As we near the end of our roughly two-month anniversary celebration, we are tasked now with taking a good hard look at our ourselves to decide how we, as gamers, have changed over the last decade. Not only do I hope that I’ve grown in skill (though it’s doubtful), but my preferences have changed, as…

How I’ve Changed as a Gamer Since 2013
For this last week of personal posts for Virtual Bastion’s tenth (ish) anniversary, we decided it’d be a good opportunity to take a look back at our gaming lives and see how we’ve changed as gamers. We already discussed views and such last week, so this time I think the focus will be on taste…
My Interest in AAA Games, and New Consoles, Has Only Decreased
Back on June 9 of 2013, I wrote a long rant entitled, well, “A Rant Concerning My Growing Indifference to New Games, Plus Why Game Stores and New Consoles Can Irritate Me”. It was apparently listed as my ninth ever post on the blog, and I pretty much ranted about the exact things listed in…
Then and Now: The ‘Triple A’ Fun Factor
As our tenth anniversary continues, we decided it’d be a good chance to take a look back at the first few months of Virtual Bastion and compare some of our thoughts then with those we hold now. Have we changed over these past few years, or have our opinions solidified? To answer that question in…
Staying Motivated: Why Gaming Became My World
Seeing as Virtual Bastion has been going strong for more than a decade, with the same team of three since the very beginning, there must be a pretty good reason why we’ve kept chugging along all these years when many other blogs have long since closed their doors. For me, I think I have to…
The Duck’s Favorite Event: When the World Played Breath of the Wild Together
Although we have a decade worth of posts to look back on, I have always had fond memories of the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the posts that came with it. While I am unable to choose one single post, I suppose I can still justify my opinion that…
I Loved Zelda-ween!
You know, it’s still kind of insane to me that we’ve managed to last 10+ years as a blog. Most of our peers from that time have, for one reason or another, moved onto other things yet here we are somehow still chugging right along. We’re all going to talk about that a bit more…
A Wild Ride: The Past Decade in Gaming
It’s kind of hard to believe that ten-plus years have already passed since we started Virtual Bastion (then “United We Game”) back in 2013. Our little space on the net isn’t quite what it was in the beginning, but I like to think that we haven’t changed all *that* much over the course of the…
When Games Bring Out Your Ugly Side
For the most part, I think games are supposed to be a relaxing thing. Once your day is done and its compliment of tasks are completed, enjoying a game should be a matter of stress-free fun. I think this is mostly the case for single player games, but, for me, multiplayer is a different story….
Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
