1.) Jane McGonigal: The game that can give you 10 extra years of life
2.) Jane was bedridden for 3 months and she had suicidal thoughts and decided that she wanted to make a game that will help her feel better which was called Jane the Concussion slayer which later turned into Super Better. She is also a game designer.
3.)A recap of some of the major points of this talk would be from when she talked about her concussion. She said she hit her head really hard and made a game called Super Better. This game was designed to give the person that plays this game 10 extra lives. Or at least make them feel better mentally, physically, and socially. Through out the talk she list the top five regrets people have when they are on their death bed. Most of the regrets that were metioned in the talk could have been resolved through playing the right games.
4.) My reaction to the talk was that I was amazed. I was surprised that there was actually a game that could extend the adverage life span of someone. Another thing that shocked me was that this game she made didn't just extend your life but made you feel better about yourself. Another thought that I had was that top five common regrets could be resolved with just playing video games. I think she really thought this game out.
