Video Game Show Says Gamers Are Highly Effective People

Post by Tami »

[b]Habit 1: Be Proactive[/b]

Highly effective people improve their lives through things that they can influence. What more influence do you want than that which is obtained playing RPG games?

[b]Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind[/b]

Ever met a gamer that began a game without the thought of ending their opponents?

[b]Habit 3: Put First Things First[/b]

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing proper balance between production and building production capacity? Gamers spend all day and night doing what fits into their games' mission, observing proper balance between good hand and eye coordination.

Habit 4: Think Win/Win[/b]

I think it goes without saying that all gamers think about is winning and a bit about shooting & blowing stuff up.

[b]Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood[/b]

Gamers always seek to understand the game, and only then kill all that gets in his or her way for the sole reason of being understood.

[b]Habit 6: Synergize[/b]

Through online communication, gamers find ways to leverage individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Body parts that is.

[b]Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw[/b]

Gamers take time from game play to buy more games. Marinating a balance among these two dimensions isn't easy when you don't have a job. Luckily for gamers, petty task like sharpening saw blades, knives, swords, and spears aren't necessary in virtual game worlds. Reloading seems to be the more annoying thing gamers deal with.

Analogy over!

Executive producer Jace Hall & Director/ producer Todd Roy of the video game show "The Jace Hall Show" seek 5-6 hardcore video gamers. i.e. 80-120 hour a week gamers who know their stuff. Our goal: To help outsiders understand who / what we really are and daily sacrifices made to live in a world where almost no one gets it.

To qualify you must:
-- live with at least one interviewable parent.
-- have one or more siblings that aren't gamers.
-- be between ages of 18 and 35.
-- divide some attention for interviews during game play.
-- be available to fly out to our green screen studio in Los Angeles for 2 days.

-- believe that the world is full of people just wasting time working 9-5 jobs.
