You may have read a post I wrote about how I can be a naughty cheater sometimes. You may not have. Here’s a recap: I sometimes cheat at video games. Well, I once took my cheating to a whole new level in “Donkey Kong Country 2” many years ago, back when I was really cruddy…

I Don’t Have the Patience for Multiple Endings
As I’ve been saying, I have been busy catching up on a bunch of old games I was told were the duck’s quack, and one game I beat rather recently was “Chrono Trigger”, a game made by the same developers as “Final Fantasy”. The story involves our heroes traveling through time in their efforts to…
Zelda Limericks
And now, I continue poetry on the topic of my obvious terror of “Zelda” characters with various limericks. Along with a game. Drum roll please. Let’s play…Guess the Monster! Guess which creatures my limericks are describing! And don’t look at the tags, you cheaters!
Lament of the ReDead
A series of four ReDead haiku. Enjoy. If you dare… Uwa-ha-hack cough! Haiku #1 Wrinkled old zombies They are really just Gibdos Without the clothes on Haiku #2 They may be dead, but They know how to boogie when They’re not eating you Haiku #3 Eyes rotted away Mouth never closed; quit screaming You’ll wake…
I Finally Appreciate Handhelds
You may or may not be aware of this, but the Duck has never had a great relationship with handheld video games. They’re just so tiny and cramped and often lack controls sticks, and I just never got along with them very well. Nevertheless, I still have a good number of handheld consoles, largely thanks…
Gaming Humiliation: Constructor X in “Bomberman Generation”
Look at me, the master of creating bizarre series, has done it again. I have started another series, with this one’s purpose being to share with you all sections of games that range from really quite bad to very rather embarrassing. And back again. And a fitting beginning is one boss I have found particularly…
Overlooked: The Hylian Loach
You may or may not be aware of the existence of an elusive fish in “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”, the Hylian loach (which is actually referenced when you catch a loach in the first “Animal Crossing”). I am not certain how I came about knowledge of this particular fish, nor do I…
Overlooked: Shamwood
You may remember a post I wrote about a rather monotonous game called “Quest 64”. It is truly one of the most boring games in existence (even worse than “Chain of Memories”), but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its secrets. Like all secrets, this one took me a while to find out about. Nevertheless,…
Using Games to Get You in the Mood to…Play Games
Many of us have been there. You know that some gaming time is coming your way, be it an hour or seven, and you psych yourself up for it. You plan to jam through game after game after game! Defeating old bosses, facing new ones! Finishing that one game from your backlog that’s been bothering…
Metroid Prime, IT’S GO TIME! (And this time, I’m serious.)
It seems the right combination of inspiration and timing have struck in the midst of my gaming life. At the beginning of this month, my colleague Hatm0nster wrote Finishing Final Fantasy VII, in which he discussed who determined he was to complete this classic game. After reading, it made me think of how I, too,…
