I find their singleminded dedication to the puzzle intriguing. Crazy, and I mean that from a professional standpoint, but intriguing.

Given the amount of trouble that everyone in the known universe is having with the step they are stuck on, the fact that it continues to hold their interest is pretty amazing.

You can't derail their conversation, and they for some reason hold The Cellar TINP thread in much higher regard even than the "secret forum" on some official forum site for the game.

I have to assume that there is some kind of subsonic signal transmitted directly into your brain when you play that is what makes the game more addicting than heroin.

They don't even know what the goal is, and they just keep on playing.

Charlie better fucking win the chocolate factory or something.

If the whole thing ends with a splash screen that says "congrats. you're finished" there are going to be a lot of 14 year olds killing themselves in the messy ways that are described in Dance, Dance, Dance.

Think of the peer adulation if you were the one that made the (or even a) big breakthrough.
