This is the first of a three-part podcast series focusing on the impact video games have on people's lives. Whether it is regarding people's brains, their social lives, or their relationships with others, I am examining the impact that playing games has on three different levels, those who play a lot, those who play occasionally, and those who don't play at all. In this episode we focus on casual gamers, and speak with two Marquette students plus a graduate student in New Zealand who did a research study on casual gaming and its effects on depression and anxiety.
