Welcome back to Get Your Game On! My name is Zainabb and I’ll be your guide through this week’s gaming news. My brain and body have been mush lately from sickness and hot weather so I haven’t been able to do much gaming. However, I did build a 1980s-themed high school in The Sims that I’m extremely proud of, and I’ve also been watching playthroughs of The Mortuary Assistant, which has some great scares I would never be able to handle playing through myself. Just call me a pro gamer.
Anyway, here’s what’s been happening in gaming this week. (more…)

Hello and welcome to Get Your Game On! Did you miss me? I, Maddi, am back again for another dose of news this week. I am still just as into Dicey Dungeons as I was last week, so not much has changed on that front. But if YOU have played anything you think we should know about, let us know in the comments, or, if you’re a member of our Patreon at the Sega Genesis tier or higher, drop us a recommendation in our Discord! If you feel so moved as to pitch us, our editors’ inboxes are cursed with a terrible, unsettling hunger, and we would love for you to feed them. Anyway, here’s the news. (more…)

Hello and welcome to Get Your Game On. My name is Maddi and I hope that wherever you are, you’re staying cool during this intense July heatwave. I’ve been playing even more games than usual since going outside has started to feel like walking into an oven. I recently enjoyed both Universal Paperclips and Dicey Dungeons, which had me glued to my phone over the weekend. If you’ve been playing games to beat the heat, tell us about it on Twitter, or, if you’re a member of our Patreon at the Sega Genesis tier or higher, in our Discord! Without further ado, the news.

Content note: mention of death.
Welcome back to Get Your Game On! My name is Zainabb and I’m your host for this week. Recently I’ve been navigating a difficult and extended flare so I haven’t been gaming as much as I’d like. I did finally start Stardew Valley but immediately became overwhelmed and I was also put off by its (extremely limited and ableist!) disability representation so I, uh, have not returned to it yet. Instead, I’m back on my The Sims bullshit and rebuilt my main family’s house for the third time this year!
You know what’s less fun than building virtual magical cottages? This week’s gaming news. Let’s take a look, shall we? (more…)

Another Wednesday, another GYGO! I haven’t been playing much lately, but I did have some fun revisiting some old favorite board games recently—Trivial Pursuit: Bet You Know It!, in which you can answer trivia questions or bet on whether your friends will get the answers right, Slash, which is like Apples to Apples but you discuss why two characters are the perfect OTP instead of why two words make sense together, and my favorite game maybe ever, One Night Ultimate Werewolf. I am never the werewolf, no matter how badly I want to be.
What’s been going on in the gaming world? Would it surprise you if I said not much that’s pleasant to talk about? Sigh. Here we go. (more…)
