This Gaming Life follows Jim Rossignol’s transformation from finance reporter to lifelong gamer. After losing his job over a Quake obsession, he finds purpose and community in online worlds like World of Warcraft and Eve Online.

Rossignol journeys through three cities—London, Seoul, and Reykjavik—immersing himself in diverse gaming cultures:

  • London: the rise of Quake and professional gaming.
  • Seoul: a national obsession with televised esports.
  • Reykjavik: the intricate social landscape of Eve Online.

With personal memoir, travel narrative, and cultural analysis, the book examines the value of play, community dynamics, and the future of gaming as a vital cultural form.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
