Reflections: How Video Games Both Enriched & Derailed My Life

In this episode of Reflections, Jeffrey van Leeuwen takes you on a personal journey through 30 years of video gaming. He shares nostalgic memories—from tinkering with early Windows 3.1 computers and playing games off floppy disks, to the more sophisticated adventures of MS-DOS classics, console classics, and finally the immersive and thought-provoking world of Silent Hill. Rather than making a case for or against video games, Jeffrey offers an honest look at how gaming has shaped his life, and opened doors to unexpected opportunities (and pitfalls).
