The magic number is three, as we explore the significance of threes in the gaming universe! Join us, your hosts Dr. Gameology, Jenny Lebron, and Gene Wong, as we mark our triumphant third anniversary with a vibrant discussion about our gaming journeys, the power of the number three in video games, and our top picks for the third installments in popular game series. From Janie’s passion for the board games Carcassonne and Dominion, to our shared experiences with Magic: The Gathering, we promise you a nostalgic trip down memory lane. What does Magic: The Gathering have in common with early game-based gambling? Immerse yourself in our conversation as we navigate our way through this fascinating history. Then, buckle up for a thrilling debate on the best third games in popular series - Metroid and Super Mario 3. We can't wait to share our cherished memories and experiences with these classic games. To sweeten the pot, we've thrown in a lively discussion about creating character profiles in video games and the challenges that come with editing game footage.  We round off this episode with a heartfelt thank you to our listeners for their ongoing support and feedback.  We've had an incredible journey so far, and we are excited about the road ahead. So, until next week, keep gaming! And remember, three is the magic number as we continue to explore the gaming world together!
