About Us + FAQs
“There's something undeniably special about the way Jay writes.
Whether he's geeking out about video games, exploring the science behind our fascination with technology, or sharing heartfelt stories about being a father, he knows exactly how to draw you into a world of his own making, one that you can't help getting lost in.
His passion and (dare I say) almost child-like sense of wonder are infectious, and his authenticity comes across with every word he writes. He's simply a pleasure to read.”

About Game & Word
Welcome! I'm Jay, a lifelong gamer, occasional gaming blogger, professional writer, and now the publisher of Game & Word: the newsletter where virtual worlds and the "real" world collide!
Game & Word’s content dives as deep as possible into the hobby we love, highlighting gaming’s connections to humanity and the world. History, culture, psychology, literature, and even philosophy can all shape the games we play and fondly remember.
By exploring these links, not only do we gain a greater appreciation for these games, we demonstrate that—far from being a childish time-waster—a good game can be as creative, powerful, and worthy of recognition as a good book, song, or movie. In learning more, we enrich ourselves while also elevating the medium.
Please consider sharing this publication with a friend or supporting our work with a Game & Word subscription. Your support makes this newsletter possible.
And if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line at gameandword@gmail.com whenever you feel like it. I love hearing from readers.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you have as much fun reading Game & Word as I do writing it!
Cheers,
Jay, Publisher & Lead Author
