This is the continuation of last week's episode about the different types of gamers. This week I discuss "The Entitled", "The Brutalizer" and "The Casual". More info can be found on my blog page gonegamingpodcast.com

Welcome back! This week's episode is the first in a two part series about the different types of gamers. This week we take an in depth look at three types of gamers, "The Rager", "The Social Butterfly", and "The King". With each of these types of gamers we cover the behaviors and attitudes that surround them, and even take a look at accompanying mental disorders that may be characterized here as well. Be sure to tune in next week for part 2 of our series featuring "The Entitled", "The Brutalizer", and "The Casual".

This week's episode discusses what gets you hooked on games. The factors within a game that make you want to play and bring you back again.

Episode 1 covers the motivational factors behind why people start playing video games. The three primary factors that I see are those who are socially awkward or who are looking for an escape, those who play to be socially relevant, and those who play looking to make a career out of it. Feel free to post any questions or comments you may have about the episode on my twitter @gone_gaming and I'll do my best to respond. I may even use your comments in a future episode!

Here's a brief introduction and disclaimer before getting into the nitty gritty of things and the real subject matter.
