The Duck’s 2026 Gaming To-Do List

Last week, I wrote about how and why I didn’t play any games released in 2025.  And yet, as we begin 2026, it appears the trend will likely stay the same.  But I’ve still got plenty of games, or at the very least, general categories of games that I’d like to play during the upcoming…

There’s No News, So Let’s Talk About Skate Story Instead!

One great thing about the end of the year is that there’s not much news to deal with. Yeah there’s still the ongoing RAM shortage stuff and all, but not a lot of new game or business announcements. We are all, for the most part, collectively chilling, which is something that I really enjoy about…
