“Real Gamers”

Video Games

This week on the show, we talk about the idea of “Real Gamers” – or rather, the usage of that term to try and segregate different parts of the gaming community. It can happen due to gender, age or it can even happen just based on what genre of game you like, but we’ve all had a conversation before where we’ve had to try and justify what ‘level’ of gamer we are, so we break down the reasons this can happen and the negative effects this can have on others!

Luke, Meags and Eloise are along for the ride, and we also talk about the leak regarding the NX and a Life is Strange TV show! It’s all here on another episode of your favourite gaming show!
