Not just for psychologists!
In university here in the U.K., I studied Computer Games Design. As I specialised in game design and concept development, a large amount of my time was spent researching things like UX, engagement and motivation to better understand players and analyse game design as a science. I can say, without a doubt, finding this podcast was a godsend, and it became one of my most valuable resources. Whether it was just as background noise during game development, or a serious part of my research, the information and topics covered in this series are wonderfully educational and interesting to anyone who might have an interest in the psychological impact of games. Now I've graduated and... I'm stuck in an office, taking on some cheap IT work just to save up money before I really kick-start my career. This podcast is STILL extremely useful to me as a method of retaining the knowledge of what I studied, and even giving me inspiration for games to create or to experiment with in my own time. Whether you're a student, games developer, or just someone who finds this stuff cool, I cannot recommend this podcast enough. The insight of professionals and thoughtful discussions are great for stimulating ideas and helping to better understand how games can affect us in all sorts of ways through their psychological impact.
