I remember when we briefly chatted about this on IRC that you mentioned the word 'entertaining', and I think it's an interesting word. It would also fit, for example, a movie or a novel. Example of other packages that would fit in this are the Devil's Dictionary (dict-devil) and the various funny manpages (asr-manpages, funny-manpages). More controversial example is the jargon file (in part it's entertaining, in parts it's got a cultural relevance). It all definitely doesn't fit into game. use::entertaining would be interesting, although I'd like something that centers roughly near dict-jargon, and touches amoeba, dict-devil, asr-manpages and funny-manpages. And would encompass hypothetical packages such as funny-sounds-archive, hitchickers-guide-to-the-galaxy, gnutemberg-novels, computer-museum-hardware-manuals-from-the-70s. Book-like or radio-like or movie-like entertainment of some sort. Where you absorb some sort of narration rather than exercise your skills. What is a word to describe that?
