Jesse Schell

"Jesse Schell?s talk about the future of game design as it invades the real world is just astounding. If you do experience design of any kind it?ll be the most valuable (and entertaining) 20 minutes you?ll spend all week. "

If just half of what he is saying in the later parts becomes reality then its a very scary future we are heading towards. Facebook on the other hand I had no idea it was so influential and makes a lot of people very rich! Damn :|

cant help but get the feeling like a bomb may go off at any moment during his presentation, and only he knows when...

:laugh: !!!

It did have its moments where I thought he was throw something at me. It's something about the way he speaks!

love the jab at the ipad.

I'm not sure I completely agree with him, but he does raise a lot of valid points, especially when he was talking about the psychological connections these weirdly successful games have had. He also raises some interesting ideas about some future products, but some I just don't believe will happen, like the Coke can having wifi and a touch screen able to browse the intenet. Still, it was an interesting watch. Thanks for posting it.

What has this guy actually done though aside from his work with Disney and publishing a book? From what I can tell that's all he's done.

I loved the jab too, but it was spot on..

Jesse Schell has taught Game Design and led research projects at Carnegie Mellon?s Entertainment Technology Center since 2002. Jesse is also the CEO of Pittsburgh?s largest videogame studio, Schell Games, and the former chairman of the International Game Developers Association. In 2004, he was named one of the world?s Top 100 Young Innovators by Technology Review, MIT?s magazine of innovation. Before coming to Carnegie Mellon, he was the Creative Director of the Disney Virtual Reality Studio, where he spent seven years as designer, programmer and manager on several projects for Disney theme parks and Disney Online. Before that, he was a software engineer at IBM and Bell Communications Research, and a writer, director, performer, juggler, comedian, and circus artist for both Freihofer's Mime Circus and the Juggler's Guild.

He's nothing short of a very eccentric ..genius..

Personally I am more worried as he raised the idea that privacy will inevitably be gone. And we will be watched like hawks, our habits will be recorded and everything we do will impact how they throw marketing at us!

Also the segment on how we crazy reality and nature is spot on. People have lived in a concrete jungle for so long that a real one would completely crush them.
