Comment on Can gamers save the world? by sattvicfamily

Yeah people can become totally vicious about getting ahead and winning. I like to call it ego wars because for some reason people become assholes, esp when playing FPS ( in my opinion). I actually don’t play live because I really have no interest in competing or having an ego trip, UNLESS I was playing with a friend. The link to the TED talks is highlighted in the post; I will email it to you though. I personally think she is right that there IS potential for gamers to collaborate and motivate each other, but like you just said, it can be the total opposite.

I haven’t seen the TED video that you’re mentioning, but I play Battlefield 3 alot (online) and also happen to be a business owner. When you’re playing this game with 64 other people, you get to see a glimpse of what people are willing to do in order to get ahead, not just in the game, but in real life. Some set boobie traps and hide behind a bush just waiting, some will try to snipe you from far away without you having a clue someone is watching you, some people like to ambush or surprise-attack you when you least expect it. It’s the same in the real world, only toned down a bit. My point is that games (when played online) can also teach you about life in general. And also, games are a much better alternative to cable television because it doesn’t stimulate your mind like it does when watching, say “America’s Got Talent.”

Please post a link to the TED video and email me back if you don’t mind. There are thousands of videos on there. lol

I think that while this may be politically motivated, one has to wonder what was going on behind the scenes.

That is EXACTLY how I feel regarding Burton. I think it was good casting though, and look forward to seeing how Depp does. BTW there are actually two Dark Shadows movies, from long ago, and both were pretty good!

I myself have never seen Dark Shadows, however Tim Burton has over the years increasingly, at I think lost his artistic edge. Johnny Depp as a vampire is interesting, though one based on a TV series that was also a drama back in the day may be interesting to watch.

Growing up we had a cocktail style Space Invaders in the “den”, as well as an Atari 2600, later an NES, Genesis, so on and so forth. I can thank my Father for starting me off on my path to gamer-hood. My 3yr. old daughter has already begun her training.
