Clemmie talks to Ellie Gibson; Games journalist, part of Dara O'Briain's Go 8 Bit and one half of @scummymummies. 

Ellie patiently allows Clemmie to voice her concerns and stereotyped perceptions of the world of gaming. While it’s easy to jump to conclusions about gaming being an anti-social subculture, it turns out the opposite just might be true. Not only is the gaming industry big business, it also can be a hugely positive space that champions community mindedness, social interaction and problem solving.

Ellie’s account @elliegibsongames is full of great advice and games recommendations for family friendly games play.
