Seeing this series of videos of old people playing with the Nintendo Wii was really impressive. They’re having as much or more fun than if they were, say, miniature golfing for real. If I had designed the Wii, this would be very rewarding – look how happy the woman is towards the end of the clip!

A friend of mine who is going into the gaming industry said he was tired of feeling “worthless” when he finished playing a game. I know what he means – after 3 hours of WarCraft, I used to feel terrible. Maybe the Wii is the beginning of a new kind of gaming…
