Our last Listmas category before our wildcard week revolves around those characters we’d most want to spend the holidays with, whether it be due to our inkling that they’d be good gift-givers or just a lot of fun to be around. I actually wrote a similar post back in 2022 if you want to check…

Listmas 2024: Look Who’s Come for Christmas Dinner!
While games are good primarily due to good gameplay, good characters are a large part of what makes a game fun and memorable. Getting to know them is often as interesting as the overarching story itself, and I dare say many of us have thought about who we’d like to hang out with IRL were…
Listmas 2024: Holiday Cheers for Those Who Jeer
Are characters with mean streaks or rude manners exempt from having and Christmas spirit? Well…perhaps yes, in some regard. Maybe they’ll just be the unlucky ones with stockings filled with coal, but that doesn’t mean that villains can’t enjoy themselves around the holidays like everyone else! Well, whether or not any holidays are celebrated at…
Listmas 2024: Even Scrooges Need Christmas Cheer
We’ve already covered our favorite allies and most memorable gaming friendships and family relationships. So now let’s look at the other end of the moral spectrum. Because you can’t really have a good adventure without some villains causing the main conflict. These guys might be on Santa’s naughty list, but that doesn’t mean they can’t…
Listmas 2024 – Villain Teams That Just Work
Good friendships and camaraderie among good-aligned characters are pretty common in gaming. Developers tend to want us to like our virtual friends, so they tend to make them as likable and interesting as possible. And, it works. We’ve already gone through several lists of great protagonist characters these past couple of weeks. Villains, however, are…
Listmas 2024: Celebrating Friendships and Families
This time of year brings about different modes of being for different people. Some folks prefer a stretch of solitude to the chaos of family gatherings and friendly parties, while others revel in those very festive groups of kin and acquaintances. Our second Listmas topic of the season strays away from solo ventures to multiplayer…
Listmas 2024: Friends and Family Are the Greatest Gift of All
The one thing more important than gifts and good food during the Christmas season (as much fun as they are) is having friends and family to share the holidays with. (After all, who else is going to give you those presents, ha ha!) So it’s about time we listed some of the gaming relationships that…
Listmas 2024 – Friendship Goals in Games
For us players, having fun and interesting characters to pal around with is something that can easily enhance any game. However, it’s just as fun to watch best friends do their thing completely independent of us too. There’s just something about knowing that our virtual companions have lives of their own too, you know? So,…
Listmas 2024: Cary’s Favorite Teammates and Companions
Merry Listmas! In considering our first topic of the season – our bestest (or mostly so) buds in games – my mind immediately went to the most obvious place…BioWare. We’ve been traipsing around game worlds with teammates and companions by our sides for decades, but BioWare companions, or at least some of them, are second…
Listmas 2024: The Duck’s Favorite Teammates
RPGs are typically known for their grand stories and complex characters. Alongside turn-based fighting where allies and foes alike take turns slapping each other silly. Ahem, considering these kinds of games usually give us a wide array of characters that we can choose to travel alongside us, we thought it would be a good idea…
