Your Silent Partner - Subconscious
After reading the topic on "Your Silent Partner" in the book 'Art of Game Design", I like to narrate a personal experience.
In 1992 one evening I wanted to go and play Basketball with some of my friends. I was getting ready but my Subconscious kept saying not to go! Inspite of its warning I changed my clothes and wore my sports shoes ... My Subconscious started shouting "DO NOT GO" - but I did not listen. I said "I will only play for half-an-hour or so" and went to play.
Within a few minutes of play, I fell down and my right knee twisted and my right ACL - Anterior Cruciating Ligament, was broke! I couldn't walk and my knees swelt! This caused long suffering and even to this day I regret that I did not listen to the inner voice on that day!
