Shadow is back with us this week to talk about a new update that, well, may not have been as awesome as many were hoping. It's probably best to let Shadow tell you all about it, since he definitely knows this game better than I do. read

About ChillyBillyone of us since 7:08 PM on 02.03.2007
I'm the former Community Playdate Manager for Destructoid. Looking to play some games with other Dtoiders? Check out the forums and watch the blogs and front page for all of the fun!
I'm definitely more "collector" than gamer these days. Sure I still play my Wii U/ Xbox One/PS4/Vita and 3DS, and I love them all, but I just don't have the free time to play them like I used to.
I started my gaming life on an old Atari 2600 that my dad bought us for Christmas. I used to frequent the local arcade (early 80's) and I have a passion for anything pinball.
As of this update (2/20/2016) I currently have:
50 Consoles
61 Handhelds
2100 physical copies of various games
350 digital copies of games
Tons of other video game related items
Comic books? Yep, I read 'em. Here are some of my all-time favorites.
Cerberus the Aardvark
Groo the Wanderer
Howard the Duck
Usagi Yojimbo
BatMan
I also love music, all types really. If I had to pick a favorite album of all time I would have to go with:
The Cure: Disintegration. This album is perfect, from beginning to end.
My daughter is also a gamer of sorts, here she is lavishing in all of her Nintendo plushies:
Oh yea, did I mention that I love Pinball more than any other game ever? Because I totally do.
I also like to doodle when I'm bored, as seen below
I drew that when I was bored.
Sometimes, when I'm not gaming or collecting I'll post blogs, here are a couple recent ones:
ChillyBilly's Hidden Gems - Nano Assault
Tales from the Battlefield - Operation Rolling Hell
My Time so far with Battlefield 3
