Can gaming be used to enhance education?

Episode 243 – Playstation Blues, Kingdom Tears – The Reformed Gamers

The recent Playstation Showcase was not quite what we expected. Join Logan and Micah as they revisit the Showcase and share their thoughts on what could have made it a lot better. The guys also dig deep into Tears of the Kingdom (no spoilers, of course). In the pre-show, the guys discuss Logan's musical hype stylings, extra discussion around the Playstation Showcase, and how YouTube has made them self-concious.
