In this episode of the podcast, hosts Peter and Alli dive into a discussion inspired by their previous guest, Elliot Mack of Daigon Esports. They explore the world of esports and its impact on gaming culture. The conversation begins with a playful exchange as Peter asks Alli about her gaming preferences, highlighting the generation gap between them. They reminisce about classic games like Pokemon, Mario Party, and Counter-Strike, emphasizing the community-building aspect of gaming. The hosts reflect on Elliot's insights regarding esports providing an inclusive space for individuals who may not connect with traditional sports. They discuss the potential for esports to channel students' gaming interests into productive and networked environments. Peter shares anecdotes about his own experiences with simulators and how they can serve as a bridge between virtual and real-world skills, citing examples such as flight simulators and culinary simulations.

She shares personal memories of playing Dungeons and Dragons, emphasizing the deep connections and theatricality that can be fostered through in-person gaming. Peter adds that engaging in activities like board games or breaking bread together can create meaningful connections that technology alone cannot replicate.
