As promised, here is the next interview from one of the clips in the podcast!
Sam and Curtis spoke to senior lecturer John Shearer from the University of Lincoln. They discuss many interesting topics, such as the three main areas into careers in gaming, and of course, John’s opinion on console vs. PC gaming!
“I like playing games with people, so whatever works for that…”
