Video Games, The Human Game, And The Business Game ...

I recently expressed appreciation in the form of money for a Playstation 3 video game center. I did it to play video games myself and also to play with my kids, Ali and Aidan.
The interesting thing about video games is that many of them were created from blockbuster Hollywood movies -- like Batman, Harry Potter, the Bourne spy series, etc.
When you watch a movie, it's a passive experience for you. You sit and watch. It's very cool, but it's also a "flat" experience in many ways.
With video games based on a movie, you get to enhance the overall experience because you get to participate in the action and story line.
You get to immerse yourself in stories, like the movies, get to know and follow characters, like in the movies, and experience the environments created for them (like Hogwarts in Harry Potter, Europe in the Bourne series, Gotham City in Batman).
But with the video games, you don't just sit and watch. You get to do things, make choices for the characters, explore various options in the scenes and story line, etc.
It creates a deeper, more rich and fulfilling experience.
As I played the Playstation games myself and with my kids, it dawned on me that this is an excellent metaphor for The Real And True Reason you're here playing The Human Game (and The Business Game).
You came here to play a game, The Human Game (and The Business Game), to have fun (like so many people who play video games and enjoy them), and to have incredibly rich and fulfilling Human Game (and Business Game) experiences -- that you're an incredibly active participant in.
Plus, in Phase 2, the nature of the stories, options, choices, etc. change and expand to give you even more possibilities to play for the sheer pleasure of playing -- including when you start paying The New Business Game.

WOW ! . . . another "cookie" ! . . . Glad I'm not on a diet !
Do you have the PS3 sensor/video camera?
Fun stuff!
Nope. What's a sensor/video camera?
It's like the Nintendo Wii but also acts as a camera of sorts - inserts your image into certain games.
I think you and your kids would love it.

Hi Robert, :-D
I'm so glad I found (created! ;-)) this Blog. I'm working with the Process, and I'm playing with your book for the third time.
Lot's of Eggs, and lots of discomfort..
But it's a great picture, to see life a bit like a video game..
C ya!
Greetings from Denmark,

I'll check out the camera and sensor, thanks!
Lots of eggs, lots of discomfort, but tremendous possibilities as you knock out the cloud cover!!
