Gamer's Block: Oftentimes, no matter how much we try in life, we can't seem to make it to the next level. So, we take time out from our daily frustrations to play a video game, only to find out that as we waste time playing the game, we discover that we are wasting time learning how to get to, well, the next level. This gamer's block syndrome is particularly galling when the clue to reaching the next level is in hindsight oh so obvious. Gamer's block is harmful to those who take pride in their ability to loaf productively. It is thus particularly prevalent among office workers, bureaucrats, and writers of satirical web sites.
