This is the Gamer's at a job's conference call for Wednesday, August 17th,

2020. I'm your host, Amanda Nolton,

and today joining us, I've got a full crew, and I'm excited to talk to you all about what is play.

And joining us to do so, I've got a special guest, Dr. Jamie Madigan from Psychology of Games.com. Hello and welcome.

Hey, thanks for having me on. Yeah, super happy to have you here for our topic. Also joining us in the

conversation. I've got Rich the Joy Conjure, Lovejoy. Hello. Hi, my cat continues to make

bad life choices, so I'm up to my elbows in cat vomit.

Oh, lovely.

Because she loves to eat plants that she shouldn't eat.

Oh, no.

Maybe I'm like, hmm, this plant has suspicious teeth marks on it, and I don't recall biting it.

Yeah, you can usually narrow down the culprit pretty quickly there.

Also, joining us, I've got Andrew and Culez. Welcome.

Hi, it's good to be here. I'm starting to think maybe Stray needs to add a vomit button

to go with the other hand button. Oh, my God. Yeah, it, yeah, that's 100%. Just hack it up, man.

Just work through it, just power through.

A button that you press like a few times before anything actually happens.

It's just a little hack button.

Can I just say this is like the best introduction to any podcast that I've ever been on?

Extremely relatable.

So as I mentioned before, our topic today is play.

Before we get into that, though, I want to talk about games that everybody's playing right now.
