What I’m Excited to Experience at Fan Expo 2019
For the 9th consecutive year, my wife and I will be making the trek downtown for Fan Expo 2018! Canada’s biggest celebration of all things nerdy and pop culture returns to Toronto, and I’m excited to come back for another round. Here’s a few things I’m excited to experience this time around!
I Need a Hero (Shooter)
Not long after the game’s launch in 2016, I bought Overwatch out of curiosity. It was the biggest game in the world at that point and I wanted to see what the hype was about. As much as I enjoyed it back then, it quickly fell out of my rotation, as I was still investing most of my competitive gaming time into Street Fighter V, and just starting to ramp up my obsession with Pokemon Go. Despite my own pressure and poking from myself and others to get back into it, the game collected dust on my shelf.
Inspired by the recent release of Paladins on the Nintendo Switch, I’ve found myself falling in love with the hero shooter genre as a whole in a big way.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Demo Impressions
Mashing together elements of anime characters and story, European watercolour visuals, Advance Wars strategy, and the type of third-person action you’d find in the Gears of War series, the first Valkyria Chronicles was a novel take on the turn-based strategy game. I didn’t play it until years after the fact and it made a strong imprint on my heart, even though it got too tough towards the end and I never finished it. Not having owned a PSP, I wasn’t able to play the next two entries in the main series, but Valkyria Chronicles 4 is just weeks away from arriving on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Having taken the lengthy demo for a spin on the Switch, I’m very excited to rejoin the battle.
Trade or Keep Mario Tennis Aces?
Mario Tennis Aces has fallen out of my rotation in a big way and I don’t know if I’m better off just trading it while it still has value. I play it one more time before making the big decision!

Favourite Mario Spin-Offs featuring Double Jump
From plumber, to multi-sport athlete, to doctor, Mario has done much more throughout his illustrious career than save the Mushroom Kingdom from the clutches of Bowser. These side hustles of his are documented in dozens – if not hundreds – of spin-off games. Some of these are best left forgotten, but many of them are great and some are arguably more popular than the mainline series of Super Mario games.
With me to discuss some of our favourite Mario spin-off games are Kris and Rachel from Double Jump!
