Barely Scratching the Surface of Undertale Easter Eggs

Undertale was groundbreaking in its time.  A game that broke the mold, where you had the potential to spare every enemy instead of fighting them.  Filled with lovable characters that you may or may not have chosen to massacre depending on the route you were taking, this game also boasted a jarring mix of quirky…

The Duck’s Most Anticipated Games of 2025

Last week, we looked to the past, discussing our top games from 2024.  Now, it’s time to look forward and list the most exciting upcoming releases (alongside one obligatory entry that I keep including for some reason).  Unlike last year, 2025 looks like a pretty exciting year for gamers, with a variety of horror games…

Listmas 2024: Friends and Family Are the Greatest Gift of All

The one thing more important than gifts and good food during the Christmas season (as much fun as they are) is having friends and family to share the holidays with.  (After all, who else is going to give you those presents, ha ha!)  So it’s about time we listed some of the gaming relationships that…

Listmas 2024: The Duck’s Favorite Teammates

RPGs are typically known for their grand stories and complex characters.  Alongside turn-based fighting where allies and foes alike take turns slapping each other silly.  Ahem, considering these kinds of games usually give us a wide array of characters that we can choose to travel alongside us, we thought it would be a good idea…

The Duck’s Ten Best Games of the Last Ten Years

Ten years have gone by, and now it’s time to list the Duck’s ten very favorite games from the last decade, ranging from horror to Metroidvania to expansive adventure and platformer games.  The last decade saw the release of some pretty amazing games from well-known series, along with a whole bunch of amazing indie gems. …

Listmas 2023: Unique Gifts for Undertale Fans

Like a lot of people, I love collecting cool merch for my favorite games.  At first, I really only bought the occasional plush or Funko.  When I first really got into collecting game merch, however, was when I happened upon a cool site called Fangamer while on the hunt for a physical copy of Undertale. …

Spooptober: The Amalgamates

Undertale is an odd mixture of quirky humor and downright dark and unsettling moments.  Easily the creepiest location in the game is the True Lab, where the topic of today’s post resides.  But first, I must warn you that spoilers for the True Pacifist Route are beyond this point.

Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Funniest Games

During last year’s Listmas, we spent a week discussing our favorite comedic gaming moments.  This year, for the Duck’s free choice, I thought it would be fun to list some of the funniest games, in general, that I’ve ever played.  After all, who doesn’t want to end the holiday season with some good cheer?  As…

Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Gaming-Themed Meal

Well, this is most assuredly the tastiest week Virtual Bastion has had in a long time.  It’s now the Duck’s turn to write about just a handful of the many video game foods I’d like to try.  I’ve narrowed it down to several sections, Sides, Meals, and Desserts, with three entries each.  Because without some…

Deltarune Chapter 2 is Even Better

After roughly a 3-year wait, the second chapter of Deltarune has finally been released (and for free, no less!).  Considering the long time period between both chapters, I have to admit that I don’t remember Chapter 1 super well, but I can’t shake the feeling that Chapter 2 is even better.  The game might not…
