I take a perverse pleasure in introducing people to things that they enjoy, but that I have no interest in taking part in. This manifests in a few ways; I like throwing parties, I’ve introduced a few people who became happy couples (and speaking of not taking part, two of them have been gay couples!), and I like turning people on to  easy-to-learn but addictive computer games (video games otherwise don’t interest me much). I consider this last pursuit particularly gratifying if I know I make the person late for work on Monday morning. This can be a risky pastime. At least three people aren’t speaking me because they became addicted to Stack the Cats, for instance. And in cases like the amazingly simple but disturbingly intriguing Spin The Black Circle, I run the danger of becoming addicted myself. Which was also true of the game Auditorium, which adds an extra level of aggravation by not having any hard rules and allowing multiple solutions to the same problem.
