Dr. Kris Alexander, professor of video games at Toronto University, wandered by our camera with a grin so captivating that we couldn’t help but chat about what brought him here and what he’s generally up to (turns out to be a lot). Dr. Alexander asserts, “There is not a single job, trade, or discipline that doesn’t, in some way, connect to the video games industry.” He also believes young video game designers can most definitely help save the world.
