having a blast, if you think that’s weak you can come fight me.”Īnyway, having clarified that, I’m glad I finally have spent some more time thinking about Plants vs. But yeah, I guess “actually really fun” was more like an assertion that these games are fun and worthwhile and I like them, directed towards a hypothetical audience that perhaps buys into the whole casual vs. Actually I don’t know, I might play these kinds of games more often than larger games currently because I never feel like I have the time to play a lot of stuff anymore. Tetris Friends, more like Tetris Mortal Enemies.) I didn’t spend much time thinking about these games because I guess you typically don’t want to expend too much thought on something you use to take a really quick break from obligations and then move on. (I get especially into tetris friends because you can send lines that you clear to your opponent and basically annihilate them I can be kind of a jerk in this.

The other half of my game-playing time is spent procrastinating/unwinding/blowing off steam in “casual” games like Bejeweled, Tetris Friends, or Sushi-Go-Round or a lot of really basic flash games. That half of my gaming history I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about because it shares a lot in common with cartoons and comics.

Animation and webcomics are my primary creative interests so half my playing games consists of playing games that prioritize qualities like art direction, narrative, and worldbuilding. What I meant in that post was that I’d never really thought at length about this type of game despite playing them. Zombies is “definitely a game and it’s actually really fun.” I think maybe I gave off a mistaken impression in that post that I was super surprised that the game could be fun or that I usually avoid games like Plants vs. In my first play journal entry, I made the assertion that Plants vs.
