Fav Board Game:
AtmosFear. Super cheesy Video (now DVD) interactive horror board game. Was a time based game in which 6 players had an hour to confront their "worst fear" while the zombie host yells at you.
Favorite Card Game:
War. It's random but I just started learning card games.
Favorite Video Game:
Probably Final Fantasy 8, just because of how fantastic and engaging it was, ICO and Silent Hill for the same reason.
Favorite Sport:
Hmm. Not much of a sports guy but I would have to say Dodgeball.
I think games definitely serve a way higher purpose than mere entertainment value. Games serve as a way to integrate our multiple intelligences into certain task and also serve as great social tools for engagement. So they obviously have a lot of potential.
Concepts:
1. Good Character/Theme Design
2. Engaging Concept
3. Engaging Interface

I won 20,000 at a casino but they didn't give me the money cuz I was a minor.
I saw homeless man defecate himself on crowded bus down Van Ness Ave. Everyone had to be evacuated.
