The Joy-Con Drift Strikes Again
It’s official, the infamous Joy-Con drifting issue so prevalent in recent gaming news has taken yet another victim. My Nintendo Switch is less than a year old, with a large portion of those months not even spent using the console (I don’t have that many games on it yet). And my left Joy-Con analog stick…

Good day, everyone! I recently got a copy of Super Mario Maker 2 and have been spending many hours playing through all kinds of cool and creative stages created by fellow Mario fans all across the globe. Which got me thinking…it could be really cool to record your Mario Maker stages on our Virtual Bastion…
Challenge Mode: Assorted Metroid Prime 2 Baddies
The Metroid Prime games are some of the most challenging I’ve faced. The first two, in fact, had to originally be completed over the course of years as I got stuck at one boss after another. While this issue has since been eliminated due to simply growing as a gamer, it is the second game…

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…
Unforgettable: 8-Bit Grannies World Tour
In the not too distant past, I decided to replay Rayman Legends. Like its predecessor, Rayman Origins, this game is the perfect combination of beautiful, challenging, and sometimes, downright weird. Out of a plethora of strange moments, none are so memorable for me as the music levels, even more so when you consider their 8-bit…
I Almost Got a VR Headset
Despite finding the idea of virtual reality fascinating, the thought of actually buying a VR headset, of taking the next step into immersive gaming, has always…kind of scared me. Those bulky headsets are just a bit intimidating, to be honest.
