Amazing iPhone App
I found this app yesterday and I thought I would share as it is genuinely a brilliant idea.

Basically its a to-do list with rpg elements. Get xp, gold and items for completing your irl tasks.
I've had one of the most productive days in ages, and I'm about to do some more work.
for the xp.

I wish this was for blackberry too
looks awesome
I had it a while back, never really used it. Neat concept but unless you use it regularly for a to-do list (I keep forgetting) the XP build and "prizes" given aren't worth the patience.
Well yes there is no real use for the gold and loot, but hopefully they will add that.
But we all know that doesn't matter, as long as you are gaining xp and lewt and lvls, usefulness of the rewards is a bonus, like the achievement points in WoW.
No real use, but everyone whores it up.
I'm really going to try and use this cos I have fuck all motivation and have been thinking about how games and rl can be merged a lot recently, and also that TED talk kind of touches on this so yeah.

yeah that app really reminded me of that TED talk, especially since Jane McGonigal likes the phrase "epic win" so much.
Yeah I am inclined to say its named after it, but if rick used it a while ago, ie before the talk then I guess not.

I got it I think when it first came out I think, after seeing it on Lifehacker

Probably is named after that talk then.

I guess Ill be the first to say that that app sounds pretty dumb.

After I watched that TED talk a while back I've been trying to turn everything into games. This app would certainly help.
Sounds pretty fun, I'll get it when I get back from class
