Progress Wars: grinding considered as a game

Progress Wars: grinding considered as a game: "

Progress Wars is a pretty arch and funny critique of the way that video games are often more compelling/engrossing than fun. A variety of random missions are generated, one after another ('Hijack Silk Traders,' 'Attain warehouse') which you complete by repeatedly clicking a 'Perform mission' button, which edges a progress bar toward completion. Once you finish a mission, you get another one. And another, and another. As Fipi Lele says, 'The guy at the end is really hard.'
