Can video games be a spiritual experience? The people at PBS-funded webseries, GAME/SHOW discusses this topic in their latest episode.
Have you ever had an experience while gaming that was so transcendent, so powerful, that it could almost be described as spiritual? Whether you consider yourself a religious person or not, the feeling of cosmic connectedness can strike anyone.
But is there something about videogames that lends to this elevated experience? Can they be more than merely just video games?
In August of 2013, PBS kicked off a brand new weekly web series called GAME/SHOW, hosted by gamer and reporter Jamin Warren. The show provides relevant commentary on the current state of the video game industry in the same style as other PBS-funded web series such as Idea Channel.
