watching. judging.: 10 Behavioral Hooks →
This is my list of compulsive loops that I’ve picked up from game and product design work. I’ve found that these can be applied to any game, utility, or entertainment app. I’ve also put together some well-known products that make excellent use of these mechanics.

It’s the post that @danbenjamin and @hotdogsladies don’t want to hear: the origins of both Bleutoot and Bulk Bag!
On this week’s Back to Work, Merlin said that he doesn’t really want to know where the “Bulk Bag” meme started, but turns out I know, so I decided to post this highlight mix anyway. These are some of my favorite Bleutoot moments cut from 5by5 After Dark and Back to Work episodes.
I’m not affiliated with 5by5.tv or Back to Work in any way, other than having listened to every episode of Back to Work since it started. All of this silliness aside, it’s a great podcast that has changed my career, my attitude and how I view my role in the workplace. (All for the better.)
For new listeners, I’ve selected this starter pack to get you going:
- #1: Alligator in the Bathroom
- #9: Out of Scope!
- #17: Brick Building Full of Lies
- #51: Living Inside the Nonsense
- #56: One Giant Beholder Dinosaur
- #59: Brains All the Way Down
You should check it out.
(Update. Thanks Merlin and @dominik for the updated bandwidth-proof link and everyone else for the kind response. The real credit goes to Merlin and Dan for their comedic genius, and to Dan and his supporters for building such an awesome podcast network for us.)
