EUROCAST #5 – Gaming Special

This week we’re happy to bring you a very special EUROCAST – a full episode dedicated to the impact social media and mobile devices have had on the gaming industry.

To discuss this hot topic (no pun intended), we’re joined by long time friends of the show, Joe Burnap (@JosephBurnap),  IT Specialist and Scott Robertson, Associate Creative Director and new guest, Geoff Brinck, Staff Accountant.

Our panel of experts discuss the evolution of gaming from playing video games like Sonic The Hedgehog or Super Mario on the couch in your living room to the impact Facebook has had on helping reinvent what it means to be a “gamer” for a whole new generation.

From Zynga’s Farmville and Words With Friends to Rovio’s Angry Birds (we discussed the newest iteration of the game in a previous episode) gaming in 2012 is a whole different experience than what “playing a game” meant even a few years back.

Social media has allowed for a whole new level of game mechanics to be added – you can instantly play a game inside Facebook with your friend that might be across the world, or even play against your neighbor next door while you’re walking to work in the morning.

Join us and learn a little bit more about the future of gaming and what opportunities it holds for us as marketers!
