The Gaming Outsider Podcast – Episode 068: Gaming and Coping

Our weekly update episode of The Gaming Outsider is now live and we get a little personal. Our community topic centers around games that helped get us through rough patches in our lives. We discuss games that have helped coping with issues like depression, loss and divorce and how the medium pulled us through those difficult times. On a lighter note, the gang dives into what they’ve been playing this week such as Destiny: The Taken King, Oxenfree and Unmechanical and even a bit of tabletop board game discussion.  Also, we jump into the latest news like the wrapping of the shoot of the Assassin’s Creed film and the teasing of a possible Xbox One version of The Witness. Grab the episode now using your podcast platform of choice. We’re now on TuneIn as well so feel free to listen to us there.
