Hey, folks, I’m going to be completely upfront with you about this one. I’m writing about creepy lore in the Kirby series. And before you laugh and walk away, bear with me for a moment longer. Sure, at first glance, Kirby might seem like the cutest franchise to have ever existed. But when you recall…

Kirby’s Dream Land 3 Review
For the last ten years, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and I have kept passing each other by, with no more than mere glances in the other’s direction before ultimately going our separate ways. Whether in the form of a physical SNES cartridge or a quick download vie the Wii U Virtual Console, I have had…
The Collector’s Mentality
This particular post is something that I wrote…a long time ago, but never got around to publishing until today. It involved a question that arose about my gaming habits while I was replaying Kirby 64 several years back, and I thought it was about time I finally got around to voicing this question out loud…

Yep, even in games like those, things that would be considered wrong in real life are deemed perfectly acceptable. What am I talking about? Well, have you ever…
The Return of Side-Scrollers and a Quick Discussion of Other Trends in Gaming
Not long ago, I was playing a game on the Wii called “Muramasa: The Demon Blade”. This game is a side-scrolling action game, and it got me thinking about something likely much more than a normal person should have. But, since I’m already thinking about it, I may as well drag you into my thoughts,…
The Duck’s Personal Trials and Joys of Multiplayer Gaming
I am a solitary gamer. I hardly ever do any multiplayer, and I have never done any online multiplayer gaming (except PC gaming once playing “Runescape” on an old computer that froze every two seconds). Just never wanted to, plus no way am I paying to use XBox Live. You raise the price of each…
