#053: *Special Episode* Final Smash: Interview With Mr. Mauro

In this impromptu interview, we get a chance to sit down with HMS Science Teacher and HMS Vidoe Game Club Advisor, Mr. Mauro. On June 14th, Ms. Candalino brought 8 players from the Herricks High School Gaming Club to face off against 8 players in the Herricks Middle School Gaming Club in a Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament. Herricks Middle School Cafeteria was transformed that afternoon into a seeded competition for the joy of playing a game they love and a hobby they all share.

In this podcast, we discuss the tournament, how the HMS Gaming Club got its start, what games parents should be playing with their kids, the lost joy of playing couch co-op and how games can be social, inclusivity in gaming, Portal, virtual reality mini-golf & fishing, the Wavbird and of course Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. What is Mr. Mauro doing with those old TVs? Did he ever get around to building that robot? You'll have to listen to find out!

This podcast is a production of Herricks Studios with Michael Heit in the Content Creation Foundations 8th Grade Elective.
