@halo6534 Your username is "halo." You're on the internet. You're on the internet registered on a website to make comments and commenting on a video about games.

And you're calling someone a "facking nerd?"

@halo6534 You never heard of her and you notice that she wears the same clothes in two different conferences? Get a life.

On topic: I think Jane McGonigal is a genius. She's the next level of world guru for the coming decade.

@halo6534 on a youtube discussion. Try not to, it's offensive, use gay, or homosexual and don't use it to insult someone, that's about 10 years in the past brother.

By the way, appearance is subjective, you can't tell someone what they see, or say that some ones evaluation is wrong and yours right, you both have different eyes and different minds and therefore see different people. Moreover I don't see why her looks entered the discussion, she's talking about how work not her face.

@halo6534 games included. You cannot say that playing games is not an experience which happens to you. Of course McGonigal can distinguish between realities, she is acknowledging how the two influence one another, for the constant, mediating in both, is yourself. Also, does it matter what clothes she's wearing, or how many she owns, assuming that success is represented by the size of your wardrobe is seriously incorrect. However all that aside, you resorted to calling someone a faggot...

@halo6534 Institute for the Future, is an organisation which receives funding from the World Bank Institute, to innovate and progress the discussion on video games, their applications, and potential place in the future. Their job is not to create the next best selling game, they are not a profiting organisation, their success is not measured in money but ideas. Everything we come into contact with influences and teaches us, we are the sum of our life experiences, no phenomena is less valuable...
