The Switch Goose made a special delivery this week!

This may be the most Switch games we have ever had in at one time.

And, if it's like every other time we get Switch games, it'll be gone before you know it!

Adopt one (or all of them) today!
.........for a surprisingly affordable fee!

It's something that we've offered in an unofficial way for years, but today we're proud to announce that GG will be offering a 15% discount on all preowned games and accessories to all active and inactive military personnel with ID.

Thank you for your service, both on this Memorial Day and every other day.

Wellllllllllllllllllllllll

GG will be closing early today to work on a little bit of a flooding problem. No tornado this time, thank God, but we do have some work to do. Long story.

We will reopen and be back to normal tomorrow.

Thank you all for your patience with us. It has been a troubling....well, year. We have that reverse Irish luck.

We apologize for the inconvenience, completely out of our hands!

Today is a special day for some of us here at the old GG offices.

For the first time in...for the FIRST time, Tales From the Crypt is now streaming on Shudder.

For those that remember, Tales From the Crypt was THE horror anthology in the 90s, and one of HBO's biggest successes.

Ownership rights have kept it in limbo for years, but now it is available - all episodes, completely uncut!

We'll be playing some of the Cryptkeeper's best stories at the store today to celebrate, and even though we know it isn't video game related, we just wanted to share.

For those with Shudder, here's a little best of list that we find little fault with (even if it does forget a few favorites).

Tales from the Crypt has nearly 100 episodes of sinister stories, but there are some special entries that depict the anthology series’ best work

Happy Tuesday!

Or as we call it around the offices - ....uh....NinTendo Tuesday!

And what a great offering to start the week off! We just got in this lovely set of Nintendo 64 games, system, and a few accessories - only driven to church on Sundays!

We have these in store RIGHT NOW....but not for long!

Come see us today!
