OK, so let’s look at the changes in my life in the last week. I’ve finally found a lawyer I like, but we’re playing some serious phone tag, so once again the friggin’ book is delayed. Finally got a haircut, which always coincides we me feeling happier since I don’t have so much weight pressing down on my brain.

But the real improvement is my phone. Now, I don’t believe my G1 is a complete and total improvement - I believe it’s a sad state of affairs that I can’t play games on my phone. No, REAL games, not just casual bubble popping, match the color and shape games. Granted, those seem to be making the most money these days, like Bejeweled.

So I don’t interact with my phone as much and frankly, the interface, while beautiful needs the equivalent of a shell (like a unix shell, not sea shell… well, that too, but I mix my metaphor with my reality if I think too much on that) for ease of use.

What could we do? Neopets for adults… well, mature audiences… no… basically an interaction toy that show other toys, like how Spore was marketed but on the G1. With fun. But not Pokemons. A player can interact with the toy solo and if he wants, he could play against others.

Strange, somehow I still feel I’m talking with the wrong metaphor. OK, let’s try this again, but give it a gameplay context.

So, let’s say you’re a wizard of a city state and your job is to make your kingdom powerful and big. Other players are the neighbors around you. On your G1, you could play solo where you work to improve capitalize on your resources. Cooperatively, you could work commerce and trade with other kingdoms. Large scale decisions for cooperative play comes to bare with world-events, say disasters (dragons, barbarian hordes).

Over time, it could become a fairly complicated and decent play.

On a G1… you know, the *cool* phone.

*SIGH*
