Before briefing about the video game, Pat discusses his background related to the field. He said, “I did not grow up playing video games, I did not have the attention span to play enough video games. I was up and out of the house all the time. I was on the road for soccer and other things all the time. So I didn’t get the gene that my brother had and that many other kids had to be able to play a video game and just sit there and enjoy it.”
