In the Duck’s previous Listmas post, I listed a group of games that I played 10-19 years after their release dates. Now we’re getting into the really retro stuff, which were released a whopping two decades before my sorry self finally got around to playing them. For clarification, this list does not include the original…

Merry Christmas everyone! I know it’s just a touch early, but I can’t help it! Christmas is tomorrow!

Listmas 2017: Four Suggestions for the Next Fallout Locale
Practically on the tails of the release of Fallout 4, everyone started wondering about the setting of the series’ next installment. It seems likely that we’ll see Fallout 5 someday (maybe), and last year, it further appeared that things might be headed to New Orleans. But those rumors proved false (though a small question mark…
Listmas 2017: 6 Games I Played 10-19 Years After Their Release
As punctual as the Duck is when it comes to appointments and meeting deadlines, I am often horrendously late when it comes to games. In fact, in recent years, I think I have spent more time playing catch-up than I have actually enjoying recent titles. Out of curiosity, I thought it would be fun to…

Listmas 2017: Six Favorite Musical Themes from Ace Attorney 1-3
With the first three Ace Attorney games squared away, Listmas gives me the perfect excuse to talk about one of my favorite aspects of these games – their amazing soundtracks!

With Christmas arriving in just a few more weeks, it seems like a time to be positive. To be filled with holiday cheer and good will towards men and women and little children alike.

Listmas 2017: Yup, Even More Snowy Levels!
Listmas being what it is, I’ve always tried to do at least one list a year that’s somewhat in keeping with the season. As a resident of the Midwest, this is a season that’s usually defined by snow and lots of it. Once mid-November hits, it’s a subject that’s always on our minds in some…
Listmas 2017: Five “New” Discoveries I’ve Made While Replaying Dragon Age: Inquisition
In early 2015, I ran through Dragon Age: Inquisition — quite literally, I mean, at about fifty hours of play. I sped around Thedas, did away with all the enemies, and saved the day. That was that, and I moved on. I didn’t give the game much thought again until recently when I replayed Dragon…
