By Keith Mitchell, Todd Black, Tyler Kelbaugh, William "Shadowz" Kok, Josh Piedra, Veronica and Clinton Bowman-ChristieJanuary 1, 2019
A look back 2018 - all articles

Well, we did it. We made it to 2019, it’s a brand new year with that the team here at The Outerhaven wanted to reflect on the status of video gaming,  film & TV and video games from throughout the year.

The result is our “A Look Back” series, that focuses on three criteria; What worked well, what didn’t work out and what we hope to see in the future. They’re sort of like report cards, but they aren’t graded and are less informal. Of course, these are our opinions on each respective topic. Meaning our views may not align with yours, then again maybe they will. 

That said, please enjoy our “A Look Back” articles and as always, please leave a comment if you agree, disagree or just want to say hello.

Tyler Kelbaugh is a Nintendo writer for The Outerhaven Productions. He fell in love with gaming at the ripe young age of 4, a passion born from years of consistently failing to survive Marble Zone. If you mention the words "Fire Emblem" around him he'll talk your ear off. He's also a pretty competent Smash Bros. player, and a passionate sports fan.
