You all remember how, when this blog first got started, I wrote a series about the pros and cons about the GameCube/XBox/PlayStation2 generation, don’t you? Well, actually, you may not because that was a while ago. But, believe me, I did. And now that I have had a good amount of experience with the last…

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.
UWG Top 10: #5 – Majora’s Mask
Today, the Duck (blogger of The Duck of Indeed, of course) has the pleasure of sharing with all of you a post on the game that ranked #5 in our top 10 list, “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask”. I was so happy to see that this game made the top 10 to begin with,…
Rayman: Rising Out of Obscurity
Over a decade ago, while perusing my local Best Buy, I came across a game called “Rayman 2: The Great Escape” for the Nintendo 64. The box sported a bizarre looking dude with a big nose that I actually mistook for a rather odd dog (I later found that he is, in fact, you know…
Overlooked: The 1,000th Lum of Rayman 2
One of the most satisfying things in any video game, for me, at least, is when you discover secrets that most of those who have played the game know little about. I have found a decent number of secrets (well, to be honest, by “found”, I mean that I read about them online) in various…
Community Post: The Embarrassing Joys of Lost Kingdoms II
Thanks to an idea from Chip of “Games I Made My Girlfriend Play”, the admins and contributors of UWG will be posting a series of community posts over the next span of days on the topic of our “guilty pleasure” games in celebration of April Fool’s Day. And it looks as if the Duck gets…
Unforgettable: The Appearance of the Flood
Not so long ago, in a room possibly far away and possibly not so much, depending on where you live, I mentally face-palmed myself. Because I had just realized that I had somehow managed to forget a particular moment in my gaming history where I just said to myself, “Wow, now that was one of…
Resonance: Dark Creature Pursuit
Video from Youtube User: Soniman001 One game I recently had the pleasure of playing was “Rayman Legends”, a wonderful game that contains some of the best video game music I have ever heard. But, as I believe I have said before (and if I hadn’t, now you know), a song has to be more than…
Why Games Should Do Away With Extra Lives
I grew up playing video games that used extra lives. The old “Mario” games had them and the old “Donkey Kong Country” series, too, and it was just a feature that you had to deal with. As you played through such a game, level by level, it was always on your mind how many lives…
Unforgettable: Still Alive and Want You Gone
Most of the time, when attempting to think of a part of a game that really stuck with you, very few would cite the ending credits as something that stood out to them, wouldn’t you agree? Because, in all honesty, most ending credits are downright boring. Sometimes they give us videos to watch during them,…
Community Post: The Duck’s Top 5 Mario Levels
United We Game’s February community posts continue, with today being the day the Duck will present you all with my entry on the topic of levels in the “Mario” series. Gamer or not, pretty much everyone’s heard of Mario, and there’s a reason this squat plumber is so popular even after people have been playing…
