  • Ghost Stories: Pitching an MCU Disney+ Series

    Ant-Man and the Wasp was the Marvel Cinematic Universe at its most vapid. It was a fun chase movie with a few good gags and a lightning fast pace that didn’t delve into its characters to any substantial degree and, apart from a few lines setting up the temporal...

  • The Hunt For The Dragon Balls Begins Anew

    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a huge game. The last few entries in the series have expanded the franchise into a full-blown RPG with hundreds of hours of content across a massive open world. There was some push back against the sheer size of Greece in Odyssey, as well as...
  • My issue with modern Star Wars video games

    Star Wars is a huge franchise, a franchise I am particularly fond of. I’ve loved it since being a kid. We wore out the taped TV versions, full of Christmas adverts, that were our only copy of the original trilogy. We almost destroyed the, now collector’s piece, Kenner Millennium...
