How Time Shortages Turn the Duck Into a Cheat

I used to be a cheater. Fortunately, not the kind one could get in trouble over, but it was something I practiced occasionally, nonetheless. Okay, by occasionally, I mean quite a bit more than occasionally. In fact, I used to do it all the time. I know, I’m a bad person.

I Don’t Have the Patience for Multiple Endings

As I’ve been saying, I have been busy catching up on a bunch of old games I was told were the duck’s quack, and one game I beat rather recently was “Chrono Trigger”, a game made by the same developers as “Final Fantasy”. The story involves our heroes traveling through time in their efforts to…

Zelda Limericks

And now, I continue poetry on the topic of my obvious terror of “Zelda” characters with various limericks. Along with a game. Drum roll please. Let’s play…Guess the Monster! Guess which creatures my limericks are describing! And don’t look at the tags, you cheaters!

Lament of the ReDead

A series of four ReDead haiku. Enjoy.  If you dare…  Uwa-ha-hack cough! Haiku #1 Wrinkled old zombies They are really just Gibdos Without the clothes on Haiku #2 They may be dead, but They know how to boogie when They’re not eating you Haiku #3 Eyes rotted away Mouth never closed; quit screaming You’ll wake…

Dirge of Slender

Time for a series of Slender haiku. Followed by a poem about the one thing even Slender Man can’t compete with….

Jak and Daxter: I Miss the Simple Days

I didn’t already write a post about this, right? I don’t think I did….  Anyway, some time ago, I wrote a post comparing the “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet & Clank” series, and I thought it was high time I gave you guys a more in-depth look at the “Jak” series, one of my favorites,…

Gaming Humiliation: The Massage Mini Game in “FFX-2”

My next post on humiliating and/or embarrassing things in video games was a no-brainer. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of playing “Final Fantasy X-2”, you’ll notice right away that it’s, to put it lightly, silly.  I’m not going to say too much against it, as I know it does have its fans, but I’m…

The Duck Prepares for the Wii U

I’m considering getting a Wii U in the near future, and yet, to be perfectly honest, I don’t really want one. I don’t see anything too appealing about it, and I’ve been largely uninterested in new video games being released anymore (which is why I’ve been busy playing games from 15-20 years ago as of…

Me, Myself, and Video Games

Maybe it’s in response to the recent controversies in gaming revolving around journalism, sexism, and criticism, but lately I’ve noticed an uptick in articles around the blogosphere about why folks game and why video games are important to them. These articles aren’t meant to stir the angst-ridden pot any further, but rather serve as affirmations of…

I Finally Appreciate Handhelds

You may or may not be aware of this, but the Duck has never had a great relationship with handheld video games.  They’re just so tiny and cramped and often lack controls sticks, and I just never got along with them very well.  Nevertheless, I still have a good number of handheld consoles, largely thanks…
