Paul Davies talks with Walter Day, a renaissance man who single-handedly founded e-sports movement and established the centre of the video game universe in a small town in Iowa. We not only talk about Walter’s love for video game and how he founded Twin Galaxies but we also explore his passions away from the arcade.
