If you like TED have a listen.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Here's a few more great Ted talks on gaming, it's effects, and future posibilities.
All inspiring in their own right but I'll let you make up your own mind.


Daphne Bavelier: Your brain on video games


Gabe Zichermann - Gamification


and speaking of Jane McGonigal...

Thanks, will give a listen. The possibilities of the "gaming" as a new medium are endless. Immersive interaction with visuals, audio, storyline, and personal involvement and influence/determination of the outcome. It really is a new medium for artistic expression, with a lot of possibilities that imaginative people will someday imagine. And execute, probably independently at first.

Someday people will probably remember gaming as the predecessor and innovator of the new medium. Kind of like the way old silent movies were dime entertainment shows, and now Film is an art medium incorporating writing, visual arts, photography, sound design, musical composition/performance, and acting/dramatic performance.

So... Film works beautifully, if the film tells a story that we all can relate to. About somebody else's loves, loses, laughs, or punch life in the cajones attitude. Same as books- we're not a 19th century woman in Russia stuck in a dead-end marriage and risking all to get out and hang with some interesting and sympathetic guy. But we can relate to Anna Karenina, and follow the adventure to the end. Whatever the medium, if it touches the base, it's real and it's art.

So again... How much more is possible from what we have with the gaming platform? Telling stories about hobbitses and chasing white whales and being caught in a typhoon in a tramp trawler with a load of human cargo, and they're fighting tooth and nail below, and Anna Karenina. But this time, all of the visuals and audios are right there. And you live in the story.

The opportunities are endless and beyond imagination, I'd say.
