Three Surprising Weeks with Breath of the Wild
It’s been just over three weeks since I started playing Breath of the Wild, and it would be quite impossible to even make a guess as to how many hours I have dedicated to this game thus far. In that time, while I have managed to make some actual progress in the game’s story, the…
Hello Neighbor: Another Compelling Indie Game
Over the past few years, I have become increasingly fascinated with PC games. I downloaded Slender: The 9 Pages the day I learned about it, after which I could barely even play the game out of sheer terror. I got sucked into the craze of Five Nights at Freddy’s and have spent no shortage of…
The Duck’s First Week with Breath of the Wild

Three Unique and Upcoming Switch Titles
With the release of Nintendo’s Switch now less than a month away, I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time looking up what kind of games we’ll have to look forward to. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t plan on buying the Switch at launch, but a Duck can still dream, right? And for all…
A Triumphant Return to Final Fantasy XII
For the past several years, I have intended to return to Final Fantasy XII for my second playthrough. But, as is often the case, what I intend to do and what actually happens are two very different things. I repeatedly had other games to play, keeping the twelfth numbered installment in the Final Fantasy series…
Super Mario Odyssey Trailer: Initial Thoughts
Last week, I discussed my thoughts and concerns on the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Today, it’s Mario’s turn for some scrutiny, as we were just recently introduced to the next major Mario game, Super Mario Odyssey. Let me start by saying that I’m not the biggest Mario fan out there. The…
New Breath of the Wild Trailer: Initial Thoughts
With the recent announcement of the Switch’s release date came more news for two exciting entries into Nintendo’s vast library of games. Not only were we graced with more footage of Breath of the Wild, but we also got to watch open-mouthed as that new Mario game finally got a name, Odyssey. Super Mario Odyssey,…
