    Hey all you good folks, I want to provide a brief introduction to what I hope will be a somewhat consistent series here on this blog. Introducing "Wyn talks Anime", a place for me to write about my favorite anime, or review ones that I'm currently watching, hopefully with a little bit of me talking storytelling in general. So today we've got my spoiler-free thoughts on My Hero Academia season 1, alongside my musings on what makes an excellent first season of a show.
    Spoilers for length

    I'm spoiling this for length, and for some vague plot elements being given away. Writing reviews is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I've written and filmed quite a few, despite never making one publicly available. Hope y'all enjoy, and perhaps a few of you on the fence about this game will end up buying it

    First things first, I'm gonna define what I mean by 'games of 2019.' While some of them may have come out in 2019, I'm purely referencing games that I played this year to a satisfactory completion point. They will be listed in no particular order.
    1. Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This year has been the year of JRPGs for me, and Three Houses is easily the best of that format that I've played. The Chess-like battles and required strategy/tactics was refreshing, along with providing some challenge. The characters are all lovable, and it has come to a point where they are all my children. (I swear my level of attachment to fictional characters is in no way indicative of a poor social life). The plot is massive, and with a total of 4 variations of the campaign, it will definitely be providing more fun in the future. I would recommend this game so much as to say that if you don't have a Switch, I would buy one just for this game (if you have the money to spare.)
    2. Octopath Traveler. This game is the perfect fusion of classic retro JRPGs with modern videogame storytelling and musical composition. It was also my introduction to the JRPG genre, which it turns out, fits my style to a tee. I would say that either the Switch edition, or the PC is good (On Steam). I have a lot to say about this game, in fact, I have a full length review written for it, based on my over 100 hours of gameplay time. (So keep an eye out for that, coming soon)
    3. Hollow Knight. If you are looking for a game with loads to do, but are low on budget, Hollow Knight is the game for you. At only $15, it has at least 100 hours worth of content to explore, with charming art, lovable characters, and incredibly dark and sad lore. This game is challenging, with over twenty unique boss battles, some optional areas of emotionally destructive platforming, and mind-warping tunnels.
    I love playing games, and these three are some of the best I've played recently.

    Introductions

    By Wyndlerunner,

    Hello Folks! I'm assuming most of you are just people who happen to want to know what I think about things. I'm a proud geek, but since geekiness varies for us all, I figured I'd post a general guidelines of what geekiness constitutes for me. (AKA my interests)
    Video games: If it's not on a Nintendo console, odds are I probably haven't, or will play it. I have a deep love of RPGs, or any game that tells a good story. I love games that challenge me, but not ones that challenge me to a maddening extent.
    Movies: Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings
    Television: Avatar, The Dragon Prince, Voltron.
    Other Books: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Wheel of Time.
    Hope that serves as an introduction and a guidelines as to whether or not you'll enjoy this blog
    --- Wyn
