GYGO: Reproductive Rights, a Cyberpunk Prequel, and the Official Beer of Esports

Let the fireworks fly, gaming lovelies! It’s summertime and Fourth of July week here in the States. What better way to celebrate than to cool off with your favorite games? It’s tempting to spend all the monies during the Steam summer sale and I certainly won’t judge you if you do. What’s being a gamer if you don’t have the stress to PLAY ALL THE GAMES!
