Good thing this community post came along because I was running out of ideas. Okay, so our first community post is about co-op. I thought I knew what this was, but just to be sure, I checked it out on Wikipedia (I am not big into multiplayer and thus am not overly familiar with all…

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.
A Rant Concerning My Growing Indifference to New Games, Plus Why Game Stores and New Consoles Can Irritate Me
Warning: This post contains whining and complaining. Read at your own risk. I’ve been noticing something lately. I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I haven’t been very excited about new games lately. Or new consoles. My love of video games is as strong as ever, but I have realized that I…
Games That Inspire Adult Tantrums
Several posts ago, I wrote about how many video games seem to be getting easier now than in the past. This made me think of games on the other side of the spectrum. Not really difficult games, though, as you’d expect. Difficult games can be good for those who like a challenge. But, what I…
100 Theme Challenge No. 6: Break Away
(The Duck currently has a bunch of posts started but incomplete. My brain is feeling lethargic today. So I am posting below a recent post from my own blog until I get these posts done. I have been writing different topics from the 100 theme challenge, and this is #6. Behold!) Okay, today’s 100 theme…
The Duck’s Personal Trials and Joys of Multiplayer Gaming
I am a solitary gamer. I hardly ever do any multiplayer, and I have never done any online multiplayer gaming (except PC gaming once playing “Runescape” on an old computer that froze every two seconds). Just never wanted to, plus no way am I paying to use XBox Live. You raise the price of each…
Are Games Getting Too Easy?
Seriously, are they? Over the years, I’ve been noticing that an increasing number of new games take less and less effort to beat nowadays. I never have to wonder if I’ll be able to beat a new game or not. In the past, I had many games sitting around that I needed to return to…
Comparing “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet and Clank”: Two Series Everyone Must Play
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about two of my favorite series, both of which are often compared to each other, the PlayStation exclusive series “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet and Clank”. From what I can tell, these series always seem to be related to each other, likely because their developers, Naughty Dog and Insomniac…
The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 3-The Second Station of Play
And now we come to part three of my posts on the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and XBox generation of consoles. I saved my favorite one for last, the PS2. Not only is it my favorite console of that generation, but it is my favorite console of all time. This was actually my very first non-Nintendo…
The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 2-The Box
Hello, the Duck is back to discuss the next console of the GCN, XBox, and PS2 generation, the hefty, yet powerful XBox. This console was the very first video game console made by Microsoft and so the brand is a relative newcomer. While the console, by virtue of its newness, did not feature classic series that…
The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 1-The Cubester
Hello, everyone. I see you’ve come to read the Duck’s very first post on United We Game. Well, for my first post, I thought I would start by discussing the pros and cons of a very nice generation of consoles, the time period that gave us Nintendo’s GameCube, Sony’s un-creatively named PlayStation 2, and Microsoft’s…
