The Marvels
When I reviewed Captain Marvel, I didn’t want to just say, “Hey, this film is bad and here are the bad parts.” I wanted to break down why it didn’t work from a storytelling perspective. More so that others don’t make the mistake and perhaps in the hope that maybe the writer of the film would read the review or at least so the point got back to her.

Creativity
It seems bizarre to say and heart-breaking to realise that it needs to be said, but creativity is integral to anything creative. It’s not enough to tell a story but you must be able to look at all factors as if the project you are working on is more of a reflection of actual events and that you, the creator, are simply recording what has happened.

Spider-Man 2
Let me tell you a story. A young teen - a boy who was always an outsider. He could never really fit in with the popular kids because his dyslexia put him in the special classes and the friends he met there, he could never turn his back on. This boy was drawn to the X-men, more specifically, James Howlett a.k.a., Wolverine. There was something about the tortured soul that drew me in and as any self-respecting long-haired teen, I begged my dad for Wolverine Comic books.

The Benefits of Playing Souls-like
Dark Souls gave birth to the term, ‘Get Good.’ And thanks to this we have seen numerous debates about having an ‘easy mode’ to the game or if that would be a betrayal of the game or cheapen the accomplishments made by the player. Whether it’s the magnificent battle with Ornstein and Smough, or the dream (or perhaps nightmare) battle with the Knight Artorias. I’m pretty sure my neighbor's kids know how to swear purely due to the number of times I have died to that character.

Is The Gaming Industry Dying?
Is Gaming dying? Let me start this by saying, I love video games. They are, by far, my main entertainment. Every now and then I’ll log on and play Call of Duty - and then proceed to have my rear-end handed to me by a bunch of teenagers who have just discovered swearing, but I laugh it off and keep going. I will scream as the same Boss or tough enemy has killed me for the millionth time on, Elden Ring. And now that I finally have a PlayStation 5 I am in awe of the beauty of Demon’s souls. Yes, I played it when it came out but the evolution has me mesmerized! Between you and I, I called in sick so I could continue playing Spider-Man 2. I recently discovered that I have sunk 600 hours into Wareframe, I have been enchanted by games like, Cathrine and Hollow Knight.

Fighting Depression
On March 19th I was given the opportunity to fight in an exhibition match. I have practiced martial arts for a number of years and since 2020 I have focused on Muay Thai - the Art of 8 Limbs. My first sparing session in Thai boxing showed me how under-prepared I was for this world and that my more traditional and meditation-based styles were just not suitable for combat.

She-Hulk, The Honest ReviewTop Story - August 2022
For the most part, I’m ignoring everything around the show, cast and crew interviews for the most part aren’t relevant. The whole, “why isn’t Bruce called He-Hulk” nonsense just isn’t relevant to the show, but there are a few bits that are so telling when you watch this show.

Morbius
Simply tearing this film apart would just not be productive. There was real potential with this film and visually, it is a wonder to see. Jared Leto gave an interview and was asked about the stuff of nightmares, the horrifying hand or Morbius from the cartoons. His response ignored the question and instead he went on about the style of the movie.

Elden Ring
This was not a game that came out of Nowhere. This is not a game that had the cards stacked against it. Instead, this is an amalgamation of consistently great stories, respectful gameplay, and the notion that a game doesn’t have to hold your hand to give you what you want.

Fighting Depression
It has taken a long time to get here. To get to the point where I can say, I have depression. I said a few years ago that I have ‘down days’ but that I didn’t class myself as someone with depression as I didn’t see myself as survive as I know others are.
