There is a new generation of video games which are being made so difficult, that many players last no longer than 10 seconds. Yet it is the very nature of the ultimate challenge that keeps many people coming back time and again, just as we need to always be on the look out for Blue Moon Opportunities that completely change our lives.
One producer of video games told us, “Ikaruga, re-released their latest video game in April for Microsoft Xbox’s Live Arcade. It is so difficult that some users post their best performances on YouTube.”
A video game researcher at MIT, Jesper Juul, says “There is an art to exasperating people in such a way that it keeps them interested in the game.” This is what makes video games different from all other forms of creative media. It’s all about the feeling of inadequacy and how stupid it makes you feel to get stuck somewhere. Juul explains “People love the rush it gives them when they eventually achieve. Isn’t that why athletes push themselves to the point of no return and beyond, so as to achieve a medal at the Olympics? It’s all about the feeling of satisfaction and being able to outperform others.”
It is facing the same impossible odds that pushed Wendy and Rick to take up the challenge and create Win a Resort and the Blue Moon Opportunity. It is the challenges of life that push us to give of our best, no matter what situation we find ourselves in. It’s all about how to think outside the box.
Rick and Wendy retired to a tropical island, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. It’s great living in the Happiest Country on Earth and the home of South Pacific Survivors. The best decision we ever made.
