Welcome to the Things That Shape Us podcast. My name is Jonathan Wymer and I'm joined by James Gary to discuss a various range of subjects that are all related to one idea: How those things shape our lives.

In this episode, James and I discuss ONE THING that shaped our lives. We're going by the other definition of ROMANTIC (Imaginative, but impractical; visionary) for this one. James and I delve deep into an odd conversation about the world of video games and their romantic connection to ours lives (in accordance with the definition of the word above). There are aspects of video game world-building, character arcs, and stories that stick with us and fuel us to be more imaginative and free people. We also discuss the positive impacts of video games for those that find them as more than an escape, but as therapy. It's about to get super nerdy.
