A New Kind of Trash Talk

Alright Duck fans, want to see something that will make your blood boil? Game designers, known as A Flat Miner Studios, have recently created a game based off of a childhood favorite: NES’s Duck Hunt. The new game, titled Ducks Hunt, depicts Oregon Ducks flying over a poorly animated football field where you, the game player, have a chance to shoot down the duck.

Upon shooting the duck, the famed FSU fight song plays while an FSU player raises up a dead duck. The game is created by Jesse and Jodi Slade, who appear to have relation to FSU since Jodi is mentioned on the FSU booster page.

The game, although clearly meant to be a joke, loses its charm pretty quickly. The one thing it certainly has going for itself though is that it’s an excellent form of trash talk. Sure people can reference stats and game footage- basically anything they want to argue why their team is better- but FSU certainly has a leg up on the insulting video game front.

I think it’s time for the Ducks out in the engineering program to work on a special winter project. Here’s a link to the game if you want to check it out and have yourself a quick laugh.

New 2024 FishDuck Publishing Schedule….

During the off-season the FishDuck.com publishing schedule will consist of articles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Do keep checking as new articles could be published during the week when a writer has something to say.

In mid-August of 2024, we will go back to the seven-days-a-week of articles during the football season as we did in the football season of 2023.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
