Hi there and welcome to Get Your Game On! My name is Zainabb and this weekend, my friend set up my computer so that I can now play my massive PC gaming backlog on my television while lounging on the sofa, and I am SO EXCITED.

Part of my self care is going to involve playing mystery games on my sofa while eating chocolate biscuits. (more…)

Hello, and welcome to GYGO! I’m Joesph, your local gaming psychopomp, and I finally had a chance to dip into Spiritfarer this week. It’s a really cozy game about helping people come to terms with death and also building boats. I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. When I wasn’t getting struck by lightning for the thrill of it, I scoured the net for this week’s gaming news. Enjoy! (more…)

Way back in the halcyon days of 2019, I booked a video game-themed dinner reservation. Eric Rivera, chef and owner of addo:incubator (a Seattle-area restaurant with quirky, experimental menu choices that hosts pop-up events and other unique meals), planned to host a series of dinners themed around The Oregon Trail.
