Some of you may find this interesting. Here is a TED talk about games becoming a part of everyday life:

Here's the abstract: Games are invading the real world -- and the runaway popularity of Farmville and Guitar Hero is just the beginning, says Jesse Schell. At the DICE Summit, he makes a startling prediction: a future where 1-ups and experience points break "out of the box" and into every part of our daily lives.

I don't play phantasy phootball. I win.

Games-like tasks are more interesting than the ordinary ones. Fact.

EDIT:
I hate that guy and 99% of what he says. Can we make it into a game for me to shoot him?

REAL MEN DONT PLAY. THEY WIN.

I'm sure someone here could make that flash game. I thought it was cool the one part where he was saying some teachers hand out experience points so you can level up your grade.

I remember back in the day when someone made one using Barney. Good times.

That's the first thing I thought of too! I played that game obsessively in 3rd grade!!! haha cool

That guy was saying everyone plays, well i don't, so i win over his argument. But sure you can reach same conclusion from that as well.

Oh yeah I remember watching that. It's such a good speech and very well written. I even wrote an essay on the same exact topic. Kind of a scary future is it not?

[Peralisc2]

Doubt they do that. It's easier for them to keep things set how they want with the money system and all the downsides that come along ... ^^

Besides that game system is damn complicated.
