Ad Astra‘s Existential Crisis Got Me Playing…Destiny Again?

A strange thing happened to me after I walked out of James Gray’s Dad Issues (in Spaaaaaaaace) saga, Ad Astra—something I’ve not even remotely thought about doing for near enough a year. I sat at my PS4, thoughts about the film still jangling around in my head in process, and I booted up a game…

One Of The Best Things About Destiny Is Being Turned Into An Amazing Toy

I’m sick of saving the world: The case for smaller-scale stories

Sometimes it feels like the genre tales I love are in a storytelling arms race to constantly raise the stakes. We can’t even just have the world under threat – it’s the solar system, it’s the galaxy, hell, throw in the whole damn universe while you’re at it. What’s happened to the small-scale hero in…
