A) Jane McGonial. She is a game designer, who had previously spent 3 months in bed wishing she was dead. Now Prior to this she had hit her head which resulted in an concussion. To better herself and get rid of her suicidal thoughts she designed the game SuperBetter.
B) The talk is about, how much games can change our lives. The particular game she developed will actually prolong your life! And she explains how in the presentation. All the factors that have to do with our mood, our physical being, and our mood.
C) I thought the talk was very inspiring. How she overcame this, with not the game, but creating the game. And how when she was at her lowest, she din't give up. She tried to help herself. And in doing so she creating a path for others to gain on as well. All the lives she changed by just staying strong. She definitely changed my process of thinking. 'Why would I stay down when I can pick myself up and prolong a happy well lived life?' Theres no reasonable explination not to. So why not?
D) I think I will try this game out. It obviously works so I have nothing to lose. Only time to gain...
