Aug 07, 2023 Season 3 Episode 25
Daniel Kaufmann Ph.D. | Dr. Gameology

Brace yourselves for another thrilling journey into the world of gaming as Jenny, Gene, and Dr. Gameology make a grand return to The Gaming Persona! We spill the beans on our latest escapades - Jenny's transition to a new home, exhilarating gaming sessions, mastering Lord of the Rings, Magic the Gathering, and the Alien board game. Not to mention the gripping gameplay of Final Fantasy 16. Gene gives the lowdown on the gaming mechanics and how the real thrill starts with the new game plus - guaranteeing an engaging gaming experience like never before!

We're not just concerned with gaming. We reminisce about our podcast journey of three years, revealing our rationale for the reboot and how we've evolved. Jenny shares her love-based approach to gaming and life, while Gene lends his unique perspective on the games we've covered over the years. As we wander into philosophical territory, we ponder the butterfly effect and how Gaming Persona has had a profound influence on our lives.

In this episode, we also dig into how our love for gaming has propelled us professionally. We discuss the connection between the Gaming Persona podcast and our professional areas, all while not demonizing gaming. Hear about my recent promotion as the president of the International Gambling Counselor Certification Board and the newfound opportunities it presents. We delve into the mythic element of the podcast, the power of metaphors, and how the hero's journey can lead to a better understanding of ourselves. As a sweet bonus, we also anticipate the National Conference for Problem Gambling happening in Washington DC. So, get ready for an exciting journey through the gaming universe!
