Thank you for doing these interviews, they kicked ass! I hope these interviews and visits are possible to do more often for everybody at giant bomb!

After immediately stocking the twitter of Abby, Ben, I cackled real hard a couple of times. Really excited for the new blood.

Welcome Abby!

Welcome Ben!

Jumping out of my seat for Brad there.

This series is fantastic by the first episode, I want more.

Do you have any gaming experiences where, because you shifted your focus/goals, your experience was greatly improved?

Staying alive and competitive instead of getting a "win".

At 15 years young I played any game with a competitive atmosphere for the past 7 years. I craved a "win" more than improving my play and was frustrated without it. The Battlefield series was my exemplar of forcing a "win" and having a terrible experience. You can run through barbed wire and force your "win" in Battlefield or stay alive and battle...the field. Staying alive in a frenzy or one on one has given me an oozing feeling of my heels on the edge of a cliff (always exciting). I never feel like I'm losing if I'm trying my best and battling with competitive purpose. Staying alive and competitive turned me from a "win" spike seeking junky to a strategic berserker (greatly improved).

@austin_walker, I haven't asked myself this before and I learned something about myself. Thank you for this question and the article, I enjoyed them greatly.

P.S. Please keep writing.

Jeeze that segment with the Sahelanthropus was also COMPLETELY DIFFERENT for me. I only needed one retry but it was incredibly tense and interesting. I almost feel like drew was cheated of a great boss fight :/ .
