Remakes and remasters… love them or hate them, they have become staples of the gaming industry and likely aren’t going away anytime soon. So, for our second Listmas list of the month, we decided to make an attempt to embrace the ever-growing trend and pick our own sets of games that we’d like to see…

Silly Scoundrels: Gruntilda
The Duck’s second silly scoundrel is another creation of Rareware’s, the rhyming witch Gruntilda and nemesis to the beloved bear and bird duo, Banjo and Kazooie! In this post, I’ll be focusing on her antics in the two main Banjo-Kazooie titles on the N64. (I barely remember the handheld title, Grunty’s Revenge, and…there’s definitely not…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s 6 Favorite Mini Games
For our final week of Listmas 2019, we decided to write about anything we felt like. Ironically enough, the Duck usually doesn’t enjoy mini games. In fact, I often resent it when a game makes me play them in order to progress or to obtain an item I need for 100%. However, having recently enjoyed…
Listmas 2019: Getting Jiggy With It
Who got jiggy with it first? Will Smith or Banjo and Kazooie? Not that it really matters, because we all know the real answer. And it’s that the Banjo-Kazooie series is among the best 3D platformers ever! And while these besties, (errr, mostly, at least when Kazooie isn’t being uppity) have plenty to celebrate, least…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s Favorite Jiggies
With Banjo and Kazooie’s semi-recent inclusion in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, we thought we’d make a list dedicated specifically to the bear and bird duo, a list of our favorite Jiggies! Today, I am listing my top 5 Jiggies from each game on the Nintendo 64. Let’s get started!
Challenge Mode: Racing Canary Mary
Though gaming is easily my favorite hobby, there are a few things about it that I really don’t enjoy. At the top of the list are any challenges that require me to press buttons quickly. As silly as it sounds, I absolutely hate having to do this, as my weak noodle arms do not possess…
Rare Scares: The Haunted Cavern in Banjo-Tooie
While it’d be overdrawn to prescribe the adjective “terrifying” to the wonderful and wondrous Rare game Banjo-Tooie, like its predecessor, the game contains a couple…let’s call them unsettling sections. The one that always sticks out to me the most is the Haunted Cavern of Witchyworld, which we’ll explore here thanks to The Duck’s Let’s Play…
The Duck’s Top 10 Video Game Songs
While we have discussed often songs that have resonated with us (and the Duck has frequently listed top 5’s and 10’s from various games over on my own blog), we have yet to compile a list of our top songs from video games in general. Today, I am going to right this wrong with a…
A Trio of Silly Glitches
Sometimes, even our games like to play little pranks on us. And seeing as it is April, what better month to call out my games on their immature behavior? Below we will be discussing three silly glitches I encountered during my recent gaming endeavors.
YouTube Highlights, Weekly Edition #46
And so it is…that time. That time of the week to…to…have some fun! Yes, we are more than ready to welcome in another weekend by celebrating our week’s YouTube Highlights! While we shed a tear in saying goodbye to one Let’s Play, we were thrilled to welcome in another. And this one’s sure to not disappoint,…
