Off Topic: Who knew playing EVE Online could actually save the world!
OK, I may be pushing it here, but after watching this TED presentation by Jane McGonigal, Director of Game Research & Development at the Institute for the Future, till the end, you'll understand.
Further information on Jane McGonigal and the Institute for the Future:
"...frustrated or cynical. We never have those feelings when we're playing games, they just don't exist in games"
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's played EVE :)
She's a gamer, she's intelligent, if she wasn't so intimidating she'd be hot ;)
ReplyDeleteShe sounds very intelligent, but please, please STOP SAYING EPIC. I choke on stomach acid every time I hear that word.
ReplyDelete...Then again, I use that word to elicit the same response in others, so maybe it's deserved.
She's @avantgame on Twitter and well worth the follow!
ReplyDeleteOh god I hope my "epic win" face isn't like that!
ReplyDelete@belamar - Touché!
ReplyDelete@Mandrill - I have to disagree!
@J.C. - Epic, Epic, Epic Fail!!
@Shave - Thanks, now following her!
@Eelis - lol, mighty scared of what "I" look like myself!
Just another reason to say it:
