Styx: Shards of Darkness a True Stealth Experience
I've not completely finished Styx: Shards of Darkness yet but I'm having a really great time with it as I go. Very few things frustrate me in this game, and the more I play it, the more I appreciate the stealth mechanics implemented by the developers.

More Thoughts From Me #61: The Fate(s) of Fire Emblem
With Fire Emblem Echoes on the way, I thought it would be a great time to look back at the Fire Emblem game that came out before it: Fire Emblem Fates. I was a huge fan of those games and they made me a huge fan of Fire Emblem. Why did I like Fire Emblem Fates so much? I bought all three Fire Emblem Fates games: Conquest, Revelations, and Birthright. My original plan was to only buy Conquest. But I…

Video game accessory maker Snakebyte has launched a number of products for the Nintendo Switch, and were nice enough to send over some samples for us to look at. While I'm fairly picky about the accessories I purchase - and frankly, who I purchase them from - I was very impressed with the items Snakebyte had to offer. Although I'm not as familiar with this brand as I am with other popular brands, I extended the same reviewing courtesy to these as I would anything else. And to be honest, Snakebyte is doing something with their peripherals that other companies just aren't!

The Disney Afternoon Collection Is Coming In April
When I was a kid, I was watched all of the Disney Afternoon cartoons: Ducktales, Chip N’Dale, Talespin, Darkwing Duck, and more. I never did play the NES games that were released based on them.

His backstory is actually fairly intriguing, and I've enjoyed slowly learning about what made him the man...augmented man...he is today.
