If you're reading this article, there's a high degree of likelihood that you like video games and think they are fun. There's a good chance you own one or more video game consoles or platforms, with more than a dozen games to play. It's more than a little plausible that you've spent hours pouring over your favorite video games. If you're in my age bracket, and grew up during the 1980's and early 1990's, you might have spent a lot of time reading Nintendo Power, Sega Visions, Electronic Gaming Monthly, or any number of other magazines dedicated to video games. It's also possible that, now as an adult, you've spent a considerable amount of time and money on video games over the years.
But the question I want to ask you is this: Have you had fun? Have your experiences, in total, added up to what you would call "fun"? How does one quantify fun, and what does that look like? Is fun simply a series of feelings, or is it more than that? While I can't claim to have all the answers, they are important questions to ask, in light of one's experiences with gaming.
