@sabrinatvband.bsky.social writes about Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. The game has amazing combat, but it drops the ball in almost every other respect.
At least there's an ending where Spider-Man becomes a super-freak and ends up with Black Cat.

At this tier, you can ask me to watch either a movie or the first two hours of a TV show once a month. I will write at least 1,000 words about what you ask me to watch. You also get everything from the other tiers. I reserve the right to ask you to choose something else if, for whatever reason, I don't want to watch your selection [I don't want to watch movies like god is not dead for instance].

I've added a new tier to my Patreon where you can ask me to watch either a movie, or the first two hours of a TV show, once every month. I'll write at least 1,000 words about whatever you request!
There are only 5 slots open, so supplies are limited.

The long-dormant open world games series has returned . . . a week early for patrons.

Five years ago I attempted to write a piece celebrating physical media as it was entering its twilight years. I never finished the piece, but it doesn’t matter, because in the years since there have been about a hundred human interest stories written about Blu-Ray enthusiasts. While the simple convenience of streaming is compelling, there are a lot of good reasons to love physical media, outlined in these aforementioned articles:

Haven't gotten around to putting this physical media piece on the website proper yet, but it's free to read on my Patreon right now: www.patreon.com/posts/20-of-...

@sabrinatvband.bsky.social reviews Season 14 of King of the Hill. It certainly delivers on a character and general writing level. But on a political level, it's acting like it's still 2009.

The King of the Hill revival understands its characters, has good comedic moments, and gets some mileage out of the gap between seasons.
But it plays things too safe with its political satire.

The Orville Deserves a Second Chance Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville is a great sci-fi show. It’s essentially TNG-era Star Trek, but different. Unfortunately, it seems that, at least in my circles of the internet, few people have watche…

From The Vault: The Orville, Seth MacFarlane's take on Star Trek, got a lot of bad press when it debuted. It specifically received a lot of criticism for dropping the ball on an episode about trans stuff.
