SuperBetter: Game Your Way to a Healthier Lifestyle

[DarxusC]

This thing requires you to give it a friend's email address. It's mission 6. I'd like more people to be aware of that before they start putting time into this.

How will they get past the chicken/egg problem? Do I have to go pester all my friends to join just so that they can log in once a week and set quests for me?

I think its kind of sad when a person needs this type of extra motivation to walk 10 blocks or get enough sleep. How 'bout you take the money you'd spend on this, give it to me and I'll come over and whip your ass right into shape. I dont leave bruises.

This will be the next WoW killer.

battle filed 3 will be good

[LostManSays]

@55539brian Orgasmic, even.

Great concept... drives incentive with stuff that otherwise just gets overlooked like eating/sleeping well. I'd really like to see a 'Virtue' game - changing your relationship with the world in a way that enhances virtue in character... e.g. giving to charity, sociability, working on drive to excel and success... needs some thought but I think it can be done!

[bakedbeansorama]

@lanceawatt That sounds like a great expansion on this idea!

[lanceawatt]

@bakedbeansorama thanks! I hope they employ me LOL XD

@lanceawatt Charities for the most part are Jewish designed and dominated means of laundering money for hookers and blow.

[lanceawatt]

@ArmoredFelix hmm I like the idea but its borrowing heavily from Grand theft Auto ;)

[ArmoredFelix]

@lanceawatt Ah well you can lead a person to a correct idea, but you can't make them partake.

[lanceawatt]

@ArmoredFelix thats true, but this game would enable you to customize your own goals, so the challenges would reflect your own values, so in that respect it would be adaptable...

[cheezit1]

sigh, as an avid gamer i would love for this to actually work but it seems like so much like i'm trying to "trick" myself which would never actually work

[SomethingSea1]

@cheezit1 It's not very well done at all. Once you think about it for a second, it's clear that this game is actually a ruse. The combination of the SHOULD "health" is still at the heart of the problem. These people think health is an unpleasant task. The only way to make a good game is if you think the activity.... is actually fuckin' fun! Have people who enjoy exercise and the such make the game - not those who think it's a chore.

I wouldn't mind trying this at all...
