◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Which games that were mentioned in the discussion do you want to play? World Without Oil, Superstruct, and the last one made by the World Bank Insitute.
I choose the game which is the World Bank Insitute. It is because it will give me some knowledge. In other game world, people will die when someone is not able to win.
2. If you were given the chance to invent a game, what would it be? Explain the structure or plot of the game.
Of course, the game I will create is a flags quiz. Although there are some flag quizzes in the internet, those are with three multiple choices. I want to turn it more difficult so playerscan get more knowledge. And then, we can know the flags of countries and collect photos like country's living people, superb views and delicious foods. When you finish playing the game, your feeling is like you have goen a trip around the world.
3. After reading this TED discussion, do you have any new learnings about playing games? Do you believe that playing games can save the world?
No, I don't believe that playing games can save the world.
However, playing games might not be a bad thing, as long as you have a purpose in doing it. Before I read this article, I didn't like plaing games. I thought that it's a waste of time.
What I learned from this article is that should have a purpose when you do something and you should not go away from the real world. You can achive more. If so, you can be a main character, certainly in the real world like playing games.
Your life will be greater than being in the game world.

Jane McGonigal: Gaming can make a better world, Lesson4
Summary
Why do people play games anyway?
In an ancient time, people seemed still playing game when they had had an experience a severe famine. People had no food to eat. However, playing the game gave them engagment and satisfaction. And then the game seemed to be used to go out in search of a new place to live.
Thus, it's suggested why they played games was to get away from the real world where there are a lot of problems and they had no feeling of satisfaction.
She said that it led to save the entire civilization.
Can't we use it nowadays also ?
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Do you have a special story that is related to a game? Like making friends while playing a game, creating strong bonds, and so on.
No, I don't have. I had an experience playing dance game every night a term of three or four months. I could make new friends while playing a game and I could enjoy it though I thought that the freindship won't last long. They found other important purpoes and went away from there.
2. Why do you think could old Lydians achieve their epic win? Explain their background in your own words.
I think that old Lydians achievement was not their epic wins. It is because by chance, their old civilization might remain but they would be many lives that will be sacrificed. They would have no choice.
3. Do you believe that just by playing a game, we can solve-real world problems? Explain your answer.
No, I don't think so. It is because I think that by playing games, only winners can get attention. These winners can never solve-real world problems.

Games give us four superpowers which said urgent optimism, weaving a tight social fabric, blissful productivity, and epic meaning. It makes us virtuosos at games.
Urgent optimism is the desire of thinking a reasonable hope of success.
Weaving a tight social fabric requires lot of connections of bonds, trust and cooperation which are built up by playing a game together.
Blissful productivity means to be able to feel better to work hard and raise productivity, if people are given the right work.
Epic meaning is having an epic knowledge and stories, even though it's games.
Those feelings give gamers a perfect sense to spend more time in the virtual world than the real world.
Can people succeed more if the real world is more similar to the game world ?
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. What do you consider as the most important virtue in both gaming world and the real world? Urgent optimism, weaving a tight social fabric, blissful productivity, and epic meaning?
The most important virtue I consider is blissful productivity. It is important to feel better while working hard and raise productivity.
It will make people happy to work more.
2. Do you think gamers who are virtuosos at these 4 superpowers can succeed in the real world?
No, I don't think so. I think that they have just escaped to the game world. They can't succeed in the real world, therefore they will play games.
3. Do you think that the game world is better than the real world? Why or why not?
No, I don't think so. I think that the real world is better than the game world, even if the real world is hard or tight. It is because in the real world, the main character is yourself. In the game world, fighting a hero is not yourself. A hero is only controlled by you in the game world.

1.Have you had any positive feedback from anyone before, either in the real world or in the gaming world? Compare your feelings for both feedback.
Yes, I have. Even though, it was very small, I have had it in the real world when I got small success.
I am not good at playing games, therefore, it is not possible for me to gain success in games.
2.Why do you think the world of gaming is comfortable compared to the real world?
I think that in the real world, that will be more complex. It is because the answers are not just two: yes and no or good and bad. And then, I fear to lose something and I have compassionate feelings. The emotion block my actions.
3.What will gamers achieve (talents, opportunities, or skills) if they spend 10,000 hours of gaming hours?
In the game world, they will be able to achieve all those things though I think that they won't achieve anythig in the real world and they won't be able to come back. It means gaming too different from reality.
