Today the Duck is continuing my little glitch series with a description of glitches involving injustice in this already unfair world. These glitches involve the unfair deaths and restarts that can sometimes be as amusing as they are frustrating. Sometimes, your characters end up in another dimension (at least, they might as well be): In…

The Eighth Console Generation: Will the Duck Buy…the Wii U?
With a new generation of consoles upon us, every gamer has to think about if they’ll be buying the new consoles and which ones. With unpleasant rumors circulating about and consoles seeming to emphasize games less and less, it is more than just a matter of buying a new console that has the games you…

Glitches Involving Capricious Audio
A little while ago, Cary wrote a post about some glitches in a damaged copy of “The Last of Us” that ruined the game for her, which got me thinking about how much fun I have talking about glitches, no matter how bothersome they can be. Because not all glitches are purely upsetting. Some can…

Resonance: In the Darkness
Video from Youtube user: BrawlBRSTMs3 Hatm0nster was kind enough to let me use his “Resonance” idea, where, if you haven’t yet read these delightful posts, he discusses a particular song from a video game that stands out to him. I have the same love for video game music, as the right music can bring you…
Community Post: Buy One, Get One Free
My fondest memories of cheat codes and unlockable content are firmly rooted in the Playstation One era. Video games had finally made the transition to disc-based media, and this upgrade provided developers with even more room to flex their creative muscles.
