Christmas, Christmas time is here! And whether you’re still reveling in gifts or looking for a cozy spot to take a nap on this day after, it’s also as good a time as any to pick up a controller and dive into a game or seven. In my household, the season of Christmas and New…
Listmas 2019: 5 Best ‘Waiting Around’ Moments
Idle animations have always be somewhat underappreciated in games, don’t you think?

Tricks, Treats, and Feats: Super Mario 64’s 120 Stars
When The Duck, Hatm0nster, and I were knocking around ideas for our “Tricks, Treats, and Feats” series, a big, personal question stuck in my mind. “What are my gaming feats?” Ye olde dictionary describes a “feat” as “an achievement that requires great courage, skill, or strength.” Inasmuch as strength isn’t really a part of gaming,…
