I’m just so excited about Animal Crossing and its amazing power to make all the chaos of the outside world simply melt away! Nothing could possibly be wrong, everything’s fine on my island! Speaking of Animal Crossing: (more…)

Hello, and welcome to GYGO! I’m Kael, your local socially distant gamer, and while I still have to go into work I’ve certainly been spending a lot of my off-hours locked in my apartment. This means I finally got a chance to get back into The Outer Worlds. It’s fun to shoot things good, and less fun to think about the presence of capitalism in space. A good experience all around.

Strange Telephone doesn’t give up much to the player in terms of what it’s about, and that’s by design. Originally a mobile game, it’s now available on Steam and Nintendo Switch and the premise is this: you play as a purple-haired girl named Jill who wakes up in a strange dimension in front of a large, locked door.

Good morningtimes, fellow co-pilots in this thing we call life. It’s time again for your favorite day of the week: Wednesday! What better day is there than GYGO day??

You are Yono, an adorable baby elephant from The Stars who has come to the world in fulfillment of a prophecy. Yay! Your primary tools for fulfilling this prophecy (which is REALLY vague) are putting small animals and objects on your head, making adorable trumpeting sounds, squirting water out of your trunk, and bonking things with your noggin. It’s like Zelda, but Incredibly Cute.
