I Loved Zelda-ween!

You know, it’s still kind of insane to me that we’ve managed to last 10+ years as a blog. Most of our peers from that time have, for one reason or another, moved onto other things yet here we are somehow still chugging right along. We’re all going to talk about that a bit more…

A Wild Ride: The Past Decade in Gaming

It’s kind of hard to believe that ten-plus years have already passed since we started Virtual Bastion (then “United We Game”) back in 2013. Our little space on the net isn’t quite what it was in the beginning, but I like to think that we haven’t changed all *that* much over the course of the…

Still Going Strong: Celebrating Virtual Bastion’s 10th Anniversary

It seems like another lifetime ago that three bloggers – Hatm0nster, The Duck of Indeed, and myself — came together to form United We Game. The site, which debuted in the spring of 2013, was all about sharing our love of gaming and inviting others to share their own gaming stories. As time went on,…

When Games Bring Out Your Ugly Side

For the most part, I think games are supposed to be a relaxing thing. Once your day is done and its compliment of tasks are completed, enjoying a game should be a matter of stress-free fun. I think this is mostly the case for single player games, but, for me, multiplayer is a different story….

Big Times in Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Over my winter break, I was looking to clear out my backlog a little, and I stumbled across Sackboy: A Big Adventure. It had become free at some point through PS Plus, and as I had heard decent things about it when it was new, I snatched it up…only to have it sit, sit, and…

Fall of Porcupine: Demo Review

Fall of Porcupine follows the story of a new doctor named Finley at the underfunded St. Ursula’s Hospital in the small town of Porcupine, inhabited only by anthropomorphic animals.  The demo took me about 1.5 hours to complete, and in that time, I mainly focused on treating three patients, hanging out with fellow coworkers Karl…
