Dear Diecast,

I was recently listening to a Podcast interview on Tested.com with Adam Savage speaking with guest Evan Narcisse who if you are unfamiliar is/was a reporter for Kotaku but also the writer on a recent Black Panther comic mini-series. In the interview he discusses adapting  to writing for an unnamed video game and how it's like 'trying to put a saddle on a hurricane' in that things keep getting changed around with the design. It has me wondering if this sort of fluidity is the source of some of the incongruities and shortcomings you so love to point out in your breakdowns of games like Spider Man.
