Last week, we discussed the many spooky enemies that reside in the land of Hyrule (or Termina, as the case may be).

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.
Zelda-Ween: Top 5 Most Notable Scary Enemies
Even though The Legend of Zelda series doesn’t typically come to mind when you think of horror, I’m sure all fans of the series have noticed that these games have more than their fair share of creepy creatures. In fact, whenever I think about scary enemies in video games, more often than not, my thoughts…
How Retro Can You Go: A Discussion of Spooniness
There are some gamers who openly admit that they have no desire to play older games because they prefer the more advanced, better looking games of today. There are others who say that gameplay is the only thing that matters, so if a game is good, no matter how old it is, they will play…
The Apparent Science of RPGs
A good number of years ago, I bought Final Fantasy Anthology and Final Fantasy Chronicles for the PS1 in order to play Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. The other games that came in these mini-collections were Final Fantasy IV and V. While I had always been interested in FFVI and onward, I never heard…
Putting a Name to Nostalgia: MindMaze
I’m sure all of us have some game or movie or book that we remember, even when the name itself has been forgotten to us.

Unforgettable: The Aliens of Majora’s Mask
I’ve been thinking about one of my favorite games lately, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and though the game is near and dear to my heart, I realize now that I had forgotten about a lot of the things that made the game special. I had forgotten just how dark the game could be,…
Pure Speculation: Will the NX Save Nintendo?
It is widely known that the Wii U has suffered a rather poor reception, and as a less than proud owner of the console for about two years now, it takes no stretch of the imagination to understand why this is. In all that time, my Wii U has been largely used for recording gameplay…
The Limits of One’s Patience
There’s something quite baffling about how, when we are younger, we can so often sit through the most dreary of games and play them through to completion. At least, I know that’s how I was. There are many old games I could play again and again that I can’t stand the sight of today. Many…
Resonance: Sky Waltz
Over on UWG’s Youtube channel, I have been covering Kirby’s Return to Dreamland for the Wii, a game I hadn’t played in probably a good five years. As with all Kirby games, this one is bright and cheery and all around adorable, and I had such a great time with it, in fact, that this…
Warning: Animal Crossing May Increase Your Blood Pressure
Maybe I’m the only one here who feels this way. Maybe what I’m about to say is completely out there, and my sanity should be seriously questioned. But I’ve been thinking long and hard about something lately, and I have come to the conclusion that Animal Crossing might just possibly be one of the cruelest…
