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…

Listmas 2019: Top 6 Favorite Modes of Transportation
This week, we’re covering our favorite modes of transportation in gaming. And when I started thinking about all the possible options for this particular list, I realized that there is truly a wide variety of ways to get around. And they don’t all have to be vehicles, either. And so, below are the Duck’s top…
Day 22: A Game Sequel Which Disappointed You
As I slowly inch my way forward through the 30 days’ worth of video game topics, I arrive upon a pretty easy one, a game sequel which disappointed me. One game in particular springs to mind, but since it is such an obvious choice, I also wanted to briefly discuss one of the biggest crimes…
Knights of the Round is Overpowered (and I’m Glad)
In the near past, I had been working through my second playthrough of the amazing Final Fantasy VII, a PS1 classic that surely needs no introduction. While I adore this game and am happy to say it is one of the few games I went into with high expectations, and was not disappointed, I gotta…
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…
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…
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…
