In the latest episode of Shelf Quest, actor Max Burkholder reveals the video game he's played from start to finish the most times.

Burkholder, known for his work on Parenthood and the Ted prequel series, explains how video games became a vital way to decompress from the stress of a professional career at a young age, offering a mental retreat rather than mere escapism. This deep connection began during his early years as he was first discovering how gaming could serve as a necessary space for relaxation and focus.
