Video games are bigger than movies. Everyone?s a gamer. But? most of my friends don?t like video games. Why? Maybe everything we know is wrong. Maybe the multitudes of similar people with similar interests who dominate the games industry workforce have made games that are relevant to them, but not to many other people. In a world where we are all overwhelmed with constant shock and change, what are my friends looking for in their entertainment? What video games would be more culturally relevant to more people? In this talk I?ll discuss some answers to those questions, as well as some techniques I?m using to discover and explore ideas beyond the usual game design tropes and cliches.
