Like a lot of people, I love collecting cool merch for my favorite games. At first, I really only bought the occasional plush or Funko. When I first really got into collecting game merch, however, was when I happened upon a cool site called Fangamer while on the hunt for a physical copy of Undertale. …

Listmas 2023: Great Halo Gifts for the Family’s Master Chief Maniac
For some game fans, it realy is all about the game. The game is what they enjoy and they really couldn’t care less about anything else surrounding it. For many other our there though, finding and acquiring cool merch for your favorite franchise is a big part of the fun. These days I belong to…
Listmas 2023: Games for Folks who Hanker for History
Considering that a large part of my life has revolved around preserving history, one might think that my game habits would lean in that direction. As it goes, the opposite is more true than less. But, just because my own library and subsequent recommendations from it aren’t heavy history hitters content-wise, it doesn’t mean that…
Listmas 2023: Games for Mythology Fans
Mythology was always one of the most interesting topics I got to learn about in high school and college. It was on these occasions that school didn’t feel like a chore, and these were the few lessons that stuck in my head even into adulthood. Important dates and events in American history? Nope, I forgot…
Listmas 2023: Gaming Gifts for Sci-Fi Nerds
As Cary pointed out in our official kick-off to the season, Listmas time is here again already! It doesn’t matter how old you get, the fact that December can just one day arrive is always just such a wild phenomenon, I think. Anyway, we are indeed carrying on the Listmas tradition in this year of…
Listmas 2023: Listing Lists about Giving Gifts
Ten years ago, we celebrated our very first Listmas. At the time, we were United We Game, and Listmas – the Christmastime blogging celebration that’s all about making lists (and checking them twice!) – was a small effort that was meant to serve as lighter writing/reading fare over Christmas week. A decade and a name…
Top 5: I Regret Nothing! Except…
It’s usually around this time of year, with holiday sales clogging every media outlet I use, that I take stock of my gaming library, because the questions looms as to what “on sale” items I might want to add to it. In an effort to curb my wallet, I’m looking back at the gaming regrets…
Top 5: Games I’d Like to See Ported to the Nintendo Switch
I joined with many a raised eyebrow over Rockstar’s recent announcement concerning Red Dead Redemption. Rumors swirled over hopes that they’d be releasing a current-gen version of the game; but, in fact, the world will be seeing only ports of the game to the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. I’m not one to grumble…
Top 5: Favorite Arrow Fuse Items in Tears of the Kingdom
When I started playing Tears of the Kingdom, I felt certain that I was not going to get along with using Link’s bow and arrow in any real capacity. Between fighting with the Switch’s motion sensors and just being bad at aiming generally, I figured I’d get along fine just mashing and smashing away with…
Ranking the Spirits from Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer is a “cozy management game about dying” where you’ll be ferrying the spirits of the dead to the afterlife. As such, I formed a very different sort of relationship to these characters than I would in a regular game, and on the most part, knowing that a character is soon to pass on helps…
