Find two different examples of games that involve grinding: a required repetition of rote tasks. Your examples could be free-to-play Facebook or mobile games that require extended wait times, such as Farmville; massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft; very difficult games with repeated, rote learning like Dark Souls;or games involving repeated chores like Animal Crossing or

Harvest Moon. Play each game and be sure to grind. Find a goal that requires grinding to achieve it, and get to work. If you don't get bored before you reach your goal, find an even more laborious goal! After you've finally finished grinding in each game, write a paper describing and analyzing your experience. How does the system you played work, and what does it feel like? Was it satisfying? Frustrating? Did you get impatient, and if so when? How did you feel when you were finished and the goal was reached? What kinds of tactics did you engage in to help manage your impatience and frustration? Did these involve optimizing your activity's efficiency or other kinds of tactics to deal with patience and boredom? Finally, describe your own opinions about grinding. Do you like this kind of game activity? Would you make a game that involves grinding? Why or why not?
