I obviously love video games and one thing that I wish there was more of a focus on in the online gaming discourse is what other benefits we get from gaming besides the social aspects and hand dexterity etc. In this episode I got to chat with friend of the show Nadia Oxford about her recently released book "From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling" from Retro Game Books, which dives into an element of what I mentioned prior, video games teaching us about media in ways we may not expect. I had a lot of fun chatting with Nadia about her book, about what videos have taught her about storytelling and writing and about who she hopes this book will appeal to. Please go check out her book, its funny, insightful and a wonderful read all around.
