Welcome to a podcast about shining the light behind the psychological aspects of some of our favorite video games! Hosts Brandon Craw (MA Clinical Psychology) and Joe Moreno (MA and Associate Therapist) dive deep into video games, exploring the background behind some characters, point out which parts of their traumatic life can be attributed to their potential mental illness or explain their behavior, and discuss the human factors behind video game design. Then, we like to chat about what we're playing now. Come join us!
