Rex cites the game Journey as a great example of how games can bring people together.

Can you think of some other examples of titles that help forge a community? What is it specifically about those games which lend themselves to that process?
How could you give yourself more opportunities to make things, as Rex suggests? This is often a function of time and confidence, so giving yourself permission to spend time on developing your own skills is a hugely important part of the process.
