Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!

Get ready to embark on an exciting journey into the expansive universe of esports and gaming with our friend and special guest, Gareth. We promise you an enriching conversation that not only breaks down the rising prominence of esports in mainstream media but also delves deep into the responsibilities shouldered by game developers and players alike. The thrill doesn't end there, as we also tap into Gareth's personal gaming experiences, including his introduction to the popular game, League of Legends, and his anticipation for its upcoming second season.

We dare to push the boundaries of imagination with this week's hypothetical game! How would you feel about building towers and platforms as in Jump King, or crafting beds in a game that resets the world? Or what about the prospect of creating a destructible game world that reacts to your actions? And if that wasn't engaging enough, we even explore the concept of an inverted tower with checkpoints marked by bonfires! The risks, rewards, and strategies involved in these mechanics are sure to stir your gaming spirit.

But gaming isn't just about mechanics, is it? It’s also about the narrative. Imagine a game with a 'forbidden love' storyline, providing not just entertainment but an emotional end goal. Picture a world where every action of yours has a ripple effect on the environment, creating an endless loop of survival games. Gareth gives an insightful take on what a capitalist system in gaming could look like (yes, really!). So, brace yourself for an enlightening and thought-provoking episode that will make you look at gaming from an entirely fresh perspective.
