Games Impact People

Dismissed like new media often is, video games fell into the mental category of “Waste of Time” for a generation. Even those who partook and enjoyed games did so believing them pointless pursuits.
Those years of obscurity are over. The bigger and flashier games are but a symptom of the real impact of play empowered by digital technology.
Games shaped the people who now shape the world.

The man behind the mic. . . and the audio editor . . . and the social media . . . this show is my fault.
By day, I am an engineer at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
Video games have been a frequent character in my life’s story: from the educational games I played as a kid, to making a best friend by helping him cheese his way through Majora’s Mask with a guide book, to distracting me from studying, and they fascinate me even now.
