I was struck by this statement:

"There’s something just intrinsically rewarding about turning around a corner and shooting at something."

Do others feel this way? I've played shooter games when I was a kid, but I don't know that I feel intrinsically rewarded by shooting at stuff.



It's more of an immediate sense of action/consequence, like striking a billiard ball, rather than anything special about shooting.


Someone might find this article about the psychology of first-person shooters interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/11/the-p...


I'd say that psDooM is more rewarding, though less pratical, than ps/kill.
