No End in SightFollow

But why would you want to read it...

That's fine. There's a big difference between "I'm so bored, I'll read this" and "LOL I'm lost in the TvTropes vortex now I'll never get any work done! HAHA!! Call Child Protective Services, my toddler's been stewing his own ***** for three days as I read about Powered Princess Catgirls but I can't help it LOLOL!!"

The latter is the usual reaction to the site. Not just here but all over the web.

It's not the categorization that interests me, it's the kind of cross-genre parallels. The general trope is what is far more entertaining to learn about than every single media item it has ever been in.

I don't often browse through the actual games, novels, etc.

But I can start by learning about different portrayals of psychic powers, moving to Astral Projection, then end up on convenient coma, which lands me over on the Empty Shell.

It's not really any different from browsing through Wikipedia articles, except that these articles are limited to topics on media portrayals.

Or you could just play the Hitler game.

Use the random article feature, and see how many clicks it takes you to get to Hitler's wiki page.

Multiplayer mode - one player uses the random system, the other navigates to that page. Whoever reaches Hitler first, wins. And then you two start stockpiling weapons and insinuate murder every time you meet from then on.

I go to NPR and rummage through tiny desk concerts if I get too bored. Or you know..I do some work.
