Nintendo’s got a brand new idea, and it centers around…cardboard? Yeah, like me, you might be rather confused right now. Apparently, Nintendo Labo, one of Nintendo’s newest products, is a kit that includes cardboard sheets with patterns printed on them (and the corresponding game, though I must admit that Nintendo’s ad on the subject didn’t make this…

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
Day 17: Favorite Antagonist
As you can see, I’m still working my way through the 30 days’ worth of video game topics, and I’ve just managed to get a couple days past the halfway point. Yay for me! Day 17’s topic is my favorite antagonist. For me, talking about my favorite of anything can be difficult because my favorites…
Project Dream’s Evolution into Banjo-Kazooie
For years, the mysteries surrounding Banjo-Kazooie have fascinated me. One of these mysteries was, of course, the infamous Stop ‘n’ Swop, an unused feature in the game that, while never implemented (not until the XBox Live Arcade anyway) in the Nintendo 64 era as intended, was still outright talked about by the characters as if…
Hopefully Conquering Final Fantasy 8: Part 1
I’m sure you’ve all heard me complain about it, many times before, but I was never able to beat Final Fantasy 8. I think it was due to a complete lack of understanding as to how Junctioning works, along with the fact that enemies become more powerful the more you level up, that accounted for…
Resonance: Here We Are
Warning: This post contains spoilers for events that take place towards the end of the True Pacifist Route in Undertale…. Not so very long ago, I had the immense pleasure of playing Undertale, a game that made me feel a wide range of emotions. I grew to deeply care about characters who had earlier tried…
My Time With Trico in the Last Guardian
It was thanks to a simple advertisement inside the case of Uncharted 4 that I first learned about The Last Guardian. It was the majestic form of the massive beast called Trico that got my attention, and it was for that reason that I got the game some while later for the Christmas of 2017. …
Goodbye Neighbor: Thoughts on the Full Version of Hello Neighbor
Over the past several months, I have been following an intriguing indie game called Hello Neighbor. The premise is simple enough. Sneak into your neighbor’s house with the goal of finding out what he’s hiding in his basement. Of course, it’s hardly the player’s business what our mustachioed-neighbor does in the privacy of his own…
Super Mario World Has Been Conquered
I have recently reached a huge achievement in my life. I…finally…beat…Super Mario World! I kid you not, over the course of my entire life, I have been attempting to beat that game, and I could never get much farther than Chocolate Island. That level where, if you take the wrong exit, you end up going…
A Game About Mercy: Undertale
You may have heard of an indie PC game inspired by EarthBound called Undertale. The game’s praise, along with its relation to a SNES game I absolutely love, made it a must-play. Though, I must admit that I am typically quite reluctant to download PC games because, well, my computer is weird sometimes. When I…
Listmas 2017: 7 Games I Played 20+ Years After Their Release
In the Duck’s previous Listmas post, I listed a group of games that I played 10-19 years after their release dates. Now we’re getting into the really retro stuff, which were released a whopping two decades before my sorry self finally got around to playing them. For clarification, this list does not include the original…
