When I saw the E3 trailer for Kingdom Hearts III, I was honestly not all that excited about it. I used to be a massive Kingdom Hearts fan back when it was still relatively new. I knew Sora’s story backwards and forwards; I mastered the combat; I completed both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 multiple…

Fun with FF7’s Chocobo Breeding
When I play video games, I usually enjoy focusing on the main game first and foremost. Anything outside that, more often than not, feels like a waste of my time. And yet, when I give said diversions a chance, they often turn out to be much more fun than I would have expected. A recent…
Listmas 2018: Games I Want to Play Next Year
Last week, the Duck talked about games I didn’t get around to playing in 2018. In my final Listmas post, I shall be looking to the future and listing the games I plan to play in 2019! There are some pretty good ones coming up this year….
Listmas 2018: Games I Didn’t Get to Play This Year
With 2018 nearly at an end, we’re spending this week listing the games we wanted to play, but didn’t get around to. The Duck’s list is going to include games released in 2018, plus a few others.
Octopath Traveler is the Right Kind of Simple
I’ve been finding myself drawn to games that don’t require all that much thought lately. I mean that’s not exclusively what I’ve been playing, quite the opposite actually. Now that I’ve finished Vampyr (finally!), I feel like I can act on this attraction (such as it is). It’s kind of strange, but as my working…
Hopefully Conquering Final Fantasy 8: Part 4 – The Moment of Truth
My most recent playthrough of Final Fantasy VIII has been going swimmingly. Or, to be more accurate, it was. Because it has now come to an end. I pretty much completed every extra task, with the exception of winning Doomtrain back from the Queen of Cards’ son. He just wouldn’t use it. Except for this…
The Duck’s Top 10 Video Game Songs
While we have discussed often songs that have resonated with us (and the Duck has frequently listed top 5’s and 10’s from various games over on my own blog), we have yet to compile a list of our top songs from video games in general. Today, I am going to right this wrong with a…
Hopefully Conquering Final Fantasy 8: Part 3
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…
Octopath Traveler Introduces Final Two Characters, Reveals Features
Fans of the classic Final Fantasy games may have something to forward to this July. See, Square-Enix is releasing a new JRPG on the Switch that both calls back to the classic 2D JRPGs and advances the genre in significant, but somewhat subtle ways. This game is known as Octopath Traveler, an RPG that puts…
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…
