I wrote a thing about Fate of the World and its value as a learning tool, and I figured that might be relevant here – especially considering the recent class discussion. Enough from me, though. Let’s ask our friend Enticing Block Quote.

And then, finally, things started clicking, and I was no longer the worst GEO leader in history. I knew what Rocky felt like after he finally ascended those steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. And that’s when it hit me: Fate of the World had tricked me into learning. It had played on my expectations as a gamer—my desire to master systems and worlds—in order to make me obsess over a topic of real relevance. Gaming industry, take note: this is how you make an educational game.

Are you enticed? You should be. Otherwise, Enticing Block Quote’s going to lose his job, and, well, his family of little punctuation marks won’t feed itself. Do you want to be responsible for that? Can you live with that weight on your shoulders? Just read the article. Wouldn’t want there to be any accidents, after all.
