More siblings hit Fire Emblem Heroes

Intelligent Systems seems to be hitting a pretty solid stride with Fire Emblem Heroes content introduction, as six new heroes have been released just about two weeks after our last batch. As part two in what is apparently a series of siblings getting released into the game - unfortunately killing my hopes of seeing characters …

Reflections on the 2017 International Challenge for February

I don't usually start these posts with a look behind the curtain, but I figure this seems like an alright time to do so. To be frank, I expected to have this post out a couple of weeks ago.  Jokes on me for expecting the battle record results to be released right after the competition, …

Lots of crazy stuff happened last night and we wound up staying until the early hours of this morning producing our last issue of the week. It wound up being arguably one of the best issues I've helped put together in my opinion. As far as my own written contribution went, my co-editor Sarah and I …

Preparing for battle – The 2017 International Challenge for February

I put a lot of pomp and circumstance around my entry (or lack thereof) in the Pokémon Sun and Moon Alola Friendly battle competition when it came around last month.  With Pokémon standing in pretty consistently as my favorite video game series, competitive team building and battling has been one of the things that has …

Another year older, 20 years in

If I had any sense of comedic timing, I would've figured out that a year ago I should have waited a few extra days to create my blog so I could coincide that birthday with my really for real birthday today. Oh well.  Water under the bridge I suppose. And water everywhere for that matter, …

A promising amount of staying power

Just about two weeks after the game's initial launch, Fire Emblem Heroes has received a new set of downloadable content that, despite being small, gives me some hope that this mobile game will keep itself in the hands of fans for some time to come; Yes that's right, new heroes have arrived.  Two heroes from …

Valentine’s Day 2017

For a soon to be 20-year-old bachelor on Valentine's Day, it helps to remember the small things that make what would otherwise be something similar to every other day into something more special thanks to that spirit of love in the air. Like staying up into the early hours of the morning reading a book …

February 13, 2017 Article Published

I frankly relish the opportunities I get to mix work with leisure once in a while.  Like when I had the chance to review Pokémon Sun and Moon for the Daily Titan, this week I published an article reviewing my latest mobile game obsession: Fire Emblem Heroes. After the practice I had writing that Pokémon …

Happy birthday, blog

As I've just been made aware, February 6, 2016 was the day I first created this blog. I'm a little late to the party considering it's about 11:00 p.m. or so when I'm writing this... But it's been a bit of a long day, so forgive me. To be completely honest, I never expected that …

Fire Emblem Heroes: Doing fan service right

Today, after I finished with my classes, I started messing around with Fire Emblem Heroes, the new mobile game released by Nintendo just a few hours ago.  When the game was talked about just a few weeks ago in the Fire Emblem Direct I got pretty excited for it just based on the concept of a …
