Al Gore’s Reality Drop Game Is a Small Step Towards Climate Change Awareness
I have to say this is pretty much the most uninspiring example of gamification I’ve seen and from Al Gore no less realitydrop.org

It’s easy to see why Jane McGonigal and other commentators might loathe Al Gore’s new game social sharing game “Reality Drop.” It feels like it was written by your dorky middle-aged Dad who only knows how to speak corny, and judging by the pop culture gurus she associates with, Jane is probably disappointed that during this game Al Gore doesn’t pop out of stage curtains in front of a TV studio audience to scream “look under your seat -Reality has dropped! You win a Prius! You win a Prius! Everybody wins a Prius”
After playing Reality Drop, I find it might be helpful for us to collectively lighten up.
