In which I complain about the results of the Great Canadian Video Game Competition.

Mind Habits

You may have heard that this Mind Habits is the winner of the great game competition. I downloaded and played it. It’s a flash game of really simple tasks (there are like 4 total) that supposedly, if you can stand to do it every day, will make you happier by associating your name and things you like with good things. It’s all back up by Brain Training style “Science”.

So the winning game is a sort of knock off of a popular casual game. OK so far so, so. Not exactly award winning material but it might make some dollars.

Except that these games are dead easy to throw together, so their competition is like a million, billion of the same fucking game. http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2007/11/oh-sega.html

Good Work, Telefilm.
