10 Characters that I want in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
With the release of the next fighter for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate creeping ever closer, fans wonder who else could be joining the cast of 76 characters. Over the years, the Smash Bros games have gone from being a series where you pit your favorite Nintendo characters against each other to being a celebration of gaming as a whole when characters like Sonic and Snake made their debuts in Brawl. Fast forward a handful of years and we have a plethora of third party fighters like Mega Man, Pac Man, Ryu, Cloud and more. After Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie, Terry Bogart and Byleth were added thanks to the first Fighter Pas, it was announced that there would be a second Fighter Pass with six more fighters joining the roster. It has already been revealed that the first of these six characters would be a character from one of Nintendo’s newest IPs: ARMS. That character is set to be revealed on June 22, but there are still five other spots up for grabs. With so many possibilities for those spots, it was rather tough to narrow this list down to just 10, so I needed to set some ground rules first.

Animal Crossing New Horizons
I have long wanted to play games in the Animal Crossing franchise, but I was always consumed with school and never found the time until Covid-19 made everyone shelter in place. Yes, Covid-19 is serious, but it did give many people free time and left them unemployed, including me.

The UPDATED History of Nintendo’s Paper Mario
Before getting into Paper Mario for what the series has become today, we first have to talk about Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Super Mario RPG was developed in 1996 by the video game company Square, and was officially published by Nintendo. It was produced by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto; creator of Mario and other Nintendo icons like Donkey Kong & The Legend of Zelda. The companies began development in mid 1994 and had already finished a prototype by the summer of 1995. It was announced shortly after at the Jump Festa in Japan, welcomed with a positive and excited reception.

Animal Crossing is Getting Old
Animal Crossing: New Horizons came at a perfect time. We were inbetween acceptance and denial, reaching for something to bring back normality. Thankfully, that's Animal Crossing's whole thing. We were all chomping at the bit to start our island adventures with some even petitioning for the game to be released early. It started off amazingly, with all the brand new features like keeping us island representatives active. And then some of us hit a wall.

10 of the Best Side Quests in Breath of the Wild
I don't think any other game has sucked me in as hard as Breath of the Wild has done. This game has brought me an insane amount of joy. The Legend of Zelda has always been my favourite game franchise. One of the things that make the games so good, are the fun side quests. I know we're all different types of gamers, and I'm of the 100% completion kind. I absolutely love side quests, and Breath of the Wild did not disappoint me. Here are the ten side quests I had the most fun completing (spoiler alert?).

A Classic in its Own Right
We are all aware of the large spectrum of games available to the public. On one hand, we have our hardcore gamers who live for the Souls series and frequent the FG community to participate in FighterZ or MVC3. Then there are the more calming, sandbox games such as Minecraft and, of course, Animal Crossing. AC premiered back in 2001 on the Nintendo 64 in Japan. Now, in 2020, Nintendo released New Horizons in March with amazing reception, surpassing Nintendo's lifetime sales predictions within the first 11 days. As a veteran AC player, I am not suprised in the slightest.

Super Mario 64 is one of the best games ever made, hands down. But as with most of the games you get really into, it gets frustrating when things are tricky. Here are the ten most frustrating power stars from the game (in my opinion).

Animal Crossing and the Law of Attraction
For those who aren't familiar with Animal Crossing or the law of attraction, here's a quick overview of both: Animal Crossing is a fun and lighthearted video game by Nintendo in which you as a human interact with a community of anthropomorphized animals. This article points to examples from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, available for iOS and Android (though any version of Animal Crossing will display many similar and some identical features to those mentioned here). You can download Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for free on the App Store or get it on Google Play.

Ranking My 'Animal Crossing' Villagers
Dear Vocal Readers, Oh, Animal Crossing, how it really has been a lighthouse beam of happiness during these chaotic times. This game has been providing me with memories ever since the original DS version. All the nights I stayed up with Brewster just to see K.K. for a good two minutes are well remembered and cherished. But now we have been blessed with the newest title which has brought all the amazing villagers we have ever known back to us and vamped everything up. The only problem: getting the villagers you want. I know that there are surely characters I am still looking out for *cough* Lily *cough*. But for now I am stuck with 10 villagers; some of whom I love and others I wish to forget. The ones at the bottom of this list know who they are as they have been getting ignored and hit with nets for the past week. You came here for a list though, and now that list shall begin! From worst to best here is my list of Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers.

Animal Crossing New Horizons a first impressions. Top Story - April 2020.
Is 10 days enough for a review, no? I would call this a first impression of Animal Crossing New Horizons. My last article did well when the game was newly released. I have clocked around 70 hours of playing and I'm still playing at least 3 hours every day.
