Most “gaming” keyboards come with designs that some marketing team somewhere concluded that crazy alien designs are what all gamers want. While I will admit some of them look cool, I personally feel that the alien theme is tired, overdone, and (hopefully) dying. I was lucky enough to spend some time with the tenkeyless (TKL) Cougar Puri which combines its wonderful mechanical keys with a traditional form factor and plain white backlights.

Marvel Heroes Omega – What’s Up with Gazillion? Nobody Seems to Know, But Rumors Swirl
Marvel Heroes Omega and Gazillion Entertainment have been pretty quiet lately. So quiet, in fact, that players and fans are beginning to speculate what might be going on behind the scenes, none of it good either.

– Assassin’s Creed Origins – The Rebirth of Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed is one of those franchises which started out strong but after a few games the shine began to tarnish. I’m not sure what state Origins was in when Ubisoft decided to give it extra time to iterate, but it was clearly time well spent. Origins is exactly what the series needed to make it new and wonderful again. It’s not perfect, but it sets a great roadmap for the future and the imperfections can be honed into something even more incredible.

Wild West Online – WWO Team Back with Grouping Feature Improvements
After a week or two of relative quiet from the Wild West Online team, the posse is back with a brief overview of improvements being made to the grouping system in preparation for Early Access Open Alpha. This was, according to the blog post, the most asked-for feature by the player community.
– Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation – D&D Board Game Adaptation Done Right
Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation is more than a long-winded title. It is a video game adaptation of a board game adaptation of the increasingly popular, you guessed it, Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. As such, the video game has all the same pitfalls and restrictions of the board game without the hassle of setting and cleaning up the board and a lot more visual finesse.
