Full Episode
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. You know, gamers come in all different types and have vastly different reasons for the games they play and why they love them. From the hardcore competitive gamers that love a challenge to the chill, relaxed gamers that want nothing more than to tend their farms.
The psychology of gaming is a fascinating and oftenly debated subject, and that's what we're diving into on today's episode. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me, he still refuses to try Path of Exile 2, and if a game involves dodge rolling, he's instantly skeptical. Maybe today we'll find out why he's so weird.
It's Ryan. Listen, listen, we figured out last time with the sushi roll with the crab's treasure and stuff. No, we're not going there, Ryan. Yeah, just rolls aren't for me, man. That's all it is. Oh, man. Oh, man. And yet I know you love sushis. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Right.
And joining us, he's got an actual PhD in psychology, has been a lifelong gamer. He's one of us and has made analyzing gamers, both his career and passion. It's the one, the only Jamie Madigan.
Hey, guys.
All right.
Thanks for having me on.
Oh, man. We are so pumped to have you, Jamie. Thank you so much for being here with us. Absolutely. Yeah. So just to give our listeners an introduction to you, Jamie, you do have a PhD in psychology. And not only that, but you have written several books about On this, one of them is getting gamers the psychology of video games and their impact on the people who play them.
And then you had the engagement game, which is why your workplace should look more like a video game.
