Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires show prep.
My podcasting platform features thousands of guests. What you don't
have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep
was completed, the conversation didn't happen. I keep all my
notes because I believe that paths will one day cross again.
Let me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements

(00:24):
without their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the
end of each question, hoping they'll download the talk and
insert their answers and send it back to me. Missed
opportunity is a lost piece of history. It's like a
message in a bottle that's been tossed out to see
I hope to one day locate that destination. This week,
we're putting focus on my Missed Opportunity with author John Doyle,

(00:48):
Okay CEO and creative director John Doyle, the force behind
Lost in Cults A handheld history. Interesting handheld history. You
know what that means, don't you. It's a celebration of
portable gaming platforms. This is about the history of handheld
gaming in the way that no other book has ever
done before. John Doyle explains the reasoning behind this and

(01:10):
it doesn't have to be defined by pixel art, font
and vintage imaging. Researching basic information was a big struggle
in John's life. I mean it actually took a lot
of hours to search for the things that he did,
and he found most of the material inside Archives Gaming
and its roots Now. The invitation to share conversation with
John arrived on September twenty ninth, twenty twenty three, at

(01:32):
ten oh nine am. Four days later, I was given
an open door to have that talk. It would be
a double meaning twenty minutes. I replied, perfect, that's my
one word expression. That's when you know I'm locked in perfect,
which was heavily inspired by Ryan Seacrest, who had missed
us saying very few words when he replies to an email.

(01:53):
The conversation was scheduled for October seventeenth, twenty twenty three.
October sixth, another PR invitation came out my way. I
instantly thought, uh oh, uh uh oh, what's going on here?
Was it possible that other interviewers and journalists weren't getting
into the talk and maybe didn't want to do it.
I still did the show prep the research, I did

(02:13):
it all the mental setting up? John Doyle didn't chime
into the conversation on the day. It was and still
is a missed opportunity. Hey, coming up next my questions
and statements without his answers. Hey, welcome back to missed Opportunity.
The Missed Opportunity is with CEO and creative director John Doyle,

(02:35):
the force behind Lost in Cults? The name of the
book A handheld history? Do most people know they're in
a cult? My grandson talks with others while gaming. Are
they missionaries and profits of occult? Most handheld junkies they
know the game, but are they living the lifestyle? People

(02:57):
are heavily invested in gaming? Is this dangerous? We don't
treat history like it's old. It's always something new. When
did you realize that we had another occult on our hands?
Most of today's consoles aren't history yet. What helps latch

(03:18):
onto the soul of a gamer? Gaming platforms and iconic games?
Has it always been a cult? When does the average
person see themselves as a gamer? Is gaming an addiction
that needs a cure? When it comes to gaming is

(03:39):
their personal attachment? Ten years ago, the term handheld wasn't
even a reason to worry most books about gaming. The
goal is to bridge the gap games focus on books.
Is there an answer and an audience for this? Games

(04:00):
affect emotion as well as empathy. When you spend too
much time putting focus on a game, what does it
do to the entire psyche of the body? What have
you learned from doing this journey? And there you have it,
the questions and the statements My Missed Opportunity with author
John Doyle. Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.

(04:23):
