Listmas 2022: Cary’s hopes for the next Fable game

I could easily list of a dozen things I’d want as far as gaming goes this Christmas, but none are quite as close to my heart as craving the next game in the Fable series. In as much as games like Super Metroid, Super Mario World, and Sam & Max: Hit the Road shaped my…

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: Cary’s most wanted remakes/remasters

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…

Listmas 2022: The Duck’s Remake Wish List

It should be no surprise that I’ve accumulated quite a selection of games over the years, many of which I received as Christmas presents.  Of course, new games are usually my top priority, but if only I could revisit some of my most cherished, existing games in a remastered format.  Whether or not my wish…

Listmas 2022: Gaming’s Coziest Spots

While gaming is usually about braving dangerous places in order to defeat the monsters living therein, sometimes gamers are treated to places that are just…nice.

Listmas 2022: Cary’s coziest picks

If the onset of winter each year conjures one and only one feeling, it has to be the need to feel cozy. Bundled up. Safe and warm. Maybe a fireplace crackles in the background or a warm beverage sits nearby. The surrounding space could be tight, or it could be expansive – either way, the…

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…

All We Want for #Listmas2022 is…

Ahhh, there’s nothing quite like the turn of winter. Blankets, warm beverages, fluffy sweaters and slippers, all good signs that it’s time to “chill” out with one’s favorite games. If you’ve been following Virtual Bastion for a while (if so, thank you!), then you know what this time of year means…it’s Listmas-time! This year marks…

Listmas 2021: Favorite Things in Conker’s Bad Fur Day

Over on our YouTube channel, my playthrough of Rare’s now-classic 3D platformer (and then some), Conker’s Bad Fur Day, recently wrapped up, and the game’s been on my mind since. This is thanks, in part, to the fact that I recently tried out its remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, which I had never played before….

Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Funniest Games

During last year’s Listmas, we spent a week discussing our favorite comedic gaming moments.  This year, for the Duck’s free choice, I thought it would be fun to list some of the funniest games, in general, that I’ve ever played.  After all, who doesn’t want to end the holiday season with some good cheer?  As…
