If you are a gamer, chances are you have some gamer friends as well (I am not saying how big these changes are). And while gaming on your own is awesome, enjoying a game with friends is probably even better! Here are some of my (Nicky) favourite games to play together from different genres. Curious as I am, be sure to comment and share your favourite multiplayer game below or on our socials!

The Guildwars 2 story takes place in the Asian-inspired Cantha, so I was craving some Chinese food again! With noodles and stir fry being referenced everywhere in the game, I wanted to make Eggplant stir fry again. Just like I did at a cooking class when I was in China. Eggplant stir fry is a Chinese famous dish, usually made with a local Sechuan variant of eggplant, called Yuxiang. While in the game you can buy the eggplants in bulk at Mount Maelstrom, in real life, any eggplants will do. So let’s cook using de Guildwars recipe for eggplant stir fry!
During Covid, popular games like Animal Crossing gave a lot more people a way to escape the intensity of the reality we are dealing with. It almost doesn’t seem like the world we used to know anymore. Almost overnight the online world became more prominent in the lives of people for not only school or work, but also as a place to escape to. In this post, we’ll give you 3 reasons why people used gaming to escape reality during Covid.
I was lucky enough to visit the newly opened Molly’s Arena. A Japanese-style arcade where you can sit down and have ramen and Mochi ice cream. And ofcourse, play the most epic arcade games. And even better, fly loops in an air plane in VR. So if you need some more convincing to drop by this Arcade, let me tell you about why you need to go there ASAP.
Update! Since the 14th of January, Molly’s Arena is open again! Support the local gaming scene and go visit when you can!
Life is a game and true love is a trophy
Before I start talking about being a ‘geek couple’, let me introduce myself first. My name is Sakuraflor. Though people mostly call me Saku. I am 24 years old and I am half Dutch and half Spanish. I am an artist who is specialized in three different art styles, which are: chibi, manga and semi-realism. Next to that, I am a diehard cosplayer also know as Sakuraflor. But more about that later! I’ve been gaming since I was little, always being the Luigi to my older sister’s Mario. Gradually I started playing more on PC and I kinda got stuck on that.
To be honest, when we got invited to go to BlizzCon 2016 it was like a dream come true: ‘Sakuraflor at BlizzCon!’ It was definitely an event which was on all of our bucketlists. So getting a chance to go there was really insane. We didn’t even really know what to expect. It’s an International con and on top of that, it’s one of the biggest ones in the United States. So we went there with zero expectations.
Hi there! My name is Laura de Fluiter and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently studying Journalism, but besides that I work as a freelance editor for XGN.nl: a Dutch website about gaming, film/tv and tech. I have been a part of their team for over 2 years now and during these years I’ve written many different reviews, interviews, previews, specials, news articles and more.
Celebrating Firstlook Festival 2016
Last weekend was the 9th edition of Firstlook in Utrecht. Firstlook is the biggest gaming event in the Netherlands with the newest games, gadgets and hardware. A lot of gamers gather in Utrecht every year to play games and hang out with friends. And this year we were excited to see that there were a lot of festivities around the Maffia 3 game and the 15th anniversary of Gamekings. For all the non-Dutchies: Gamekings is a tv-show that does reviews and previews of games and shows game related press trips. Naturally Girl Gamer Galaxy set off to Utrecht to celebrate this Firstlook festival 2016 too.

God, I wish it was that easy! Just clicking that start button and magical nerd love appears! Yay! You beat Diablo together in no time, Call of Duty becomes a daily thing, watching anime series becomes your life and before you know it seasons seem to fly by in what only feels like a few days. And last but not least, you become a badass couple who can do martial arts together, like those awesome moves you see in Avatar or in the Streetfighter games.
