What’s Christmas without snow? As a result, for my next listmas list, I thought it would be nice to list some chilly things, particularly chilly characters.

A Better Way to Level Up
I have mixed feelings about leveling up in video games. As we all know, this common feature of RPG’s allows us to make our characters more powerful and, in any game that includes it, it is typically a requirement.

The makings of a physical game collection (on “paper,” at least)
As much as I love spending time with video games of the here and now, part of me will forever be stuck in gaming’s past. I can’t deny the desire to pick up on great titles that I missed. Now, I don’t always want to look to the past with gaming, but when I do,…

My Favorite (April) Fools
April Fool’s Day may have already come and gone, but that’s not going to stop me from writing a post for this rather silly holiday, and it’s not going to stop me from asking a question. Who is your favorite video game fool? You know, an idiotic character that you can’t help but love. The…
The Duck’s Top Three Overlooked Games
One would think that the best games would also be the most well-known, which is often the case, but there are times that I decide to give some obscure game a chance and am baffled at how such an amazing game could have been forgotten so. I have several such games that are quite dear…
