PART TWO HAS ARRIVED! We know you were eagerly awaiting this installment with bated breath and anticipation - so have at it! 

Did Amber insult your favorite sky? Did facts get pushed aside in lieu of humorous debate? GOOD because otherwise it wouldn't be Gaming & Gabbing now would it!?

We asked YOU "What video games have the most memorable skies?" and boy oh boy, did we get answers! This week's episode became SO massive, SO scientifically astounding, that it must be divided into two parts. This, at long last, is part two.

Join G&G Hosts Dayeanne Hutton & Amber Plaster for a lively debate on which sky is best. Can you guess which one will win?

How many times have you looked up in a game and admired the heavens? Have you ever loved a sunset so much it made you cry? Do you like a sky that has two moons? Well, you're in luck!

Hello Baby Barbarians! We hope you are staying safe, busy and practicing plenty of self-care during this continued quarantine. Good new is - we have a new episode! Not just that but we also have created a MASSIVE playlist (7 hours long) to occupy your time as well :) For this week's episode we asked YOU (via Twitter & Instagram) what you thought the best video game soundtrack was - we then compiled the previously mentioned mega-playlist, discussed the suggestions, and talked about our own personal favorites. Daye also discovered a horrifying fact about Amber and brownies towards the end - so proceed with caution. 

Stay Safe - Stay Nerdy!!

It's week three of the COVID-19 virus quarantine here in the United States. California has ordered all of us stay home unless it's an emergency and to always wear face masks, to help "flatten the curve". 

This episode covers the current coronavirus life, the backlog you can now play, and weather or not Daye would survive the apocalypse.

Guess what?! Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming soon to PC! This means we get to discuss MORE Horizon: Zero Dawn!!

This week, G&G Hosts Dayeanne Hutton & Amber Plaster sit down with actor, Akie Kotabe.  He plays opposite Selma Hayek in the Thriller Feature Film "Everly" and, our personal favorite on Akie's IMDb resume, "The Japanese Dr. Who"  - an absurdly ridiculous film homage.

You might get dizzy from trying to count all the games Akie has worked on! He breaks down every detail from his roles in Horizon: Zero Dawn (OB-vi-OUS-ly) to a rare gem in his resume called "Lesuire Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Never Dry". Yes, you read that correctly.

Highlights from this episode include:
