The Common Gamer
by Ben - The Common Gamer
With each episode we will embark on a journey through the life of a common gamer (ME). I simply want to have a positive conversation about what I love about games and what they mean to me. Join me each week as I launch my thoughts, release my experiences into the world, and see if anyone out there shares similar memories. This is not a scientific study or an argumentative show. It is just an ordinary gamer sharing his thoughts and hoping to connect with others who can relate to my stories. So, let's press start and begin our journey through the ordinary and true life of a common gamer.
