Okay, normally I wouldn't post each and every slide from a presentation, but Will Wright's presentation was so funny that these slides are worth the bandwidth.

Will's solution to the problem was creating an intelligent agent with all of these properties.

The agent would come pre-installed on USB cards and automatically install itself onto your computer.

The "game" would involve the user interacting with Emily during their everyday computer use. Here Emily starts an IM conversation with Will.

Eventually this concept can be expanded to other agents.
