"2048, the most addictive game since Tetris, was recently released. Its origin has been traced back as far as Threes!, which inspired 1024, which inspired 2048. Finally, an improved version, with animations, was written by Gabriele Cirulli, 19 year old from Italy.

The game has enthralled many, and led directly to the waste of countless potentially productive hours. A variety of permutations have since surfaced: 2048 in 3D, 2048 in 4D, and 9007199254740992.

Some ask why it's so addictive. I say, it attacks our pleasure centers in ways that Wesley Crusher already warned us about."

    Whoever decided to submit and post this story, I just have two words:

    Fuck You!

    Because of you I've just found a new highly addictive game that I bookmarked and will likely be playing for the rest of the night and beyond. Sigh! Just when I was getting over Sudoku.....
