Hello and welcome to GYGO! I’m Joesph, your local island-dwelling gamer. Summer vacation hit finally Japanese schools last Monday, just in time for a string of typhoons to barrage the southern coast (i.e. my house). I can’t really complain though, it gives me the excuse my adult brain needs to finally get shoulders-deep into Kingdom Hearts III. I just hope I can make it to the store later for a trove of sea salt ice cream.
Anyway, here’s the news! (more…)

Hello, and welcome to GYGO! I’m Joesph, the cool teacher who plays video games. After beating Dishonored, Spyro, and Superhot, I’ve spent the past couple days just watching the wind go by in Ghosts of Tsushima. As someone who’s never watched a samurai movie or particularly enjoyed open-world exploration, I don’t actually think this game is for me. But here’s the thing: I’ve already ignored three of the trendy games this year and my students are starting to question if I actually own a console. Anyway, when I wasn’t bowing to the peer pressure of middle schoolers and writing haiku, I was scouring the web for this week’s gaming news—just for you! (more…)

Howdy ho, gamers, what’s the latest? Having finished Nier (finally) and The Last of Us Part II, I am on my third Dad Game of the year with God of War. So far it has been heavy on gods and light on war, but I’m sure that will change at some point. And while we’re speaking of war-adjacent things, here’s this week’s news. (more…)

Happy Wednesday! What games are you playing lately? I’m on my second playthrough of The Last of Us Part II. I’m excited to slow down and enjoy some of the more peaceful chapters (one’s in a museum; another is in a house) without fearing jump scares. Let us know on Twitter what games you’re obsessing over and looking forward to! (more…)

Hello, I’m Zainabb and welcome to GYGO! I hope that you’re being kind to yourself and extending a hand to the most marginalised members of your communities, whether that’s through protest, community care, or buying a bunch of games. Here’s this week’s news.
