Gaming Bucket List – Things All Gamers Should Do At Least Once

These are the things all gamers should do at least once during their lifetimes. 

August 1, 2019

We’ve all done stupid stuff in games, whether intentionally or by total accident. Some moments get ingrained into our brains for the rest of our lives, while others are quickly replaced by the next outrageous thing. Because, let’s face it, video games can get pretty chaotic – have you ever played a bullet-hell game? – and this is exactly what we love about them.

However, there’s something to be said in favor of cataloging them, not necessarily for historical purposes, but simply for inventorying moments that would otherwise get lost in time. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of 50 things every gamer should do at least once. Some of them are as simple as pressing a few buttons, while others will require some effort.

1 Increase Igni to Firestream in Witcher 3 and then try and set fire to the members of the Eternal Fire in Novigrad.

2 Try to jump off a cliff while riding Roach. (The Witcher 3)

3 Finish Papers Please without breaking anything in deep frustration.

4 Get a two-star wanted level in Grand Theft Auto 4 for hitting a police officer with a soda can.

5 Rushing mid on dust_2 without smoke cover in CS:GO.

I can reproduce every scene from The Sopranos word by word. I also like to talk endlessly about weirdly specific game mechanics and tropes. But I guess that's par for the course, right?
