In this episode, Rob Mostyn, who among many other things is my older brother, describes how he got into a career of gaming. He shares about his unique position(s) at his job and dives into some of the important elements that occur in games that could be useful for therapists, as well as the unique music and art that is a part of the gaming process. We discuss the genres of games, socialization aspects, motivation in games, and information that could be asked by therapists when learning about clients to get a deeper understanding of what games mean to them, and some applications of games in therapy. All of that and some enjoyable sibling banter as well!Rob Mostyn is the Digital Games Hub Coordinator at the RIT Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction &amp; Creativity (MAGIC).
