Jane McGonigal, she's one of those scientists optimistic about gaming.
As far as I can tell, she things games will be useful as a sort of motivational cure-all.
Some stuff from the vid:
Estimated combined total time of all players spent in WoW: 5.93 million years, not too bad, only a little over 4,520 hours for each player. Which is only around half a year of total playing time, little less actually.
Also, people can expect to spend about 10K hours gaming by age 21.
Four things gamers are getting good at:
Urgent Optimism (Not so sure about this one, at least for myself.)
Social Fabric (Yes to this one.)
Blissful Productivity (/signed)
Epic Meaning (I understand it.)
=Super-Empowered Hopeful Individuals (Maybe.)
WoWwiki is the second largest wiki in the world. (0.0)
Before we had awesome controllers, we had sheep-knuckles.
Rome came to be because of a dice-game.
