I talk about this a lot, but it really is incredible just how quicklytime seems to pass isn’t it? I mean it’s somehow already been 15 years since Fable II released for the Xbox 360! How did that happen? Something else that’s been bothering me lately is that I don’t think I’ve replayed the game…

The hype is real…or is it?
If I’m being really, truly honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I felt as hyped as I’m feeling now for two bigtime, upcoming releases: Starfield on the Xbox and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the PS5, both due on September 6th. Just how much space these two games are taking up in my…
Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour
If a time traveler were to have appeared in my living room circa 1993 as I was gleefully mashing my way through Street Fighter II Turbo and told me that, in 30 years, I’d get to create and customize my very own fighter and play in a world crafted around Street Fighter lore…I…I don’t know…
I’ll Always be a Mario Side-Scroller Fan
During the recent Nintendo Direct, a game was revealed that made my heart grow three sizes. That game was Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Due out in late October, it represents Nintendo’s latest take on Mario’s classic side-scrolling adventures. There will be pipes! There will be castles! There will be little Mario, big Mario, and Yoshi!…
The Duck’s Past Month with Tears of the Kingdom
Now that Tears of the Kingdom has been blessing our lives for roughly a month, I thought I’d return with another post to talk about my experiences with this truly massive game. In that time, I’ve made a whole lot of progress, and so I’ll only be able to discuss the highlights of my adventure,…
The Duck’s First Week with Tears of the Kingdom
Well, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was released just over a week ago. While I’m usually behind most people when it comes to playing new games, you’ll typically find me at the game store on the release date of any new entry into the Zelda franchise. I’ve now been playing this game…
Hunting Down Missing Strawberries in Celeste
A couple years ago, I wrote a review about my experiences with Celeste, a super difficult game about climbing a mountain. The game was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but it was also quite a trial. And while I did manage to complete the main game (chapters 1-7), there’s a whole lot that I didn’t…
Revisiting Neverwinter
In the latter half of 2018, I became obsessed with the MMO Neverwinter. Actually, it may be more accurate to say that I became obsessed with its characters, classes, and leveling; because once I max-leveled a character in each of its available classes, my general interest fizzled. Oh, I tried my hand at a few…
Survival of the Somewhat Competent
When Valheim was first released in early access on PC early 2021, it took over my news feed for several weeks. A number of bloggers I followed jumped on Valheim and seem to take to it very quickly and very positively. Like any new live-service game, it apparently came with its share of issues, but…
Oops…I Skyrim’d again
I really don’t know it is with me and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I know that for some players out there, Skyrim has become a lifestyle, a mode of being, a gaming paramour, of sorts. For me, however, Skyrim has become analogous to…well, I want to say “climbing Mount Everest.” That’s overdramatic, but that’s…
