Alas, the ShadowhornGG Kickoff Giveaway has come to an end and it's time to announce our winners! Not only that but I have important streaming changes for you all. Did you win a prize?

It is with great honor and pleasure that I announce to you all that I now work as the Community Manager for Titan, one of the world's best eSports organizations with teams in both SMITE and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

As with any project, there is always room for improvement. This post will announce the winners of the Heroes of the Storm Closed Beta Key Giveaway and address some up coming website changes.

Heroes of the Storm has gained international coverage bringing Blizzard back into the spotlight. A friend of mine at Blizzard threw a few keys my way and so I want to share them with you in this months giveaway.

One of SMITE's largest fansites has been gracious enough to provide me with this month's giveaway. Would you like to win an exclusive in-game icon representing Smite Community? Want to find out if you won in the March giveaway?

Were you unable to attend PAX East this year? I've pooled together some codes that were given out ranging from Alienware Ra to Convention 2015 Tyr including exclusive SMITE Xbox One Alpha Codes.

There comes a time in a young-mans life when he realizes that he's getting old... Today is that day. I want to share my birthday with you so I'm giving away a SMITE Jack the Reaper skin code!

The other day, the SMITE community was given a plethora of new content and skins in the 2/18/15 patch notes. Thanks to smitedatamining.com we also uncovered a new Ares skin! Care to find out more?

After the SMITE World Championships 2014, Cognitive Red and Cognitive Prime went their separate ways. It was just announced that Cognitive will be picking up the roster of What's Kraken for the 2015 year.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. SMITE Pro League Qualifiers Week 1: EU came to a close with  Trig eSports facing off against Panthera. Hosted by Ghandi and HiRez Bart, the action was both up close and personal.

CompLexity vs. Five Angry Men was the hype on both Twitter and Twitch in the days leading up to SPL Qualifiers Week 1. With tension building up around every corner, Hi-Rez Studios' Ghandi & F. enthusiastically led the stream.

Many of our questions have finally been answered in regards to Crowfall's pricing and other options pertaining to a USD value. ArtCraft released the following statement in their new Pricing FAQ.

It's that time of the year again! Wizard101 brings out Pack-A-Palooza, offering all packs with a 50% off discount! Now through February 8th, all packs far and wide are available including the Holiday Packs and Dragon's Hoard pack!

Over the past few days, SMITE has been having sale after sale. Two days ago I noticed that they were having a 50% off all Voice Packs sale and being me, I wanted to jump on this opportunity.

According to a tweet made by Crowfall's Art Lead, Dave Greco, the newly released Fae Assassin is now his bae - er I mean, girlfriend. Dave figured the wife wouldn't approve and Crowfall seconded that saying, "Yeah Dave, you might what to rethink that one." Dave, Dave, Dave... What a character lol.

The Fae Assassin has a brand new fancy archetype page which includes an in-game photo along with a back story and concept art.

Backstory:

I had a brother, once… for a few minutes. I think I was born first?

The Farewell Kiss is swift and painless. We are not monsters, after all. No one needs to suffer. 

Some mothers cry. Some plead for assistance. My mother did neither. 

For generations, this has been our practice. For generations, we have known peace. 

Men do not belong in the Riverlands…. not even the breeders. They are captured, they serve their purpose, and they are killed. Many treat their enemies less kindly, I think. 

Think of the worst tyrant in history. How many lives could have been saved – how many wars averted – by a sharp blade, at the moment of his birth? 

Why did I say HIS birth? 

You know why. When I asked you to think of a tyrant, no woman crossed your mind. One life, for many. Quite the bargain, yes? 

I say to you: the Hunger is not your enemy. Your enemy walks among you, charming and handsome, with a tongue full of lies.

 I don't know about all of you, but being of the male gender, I am pretty scared for my life. Then again, she says that many treat their enemies less kindly (or so she thinks) so maybe going out in that manner isn't too bad? For the Fae, man seems to be the enemy, the tyrant that they seek out to destroy.

We also have gotten a new look at her stats. Compared to the Legionnaire who is a Melee-DPS class, his statistics focus on Strength Dexterity, Spirit, and Intellect in that order.




If you look at that photo on the right side, it is a in-game shot of the Fae Assassin fighting the Hunger-infected Fall Gryphon. If you saw the Fall Gryphon concept art, it's amazing how well they brought it to life and replicated it to the t. If you look closer, you can tell that the castle has Malekai banners draped on it's walls. I'm willing to bet my crush coins that this Fae is part of the Malekai.

What are your thoughts on the newly announced Fae Assassin? What are your thoughts on her specs and how she was created in-game? Any opinion on her backstory and how they built her?

I have been blogging about Wizard101 for over four years, touching on the many aspects and content the game has to offer. I am proud to be a Thaumaturge, learning the many spells the Ice School has to offer. I can typically be found playing on Realm Scarecrow, Area 1 under one of my various characters, all named Blaze Shadowhorn.
