In Which I Agree that Gaming can Change the World
I WAS going to discuss PR type activities that players use to communicate with other gamers, but recently a TED talk has popped up that makes a great argument. Before I link it, you should be aware that many people who play online games will forego TV watching in favor of the online gaming experience. Personally, I don't even have cable. When I watch television, it is background noise to playing WoW with my significant other.
With this talk, Jane McGonigal argues that online gaming can save the world. At the beginning of the talk you can hear people giggling at her claims, but at the end she gets a standing ovation.

I know the side is cut off a bit, I edited the HTML so it didn't spill over. Sorry about that.
"This is a gamer who is on the verge of something called an "epic win." Hahaha
What a great video! She has a very interesting point of view that I would have never thought of. Good job finding this. By the way, I'm assuming by your blurb before the video means that you agree with her?
Well I am interested to see what you have to say about the first part you WERE going to talk about. This is very interesting though...way to go Zack! Your blog looks great!!!
Great video!!!
if everyone looked for an epic win for the humanity in life...the world would be perfect...xD
