Is there a variation for non video game examples? Such as reading a book and not putting it down despite it being a doorstopper?

In computer programming there is the 'just one more bug' syndrome, where a programmer keeps working on fixing a program, and there's just one more bug to track and correct. Even Charles Babbage was supposed to have been afflicted with this in the sense that he kept thinking of improvements to the design of his analytical engine and so never finished it. Which would make this trope older than what?

The only permanent solution to a social problem is an economic solution.

Hi, I'm new here — [waits for cheers] — slinks back to corner....

Umm, anyway — while the "just one more level" trope might have existed before Civilization, it seems to me that this entry downplays its importance. As someone who looked up at 5:30 in the morning after just a few too many "one more turn"s, I think I have some standing to make this claim.

If documentation is needed, I think I could probably submit my sophomore year grades....

Because this site is made of awesome, I don't want to just stick my nose in, but — really?

No, people mistook it for that. See the thread about that trope on Trope Repair.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
