I have finally finished writing my book on Storytelling, which explores why stories have such a hold over us, and shows how to create impactful stories for your audiences. Been a really fun process researching and writjng. Now comes the hard part - getting it published!

www.ign.com/articles/met... MGS4 is like a blank spot in my memory. I can vividly remember MGS, Sons of Partiots, Snake Eater, even MGS5. But despite MSG4 being the grand finale, I just can't remember anything beyond the fact it brought back every available character and the hours long cut scenes

Rewatching Jurassic Park. Really is pure cinema. While the sequels focused on spectacle (and laser targeted raptors for some reason) Jurassic Park is a film about why Jurassic Park is a bad idea. Its about moving forwards not looking backwards. 'So have I' is one of my favourite lines in all film

Somewhere there’s a timeline where there was a Scotland vs. England match and Greggs as a company just vanished in a puff of logic

As much as I think Burnham will be a good Prime Minister, I do think its not a great look that we keep voting in moderates (Cameron, May, Starmer - Boris was the exception, but there wasn't a moderate option) that then get removed and replaced by radicals that move their party to the right or left

In these desperate times, we need moments that can bring us together as a nation, which is why I pay tribute to every American selflessly offering us their opinion on Belfast.

www.ign.com/articles/bbc... Sad it's come to this. I think there was an obvious end point to this story when his first set of lives ran out. Could have been an impactful end of this journey and this story. Now looks like it will end here (at least for now)

Interesting trend in films recently around blurring the lines between Protagonist and Antagonist. In both 'Send Help' and 'Obsession', the conventional Antagonist role is thrust upon them unwillingly, whereas the 'Protagonist' has done something bad that has unleashed elemental forces on them

Question - Take any recurring character or series that's gone past their initial character or narrative arcs, such as Doctor Who, Batman, Spiderman or Star Wars, the MCU - what would you do for an emotional, satisfying and conclusive ending?

The whole region was like a Jenga tower that was teetering on collapse, which each player cautiously pulling pieces and planning their moves. Then a demented bull backs over it by accident and the whole thing collapses and now we have utter chaos...for no good reason
