Game Fun

 I found this week's reading material to be quite interesting especially in how fun is looked at in the process of making and studying games. I found the concept that fun is a byproduct of a good game design and not to be something that should be a concern as a fundamental building block in its own right during the conception and development phases in the production of a game. This is a concept and design that I have never though of or even considered when looking at video games but it is now something I find to be integral when designing any game.
