Gen Con Seminar : The Psychology Of Gaming
So yeah I attended this seminar and it was very interesting although I think I was out of my depth at times… The pitch for the event was – “Are you interested in psychology? Are you looking for some insight into what makes gamers tick? Come join a talk on...

Wait, this isn’t a Gen Con post! Correct. I wanted to bring your attention to a social media gaming goodness experience of a lifetime. Ok maybe not. It’s this – I’m taking part via my Twitter feed which is then syndicated to my Facebook Page. The idea is the brain...
