So you want to be a hero - choose your character

Ken je dat spelletje van vroeger op school? Ik ga op reis en
ik neem mee… een tandenborstel! Iedere deelnemer aan het spelletje mag na het
opnoemen van wat de voorgaande spelers meenemen zelf iets toevoegen.
Spelletjes waar je echt in gaat bepalen bewust of onbewust je
blik op de wereld. Dat hebben we allemaal, <overslaande Balkenende stem>toch?!</overslaande Balkenende stem>.
Vroeger speelde ik alle adventure games waar ik maar m’n handen op
kon leggen, vooral die van Sierra en Lucas Arts. Zo’n spel speelde ik dan eindeloos op
de IBM 8086 PC van m'n vader met een stapel van 10 van die geweldig grote 5 ¼ inch floppies er naast.
Dus stel nou dat je op avonturenreis door ondernemersland,
wat neem je mee? Nou… in eerste instantie dus vooral jezelf .
Travel light heet dat geloof ik.
In een van de mooiste adventure games die gespeeld heb (we schrijven 1989), hero’s
quest I “the quest for glory”mag je aan het begin van het spel een soort
karakter kiezen. De mogelijke opties zijn ‘fighter’, ‘thief’ en ‘wizard’. Het
karakter is eigenlijk hetzelfde figuur, maar elke optie heeft zijn eigen unieke
eigenschappen. Zo is een fighter vooral goed in bruut geweld, een thief is ‘behendig’
en de wizard kan toveren. (voor de kenners: het plaatje is van quest for glory III, dus ziet er 'modern' uit)
Aan het begin van mijn eigen quest for glory kies ik voor de
wizard. Voor bruut geweld ben ik niet dominant of ehm... bruut genoeg. Sneaky
dingen doen past ook niet echt bij een goed opgevoede Open Dictator vind ik zelf. We houden dus
over: magie.
Gelukkig staat het internet vol met waarheden die je kan
quoten om je eigen geloofwaardigheid te vergoten (ik zei het niet, maar die en
die…). Dus is geloven in wat magie onzin? Nou neem het niet van mij aan, maar pak
deze quote van Arthur C. Clarke. (wie kent ‘m niet): “Any
sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”. De plasma (of Tesla) lamp zoals je die hierboven ziet geeft me het vertrouwen dat dit wel aardig klopt.
Om te beschrijven waar m'n gedachten naar uit gaan heb ik nu nog te veel woorden nodig. Het tempo gaat omhoog en ik ga meer gesprekken filmen (als mensen dat ok vinden). Steekwoorden: innovatie processen, internet, muziek.
Binnenkort neem ik een nieuwe Open Bitterbal op met @FrankMeeuwsen
en zal de video hier op de blog posten. Frank begint zelf per april 2009 aan
wat hij zelf “The
Incredible Adventure” (uiteraard met blog) noemt. Ik ben benieuwd voor
welk karakter hij gaat.

Wat een leuk verhaal en heldere aansprekende analogie vwb ondernemerschap. Ik ben niet zo van de 'je bent wat je kiest te zijn' filosofie, maar zoals het hier staat kan ik mij er wel in vinden. Reply to this

Thank you, it's very inspiring article it might be very hospitable for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a continuous flow of academic assignments and tasks, I had a brilliant idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism checker. I was so tired that I did not care for what can commence when my academic work was written by other side person. To my awesome surprise, research paper was divine the price I paid for it. I was so satisfied with the quality and now everytime i use this service. Reply to this
