"On a related note I’ve become convinced that casual games are played in order to win at whatever life situation you find yourself in. For instance, I was a Drop7 addict when work was shaped like that. Today it’s more Peggle. I have had days when the only way to wind down in the evening (and practice the metamoves for the day ahead) is to play Canabalt. I’m sure, back in the day, I could pass a happy hour on Tonepad, but no longer."
