We’ve all been there, the reading slump. I’ve spent my fair share of time feeling the “wow, I’d sure love to enjoy this book or any book really but nothing is quite hitting the spot.” Often times when I’m in a slump like this, my mental health is to blame. Like many of you out…
Responsibility Done Right
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) for the PS4 is the best Peter Parker has been written in over a decade. I may go so far as to say that this game has the most solid portrayal of Peter Parker in any Peter Parker-centric story. Now, I know that’s a big…
