I once got a long email in the form of a poem ;) that was very funny and I was so happy about it. I wrote back, also completely in rhymes, and I got another reply from him, rhymed as well :)

That was really the nicest thing that happened to me in that context (it wasn’t for a game, it was for a tool), and it’s also so much cooler than any donation that I got before.

And I would call that an addiction, and a pretty bad one too. :)

Sorry for strange association, but one nice article:

“Most people in the video game industry, and many people who write about them for a living, hope for games to be taken seriously as art or literature.
It’s just around the corner, we believe — the day the establishment flings open the door to us and lets us in, apologetic tears streaming from their eyes. “We misjudged you,” they’ll cry, “Just like we initially misjudged movies, jazz, and prose poetry.” Games are a brand-new medium, we console ourselves, and these hidebound fogeys just need time to understand it.”
