This is part of a GeekList series that has been on-going for several years. I hope to eventually cover all twelve of the zodiac animals by creating a list for each animal's year. This also means that I will have to keep this up for twelve years!
The year 2018 is upon us and it is the the year of the Dog. The dog represents the element metal and Yang (sunny side). Post games that include dogs! It doesn't matter if they are board games, RPGs, or video games.

New Vegas does NOT have Dogmeat, but it does have Rex, who is much cooler, as you can give him a new BRAIN...

Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life. I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future. H.G. Wells
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Chief Seattle
