Summary

This week, we talk about growing up with video games and how they affect your brain and society a large. Mitch secretly records Greg struggling to play Zelda for all to hear. We debate over whether or not video games are net positive or negative, all while touching on the modern science.

Special thanks to Josie Brechner of @visagermusic who let us use their music for this episode of Sidenote. It comes from their album 'Songs From An Unmade World 2' - the tracks are inspired by old-school adventure/RPG video game music and they mix classic chiptune sounds with more modern electronic elements.
