Enjoy this guest post about a South Side Geek Oasis by Oscar Gonzalez, one of my former students at Palo Alto College who graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Texas A&M-San Antonio and is working on his master’s degree in Journalism at CUNY. (2024 Oscar update: He graduated from CUNY with his master’s degree and is currently working as an editor at Gizmodo in New York City.)

Oscar, the brains behind Original-Gamer.com, came to journalism through video games, breaking news stories on his site about this $65 billion industry.
