I’m still working diligently on Final Fantasy VIII, using guides as I go so as not to miss anything. (I was using a guide on a website called Jegged, but then I kept getting lots of weird popups, so I switched to IGN.) I have recently reached disc 3 and am currently all caught up…

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.
Crash’s Ugly Twin: Trash Bandicoot
For the month of April, we thought it would be fitting to cover all the silliness gaming has to offer. For the Duck’s first post of the month, I thought I’d talk a little bit about a rather wacky series I recently had the pleasure of playing, Crash Bandicoot.
Hopefully Conquering Final Fantasy 8: Part 2
I’ve been slowly and steadily making progress in Final Fantasy 8, and I must say, I feel like I’m finally starting to get the hang of things. As of writing this, I have just reached disc 2, and I have grown far fonder of the game and its characters than I did on my first…
Hopefully Conquering Final Fantasy 8: Part 1
I’m sure you’ve all heard me complain about it, many times before, but I was never able to beat Final Fantasy 8. I think it was due to a complete lack of understanding as to how Junctioning works, along with the fact that enemies become more powerful the more you level up, that accounted for…
Listmas 2017: 7 Games I Played 20+ Years After Their Release
In the Duck’s previous Listmas post, I listed a group of games that I played 10-19 years after their release dates. Now we’re getting into the really retro stuff, which were released a whopping two decades before my sorry self finally got around to playing them. For clarification, this list does not include the original…
Listmas 2017: 6 Games I Played 10-19 Years After Their Release
As punctual as the Duck is when it comes to appointments and meeting deadlines, I am often horrendously late when it comes to games. In fact, in recent years, I think I have spent more time playing catch-up than I have actually enjoying recent titles. Out of curiosity, I thought it would be fun to…
Listmas 2017: 5 Games That Kicked My Butt
With Christmas arriving in just a few more weeks, it seems like a time to be positive. To be filled with holiday cheer and good will towards men and women and little children alike. Even so, I’ve never been the most optimistic person out there, so inevitably my thoughts turn to things like…the games that…
The Road Better Left Untaken
I love Crash but playing through the Crash Bandicoot N’ Sane Trilogy reminded me of just how infuriating the original game could be. It requires much greater levels of precision and endurance than its successors, and there no level that typifies this more than “The High Road’. I truly, absolutely, wholeheartedly, and unabashedly hate “The…
What is Your Gaming Pet Peeve?
Pet peeves. We all have them, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Many involve ordinary, everyday life. Maybe you don’t like when people walk on your carpet without taking their shoes off. Maybe you get really irritated when people leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store. …
