Yeah, its only for the companies to win more money.
And y'know tha t there are millions of people that only eat, watch TV, and play PC games. And they are fat,fat,fat.

Ok first of all, the world is so boring and you lack motivation because all you do all day is go on the damned computer! You go to school, college, and then work, so that you can do things that you enjoy in life, hobbies that you think are fun and full-filling, obviously video games are taking over your guys's minds. Now I'm not saying that I'm not playing video games all day most of the time, because I am, but I don't forget that there are better things to do in life that you work for and that's what motivates you.

Basically what H4rl3quin said.

That is what we call, an epic win.

I lol'd. but meh, dont have much to say on this. Can go both ways...

I personally love playing games, I find that they can make me feel better as far as emotionally goes whenever i'm playing counter strike and go on a streak or something, games can also motivate me to do things such as my homework if my mom threatens to take my PS3 away, if I don't play my games for a day then I will most likely not be in the best mood because of all the real life drama etc which can cause more violence from some people.

Goddammit

But... It has already been used 3 times for non-profit, so obviously it was used for non-profit first O_o
W..t..h... :3

Theory behind it seems sound, and if you actually listen to her you see that she suggests everyone plays 1 hour of game a day. That isn't unreasonable right?
She is pretty much saying that gaming is a preferable pastime because it promotes problem solving and team work. Really, it would be silly to disagree.



It is so fun to troll isn't it?
But do it elsewhere.

Everything you said I've thought about in the past month.

I completely agree.

I think it's fine to complain. I complain all the time, but I never use it as an excuse why I can't do something. The only thing stopping you from doing something is you, and the laws of physics...

I love how she is positive ( have to give em that ) and i also think it is important to focus on real life owrld scale problems as well.

but she makes the remark that gamers are,

positive, resourcefull and "trust" eachother

Wich is not even close to reality.

A "positive" person could say that about real life also, it does not make it true at all though. When games just started to go online it already became clear, real-life bastards get digital to. So that pretty much kills the base "positive" drive of the entire idea.
Whenever i am online i allways encounter at least a few disrespectfull bastards.
And i think the most extreme virus the internet has are people who are so "disconnected" of reality that they think they can treat people like shit online just because it is easy. Which is one of the problems in real life as well, putting people in places were it is easy to treat others like shit, because most of us will utilize such sorts power that way.

Sure we got real life problems, we got a lot of those. Maybe we got these problems in real life because giant corporations rather give well fed people a console instead of doing something incedible with their money.

Also a game like the "OH MY GOD the world is out of oil" linked online, gathering statistics from everyone around the globe might just give giant corporations even more handle on how to do maintain an even buisiness flow and manipulate the market even more.

And last:
She shows a picture that an artist made of a kid that looks zombiefied with vitamine E shortage and then starts her presentation about how she want at least half of the earth population to be like that.

Common people, i know i dont have motivation but her complimenting gamers ( virtuoso ) doesnt make me swallow the load of sh*t they put in front of me.

Btw she has perfect marketing skills, i dont like that

Used for non-profit or not, it hasn't really been done on a mass scale. If you keep saying it's been done for good, why don't any of us recognize those? Are they small and obscure events that involved less than a million people?

The only thing remotely like this in practice now that I know of is customer loyalty programs. Frequent flier miles, casino rewards programs, buy 10 sandwiches get the next one free. These are the only ones I've encountered.
