What video game would you recommend to Jason Calacanis?

Well, I'm thinking Tetris. I don't think it's on Facebook, and I play it on an independent site. "Why Tetris?"

I hear you cry. To be good at the game, you must make the puzzle pieces fit together properly and quite swiftly. An Internet startup is sort of like a puzzle.

Making all the pieces fit together properly is part of the challenge, and putting it together accurately and rapidly is also like an Internet startup. OK, maybe that's a stretch, but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. The puzzle pieces in Tetris are pretty rainbow colors.

They are kind of mesmerizing and certainly hold your attention. For a "bouncy" guy like Jason, this could help with his concentration and focus. There is no money wagered on Tetris, but it is highly competitive.

Jason is competitive, so a good tournament could keep him occupied for quite awhile, with no need to spend the hard-earned dollars from Mahalo. If you misplace a puzzle piece in Tetris, you can blow your entire game in a big hurry. Isn't that sort of like basketball?

If you do not get that ball through the hoop accurately and swiftly, it can really mess up your game! I don't know how to factor the dogs and the Ford Flex in there, but I think the relatively boring nature of a Tetris game would be a good exercise in patience and perhaps even relaxing for our Mr. C!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
