Squad Leader and Advanced Squad Leader

Yeah so i was going to tell you about how i started thinking of my job as a game.

Well, i also think about it a lot in military terms. There's no ranks in private industry, well, there's of course jobs, but they're not so stratified and uniform as the military. More in terms of this guy leads a group of guys, (keeps tabs on them, is responsible for them). He has levels above him, that keep track of a group of guys like him. And so on up.
And the guys he leads, interface with the actual "stuff". The job itself.

I've been thinking a lot lately about being a leader. What good leaders do, bad leaders, what they do.

Thinking a lot about games. I said iphone games are a lot different. They are. In some ways they're better. They've had to simplify and so have honed in on essences of gameplay experiences, building blocks, of games.

it's interesting.
