Jane McGonigal, Director of Game Research and Development at the Institute for the Future, explores the theory behind massively multiplayer forecasting games and the design principles of her project, Superstruct. He reveals the most interesting insights from the first 10 days of live gameplay on the site.
HE? wrong. Jane is most certainly a SHE and deserves more respect than that.
I played this game when it was live in 2008 - and it was an amazing experience. We played the future and thus 'created' one. In this way it is parallel to 'real life'. We each do create our own reality via our beliefs and perceptions. Awesome experience.
@wegwagvideos thanks a lot for your insightful comment. I know of people who are designing an amazing game that is called Oasis 2012, it would be great to have your input there. You can find the group Oasis 2012 by googling it on facebook -it's the ony group named like that. Cheers. Marco
the world will go under 2012 anyway so dont care about the future, just see you got a gun so you can kill yourself before you die in a brutal, painfull way..
Absolutely imposible to predict the future, if everyone could predict the future every one would be sitting on the beach sipping orange juce with the money from the share market. The financial problems are proof we cant predict the future.I don't know exactley what im going to do tomorrrow. or whats going to happen next year.
Dear god edit your video. Video don't start till 5:00 wtf?

Rewarding real money for winning a game would draw more people in I think.

The future is more often than not the opposite of what is expected.

you need to change your expectation... just don't be too specific and the future is quite predictable.

?? she actually says at 21:30 that "investing" more than 20hrs/week is perfectly rational, because games make us happier than real life?
well, by that analogy, I could say that taking drugs is perfectly rational because it makes you more happy than the real life...
Perhaps some theoretical game could really be useful, but face the facts, kids mostly waste (not invest) their time on violent and similar games...
It seems that game lobby is really strong when she talks like this on Stanford.
