This week, we are asked to watch the Jane McGonagall Ted Talk. She tells us that game play people could solve more problems in real lives when they play more video games. I am interested in this topic, because to be honest, I like play video games, but during I play the games, I don’t find anything that is positive for human beings expect being relax. In the video, McGonigal said that “gamers are super-powerful hopeful individuals”, they are so determined to win and work hard to achieve their goals with their strategy and survival, and then they will be given positive rewards when they are succeeding. Indeed, when I play games, I felt the same way; however, I didn’t connect games with real life. Yes, I feel that I have to keep working harder to complete the level and I can’t give up. After watching this video, I ask myself, isn’t game similar to real life? We are born, then we grow up. Which means we get higher level, moreover, we have to deal with harder missions when we reach high level. Back to real life, we do totally different stuffs when we are children and adults.

Thank you for sharing your idea with us, Houzhi. Actually, I’m not a fans of game so I’m feel happy to see what a gamer’s feel in their life. In the video it mentioned that people will change their attitude of their life because of the game. People will eager to success in their life. However, you mentioned that you didn’t connect the game and your life? So I just curious how you consider the relationship about your life and game? Maybe you just consider game as an other form of entertainment?
