Today’s Easter eggs cover multiple games, but a singular topic. Ironically, said topic could even lay eggs. Because I’m talking about ducks. Or more specifically, rubber ducks (okay, okay, so I suppose those can’t lay eggs…). These Duck of Indeed-approved bath toys are cute and silly and can actually be found in a handful of…

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.
Rayman 3 is Packed with Secrets!
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a platformer from the early 2000’s starring Ubisoft’s neglected limbless mascot. For whatever reason, the game allows you to collect these gems in order to rack up points, which served no other purpose than to unlock some random minigames (and a hidden room in the Tower of the Leptys, which…
Sneaky Secrets Galore in The Talos Principle
Not too long ago, I was able to get The Talos Principle on sale for a couple bucks. Cary had recommended it, and I quickly saw why the game got so much praise, with its focus on philosophy, thought-provoking questions, and challenging, but interesting puzzles. At times, the game made me really question what it…
Trine 1: Sometimes, Fun Doesn’t Have to be Complicated
The Trine games are a series of fantasy 2D platformers with physics-based puzzles and 3 playable characters. I’ve been writing a lot about the series lately, so this is feeling rather redundant at this point. But to recap, you’ve got Amadeus the wizard who can conjure various shapes and levitate objects, Zoya the thief, who…
Is Trine 3 as Bad as They Say?
When I bought the Trine: Ultimate Collection, I was aware that the third game, The Artifacts of Power, was infamous for being the worst of the series. The main thing I knew was that Frozenbyte had attempted to move away from 2D side-scrolling in favor of making the game 3D. I tried the game anyway,…
Trine 2 and 4: A Comparison
The Trine games are a side-scrolling fantasy series that follows three playable characters, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief, each of which have unique abilities. Amadeus can levitate and conjure items, making him good for traversing the environment. Pointius is better for fighting, with his sword, hammer, and shield. And Zoya…
Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC
The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice. Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here. I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…
The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer
The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing! Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…
Boxville: Demo Review
Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city. No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings. I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
Unforgettable: Mingy Jongo, the Crafty Shaman Impersonator
When I first played Banjo-Tooie, I had never played the first game (and Youtube Let’s Plays were not a thing), so all the characters were new to me. Bottles’ death was surprising, but didn’t mean anything. I didn’t know Mumbo’s role from the first game used to be Humba’s role now. I didn’t even know…
