Spider-Man Done!

Added 2018-10-31 22:33:50 +0000 UTC

My upcoming retrospective on Marvel's Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4 is done! I've been working hard on it for the last six weeks or so. If you're curious, here are some facts about the series:

The series is 25 entries and 51,000 words long, which is is 2 entries longer than my current retrospective on Mass Effect Andromeda. This is a bit surprising. I have a lot more gripes about Andromeda, so you'd think Andromeda would be longer.

I think Spider-Man will be my most positive retrospective to date. I suppose a bit of the extra length can be blamed on various digressions on the comic book business.

Spider-Man will take the Thursday slot when Grand Theft Auto V ends in a couple of weeks, although there may be a palate cleanser post in between.

I typed the name "Osborn" 90 times in the series while talking about Norman Osborn, and I just now noticed I managed to misspell it as "Osborne" about a quarter of the time. I wonder what other habitual misspellings I overlooked?

I'm done with the main writing, but there's still the job of proofing, adding screenshots, coming up with amusing captions, and formatting the whole mess for the blog.

My next big project will PROBABLY be an analysis of The Last Jedi, although I haven't started yet so I'm not making any promises. Whatever it is, the next series won't appear until March of 2019 when Andromeda wraps up. So I'm not in a hurry to get started on that. I think my next thing is to finish up my upcoming book.
