Notes and pictures for Episode 4

What makes you who you are? How did your family affect who you became? In Episode 4, we speak about how we became interested in games and geek culture, and how we'd introduce our future kids to the world of games. We also discuss if video games could compete with Oscar-winning movies, in terms of writing and direction, and we go off on a few tangents along the way.
