For my final pick of Silly Scoundrels month, we’re going back to the Sly Cooper series for a look at Dimitri Lousteau. I’m almost certain Dimitri the money-laundering lounge lizard was meant to be a one-off character. Everything about him screams “kooky minor villain,” yet he wound up proving surprisingly popular with the Sly Cooper…

Silly Scoundrels: Mz. Ruby
Hey all, it’s time to kick-off our month of Silly Scoundrels! As Cary explained earlier this week, we’ll be spending this first real month of spring talking about some of our favorite, more comedically-inclined villains. There are plenty of series with goofy baddies, and I the first one to cross my mind was the Sly…
Cheeky Charlatans – Sly Cooper
Let’s get this out of the way, Sly probably isn’t the first character that comes to mind when one thinks of video game charlatans. He’s a thief, but he specializes in stealing from criminals rather than normal folk. So he’s not exactly a charlatan in the normal sense. He does have to don disguises every…
Listmas 2020: Top 5 Characters with Bad First Impressions
They say that “first impressions are everything”. And in the real world, that can often be the case. Because who wants to hang out with someone who acted like a huge creep the first time you met them? Well, video games are a bit different because you may be forced to see a character you…

For our final week of Listmas 2019, we decided to write about anything we felt like. Ironically enough, the Duck usually doesn’t enjoy mini games. In fact, I often resent it when a game makes me play them in order to progress or to obtain an item I need for 100%. However, having recently enjoyed…
Mysterious Squirrels in Sly Cooper 4
Yesterday, I was working on my second playthrough of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time when something bizarre happened. I was in the third location, the Ice Age, just running around, looking for the final clue bottle. And then it happened…
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 2016: Top 6 Locations in Sly Cooper
It was this past year that I finally got around to playing all four games of the Sly Cooper series, a series I fell in love with, in fact, within the first hour. The whole stealth gameplay was very new to me, and I also greatly enjoyed the characters. One other area where this game…
The Simple Pleasures of Exploration in Sly 4
When buying a house, they always say location is everything. Never have I heard this applied to video games, however. What people typically cite as being important to them in gaming is an engaging story or interesting characters, or simply good gameplay. While I would agree that all of those are far more important than…
