Consider that daily life can be viewed as three activities. Work, Sleep, and Games. Work is the stuff you do to stay alive. Sleep is the stuff you do keep working. Games are what you do that don't support work and sleep directly. So eating is perhaps both work and sleep. Eating good food makes it a game. Commuting doesn't pay -so one cranks the tunes and decides who to let cut in, giving us a game. Chatting with someone or staring at the tube or playing chess or gardening (if you are not a farmer) are games. They keep that throbbing jello between your ears operating. Rationalization, flaming others and voting are games. The more we can put game into our life by choice the happier we seem to get. If work is part a game, going is less onerous. So 'up' your game time.
I am just not sure changing the name is worth much thought.
