Humans of Gaming 188 | Andy Robertson of “Taming Gaming”

SHOW NOTES

Andy Robertson, the author of “Taming Gaming”, describes himself as a “good dad.” Originally a technical writer for tax software, Andy took a leap to write for video games and has done so for 15 years while curating an impressive database of video games at the Family Video Game Database. Encouraging the active participation of parents and their children in the video game universe by educating parents and providing curated starting points based on interests and familiarity has earned him the honor of his own TED Talk. Drew and Chris chat with Andy about his gaming habits with his children and his realization that his faith is independent of the church building.
