NDSL

發文者為 candyz 於 五月 21, 2007

Wii 很熱門,但目前電玩界的真正霸主,則是 NDSL
因為玩 Wii 才接觸 NDSL,最後還是敗了…Orz

NDSL

Wii 適合多人一起同樂,不過,我都是一個人在玩,或許 NDSL 才是更適合我的主機

目前手邊的 3C 電子產品有:
Canon DC、SE Mobile Phone、iPod nano、NDSL 等等
一次出門都得帶好多個出去

我真正想要的是一台:
能夠打電話
能夠照相、錄影
能夠聽音樂、看照片、影片
還能夠玩遊戲
如果還有 PDA 功能及 GPS 系統
那就更完美了

不知道要等到哪天,我才能只帶一台機器出門,就可以符合以上所有我的需求…:p

丁丁是個名人

發文者為 candyz 於 五月 8, 2007

最近丁丁爆紅,各大部落都在上演丁丁大戰野狗大的戲碼
丁丁頻頻放大絕,殺得野狗大爆氣紅血
終於惹火了野狗大,逼得野狗大紅血爆氣放無雙,展開絕地大反擊

丁丁真的不只是個人才,丁丁還是個不折不扣腦袋淨重 2074g 的名人 (2074=乎恁氣死)

在 Wii 頭腦柔軟體操學院的測試下,有圖有真相:
高達 481g 的數字能力 (難怪那麼會賺錢)
只有 361g 的分析能力 (難怪常常出包)
只有 335g 的知覺能力 (難怪不知不覺,不管用戶怎麼罵都沒用…XD)

遲來的心得-參加體驗式學習活力營與Wii的頭腦柔軟體操學院

發文者為 candyz 於 五月 4, 2007

上個月底參加了公司為中階主管所舉辦的團隊共識活力營
這是一個體驗式的學習課程,藉由玩團體遊戲來激發及省思、並從中學習
我算是第一次接觸這樣的課程,很新鮮,也覺得很有收穫
為什麼是遲來的心得呢?其實一些重點及經驗,我自己早有紀錄下來只是沒有公布在 blog 上
由於最近都是在玩 Wii 的頭腦柔軟體操學院
突然讓我在兩者之間有了連結
其實這兩者的遊戲及思維是很類似的
頭腦柔軟體操學院真是個好遊戲…:p

參加體驗營讓我學到的主題是: 『創新、整合、執行』
在資源有限的情況下,要如何去跳脫框框?如何去「創新」?想出更好的方法來達成目標
人人都不要的負數,換個思維,也可以變成人人搶著要的王牌,重點是如何有效的去整合
確實的執行,不放棄,持續進步,同時也要兼顧品質,更要有居安思危的觀念
規則是資源而不是限制,要充分了解規則,才能跳出框框,才會有創新
一開始做出快速且正確的判斷也是很重要的,才不會浪費資源,做白工

我在玩頭腦柔軟體操學院時,例如數字加總這個小遊戲

題目要 15,但有 2 3 5 7 8 還幾個,最簡單的想法是,7+8=15,所以打 2 3 5 打掉就對了
但這樣要敲三次,2+3+5=10,若是只敲 2+8 or 3+7,一樣可以過關,但相對的只要敲兩次就夠了
這樣速度就會加快(敲兩次一定比較敲三次快),分數也會更高

像分析中的早擊

就是要快速並準確的判斷,快沒有用,選錯一樣是沒有分數的

像知覺裡的選出其中一個跟其他三個不同的

這個就是在跳出框框,要同時注意很多地方,而不是只專注在一個錯的地方來找答案

總之,玩頭腦柔軟體操學院的小遊戲,都跟我在上課時所玩所遊戲很類似
因此,有感而發…:p

BTW, 打個廣告
我的 Wii Number: 5506 2963 6411 5706
有玩頭腦柔軟體操學院的朋友,可以把我加入好友名單來互相分享交換成績…

目前紀錄:
11白金
47金
1銀
1銅

最高七段 1798g

Creative Zen Stone — 還需要更多的「破框思維」

發文者為 candyz 於 五月 4, 2007


在 Gizmodo 上看到 Creative Introduces Teeny Tiny Zen Stone

常常看到 ooo 推出了 iPod Killer、xxx 又推出了 iPod Killer
但直到目前為止,那些號稱是 iPod Killer 的,真的有打敗 iPod 嗎?
很明顯的 「沒有」

這讓我想到了一個很關鍵的重點:『破框思維』
那些產品有「創新」嗎? 沒有
它們只是跟在 iPod 後面的腳步在走,只是在模仿外型等等
直到目前為止,還是這樣,完全沒有跳出框框
殊不知,iPod 除了外型簡潔,功能簡單易用外,它的特點就是在於人性化的操作介面
以及背後強大的 iTune Music Store 的支援
但是它 的競爭者,卻還是一直專注在外型、功能上面,而沒去思考其他成功的關鍵因素(或是知道卻沒有實際去執行)
這樣,無法跳脫框框,當然就很難成功

另外再舉一個最近很紅的例子: Wii
當大家的焦點都放在聲光效果上時,一昧的追求更好的畫質、影像 (Xbox 360 及 PS3 都支援到 1080p/i 了)
另外,對於遊戲的操作也越來越複雜(要出個絕操要按 n 個鍵,得記憶一大堆招式)
似乎大家都被高畫質給框住了
要比畫質 NGC 比 PS2 好,但 NGC 還是陣亡了
而任天堂的 Wii 就來個另類思考,新的像搖控器的手把,強調遊戲性而不追求高畫質
完全跳出舊有的框框思維,也成功了造就了這一波的 Wii 旋風

不管任何事,當到達了一個瓶頸時,有時候,真的是需要冷靜的思考一下
要如何「創新」?如何跳出框框?
或許,就會有意外的收穫哦…:)
