One of the best (and sometimes worst) parts of gaming are all the cool and interesting worlds we get to visit on our adventures. Be it roaming the treacherous Lands Between in Elden Ring or checking out all the painting worlds in Super Mario 64, the places we get to go are usually a pleasure…

Listmas 2022: The Duck’s Top Gaming Vacation Spots
While my perfect vacation would normally be spent playing video games at home, many people say I need to get out of the house more. Well, I’d be more than happy to set foot in the great outdoors if I could visit some of the locations from my favorite video games. And so, to appease…
Listmas 2022: The Duck’s Coziest Fireplaces
There are few things more relaxing than curling up under a warm blanket by the dancing glow of a fireplace, hot cocoa in hand, while snow piles up outside. And of course, my favorite thing to do while relaxing in such a fashion is to play video games. But if I could be transported to…
Spooptober: Jack O’ Lantern Likes Treats More than Tricks
After Animal Crossing’s explosion in popularity a couple years ago, I’m sure there are a lot of people looking forward to Jack O’ Lantern’s annual visit. He might not be too terribly terrifying upon first meeting him in Animal Crossing, but he does have a pumpkin for a head. In a game that almost exclusively…
Animal Crossing Monopoly: Cute, But Complicated
A few months ago, Mother Duck and I accumulated a small collection of classic board games, along with one variation on a classic, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons edition of Monopoly.

Updated New Horizons Island and House Tour

Hatmonster’s 2021 Game of the Year
I don’t know about you, but I always struggle to recall what all I’ve played each year. It’s not that good games don’t leave an impression, rather it’s more that I play so many different ones (and talk about so many more) that it’s easy to lose track of them. Not to worry though, I’ve…
Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Gaming-Themed Meal
Well, this is most assuredly the tastiest week Virtual Bastion has had in a long time. It’s now the Duck’s turn to write about just a handful of the many video game foods I’d like to try. I’ve narrowed it down to several sections, Sides, Meals, and Desserts, with three entries each. Because without some…
Do It Yourself: Animal Crossing New Horizons vs Minecraft
Despite having plenty to play at the moment, I’ve recently found myself thinking about returning to either Animal Crossing: New Horizons or Minecraft. There’s just something about building your own stuff in games I just can’t help but find compelling (when it’s done well), so it’s hard to stay away from those sorts of games…
