Portal: A game that can enhance your cognitive...
Originally released back in the fall of 2007 as part of Valve’s The Orange Box, Portal was the breakout hit of the epic compilation package. This original, darkly humorous and brilliant little puzzle game has quickly developed a cult-like following and is arguably one of the most important video game releases of the last decade. In Portal, you control a protagonist named Chell, who is ...

Kingdom Hearts - The Short and Honest Version -...
The story begins with Haley Joel Osment (aka SORA) thinking out loud.
SORA: I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this real, or not? How did it come to this? I almost won an Oscar before I started high school, how did I end up doing voice acting?
Utada Hikaru is introduced to the United States via crappy techno remix. We are then treated to some unskipable cut scenes for the next 30-40 hours.
After SORA falls a lot, a voice gives him vague tips, and he fights some monsters, including a freaking huge shadow thing.
SORA: Wait, is this supposed to represent my dark side? It's fucking huge! Was I Hitler in a past life or something?
SORA kills the monster by whacking its hands and face with a large key. This is painfully easy.
Eventually, SORA wakes up on an island consisting of himself, his friends, and Final Fantasy characters who have no impact on the plot.
SORA meets KAIRI, as well as RIKU'S MASSIVE BICEPS
KAIRI: SORA, wake up. We need to finish the raft.
SORA: You mean the piece of wood with a sail?
KAIRI: Yeah.
SORA: With no protection from UV rays, and has no medical equipment of any kind?
KAIRI: The Same.
SORA: Which we're stocking with barely enough food and water to support one person for a few days, let alone three people on a probably lengthy voyage?
KAIRI: Yup.
SORA: With less than preferable space to provide comfort for us, which, by day two will do little to help the unbearable stench caused by our unwashed, filthy bodies?
KAIRI: Uh-huh.
SORA: LET'S DO IT.

Venturebeat Interviews The Final Fantasy Founder -...
VB: Facebook has become extremely popular during the time you have been making this game. How does Final Fantasy fit into this era of gaming where Facebook is becoming so important?
YW: In terms of using social networking, we can use them to promote our games. The more important question is how to use the social networks as the core of our games. We have done this in Japan, but we have not done...

This quote makes me think about how this could...
Some people miss this point: They think of adoption success in a company as the number of wikis, blogs, tweets, and Facebook pages that people have created and used. In other words, they measure success as the activity level. But that’s the same as saying, “in our company, we have lots of meetings so we must be doing something right.” As enterprise 2.0 expert Oliver Marks told...

Idea #3 - Life the RPG
You start off for the first few years pooing in your underwear, shoving crayons up your nose, acquiring a sense of what makes you ill when you eat it. 5 years in and you start to understand what the funny squiggly stuff all over the UI is, and that it actually makes some sense when you discover the secret code. 10 years in and you’ve realised that this game actually sucks, but you’ve...
