Epic Win app turns to-do list into RPG!

Post by jfe2 »

I stumbled upon this article while browsing http://www.nerdist.com. After watching the video and hearing what its all about, I instantly downloaded the app.

It turns a normal to-do list into an RPG by awarding XP and loot for doing stuff on your list, such as laundry, dishes, beating a game you've been playing, whatever you want really. I'll post some thoughts on it once I get some time in with it, but I thought you guys may enjoy it as well. :D

Looks like the iDevice version of Chore Wars:

I love Penny Arcade... that was hilarious!

So I spent a bit of time with it and got some experience for taking a shower and will get some more today when I do the laundry. :) Also picked up some loot for going through the tutorial "missions".

That's a brilliant idea (the app). I would totally use it except..I'm on the Android train, not the iPhone one.

I don't mean this in relation to you, but just in general...

Whaaaaaa? You... shouldn't need to award experience for that. :shock:

Put it on the PC for the poor folk who don't have expensive cell phones.
