The Video Game Entertainment Curve
Any dedicated game knows, there are certain genres and game types that simply require a bigger time investment to maximize your enjoyment of the game–this comic pokes fun at the time/enjoyment curve.
In what has to be an example of cosmic coincidence, a friend of ours practically direct-quoted the RPG player quote from this comic yesterday at lunch. Where do your favorite games fit on the curve?

Jason Fitzpatrick is warranty-voiding DIYer and all around geek. When he's not documenting mods and hacks he's doing his best to make sure a generation of college students graduate knowing they should put their pants on one leg at a time and go on to greatness, just like Bruce Dickinson.

sad but true. I wish RPGs could be enjoyed up front, but it isn’t a very feasible concept.
I would also argue that fps games should be higher up, but just for online play.
i think it needs to be flipped. it would make much more sence to have “casual games” on top and “rpg” on the bottom.
I assume that’s why I only started skyrim up once.
a true nerd would know to put your control variable on the horizontal axis.
