The Michael’s are on together and get to talk about some incredible architecture, the long tail, and generational change before we jump in deep on some cool and fun games to help change the way you do things. Both Habit RPG and Chore Wars are great ways of leveraging your love of Dungeons & Dragons to help you game your way to new behaviors. We even talk a bit about how we can leverage this to improve our attendance for the show! We also include a great listener link on gamefication. We wrap it up with a bit of Nimble Quest: Go check out a video we’ve posted here and .

Comments Off on Episode 39 – Dating Google

While Michael M. is hiding out in central Europe, Phaedra and Michael R. have some fun speculating how you can use Google glasses while dating your customers. Well not dating your customers, but during courtship. Wait, not really courtship, but while in sales. Can Google glasses really help your sales force and your customers connect better? We think so, and so we talk about it.

Do you think that Google glasses are in your future? What business games do you foresee bring to your workplace?

Will it cause a new era of fake sincerity? Or will it cause an era of CIA like recall?

Let us know what you think!

Comments Off on Episode 38 – Dragon Box

The Michael’s are on together, unfortunately Phaedra could not make it this week due to unforeseen events. We talk about the game Dragon Box, which helps little kids learn the concepts of Algebra. The game so interested Michael M. that he actually shelled out money for the game and is testing it out on his own kids.

We then go down on a bit of a rathole on can you truly use your tablet for content creation, or is it just a consumption device. Is MyScript Calculator content creation?

We also theorize about the new Facebook game – “Bang with Friends” and how you can use it at your work place. Talk about an exciting show! Could this be a great parallel to security testing? Will this game break your heart – just like the Simpson’s Tapped Out? Do you have your golden ticket?
