Brad Woods has an amazing website dynamically illustrating the concept of "juice", which he defines as "the non-essential visual, audio and haptic effects that enhance the player's experience".

There's an example of how you can juice up a simple "delete" button with various levels of UX. I encourage you to play around with it to juice up your own buttons!

At times I couldn't tell if this was a lament or an instruction manual.

The "souled" version of the Clif Bar site and the Amazon Video pause menu are good examples of the pendulum perhaps swinging back . Even today they give "overbusy" more than "rewarding."

Yes! Awesome site and post, I'd forgotten about it. Thanks for sharing!
Missed Rick-roll opportunity...

That said, the hover/push feedback instantly reminded me of my own "Motherfucking Website" variant and the effects I give ordinary hyperlinks (an on-hover and on-click interaction, via CSS).
