About Jared Stewart
Jared is a writer, editor, and Communications Studies graduate who loves popular nerd culture (almost anything to do with Marvel, DC, Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings) and the interactive storytelling medium. Jared's first console was the PS1, wherein he fell for Spider-Man, Spyro the Dragon, and Crash Bandicoot.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Earned all achievements/the Platinum trophy in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It took ~70 hours, okay!?
Favorite Games
Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bloodborne (Sekiro as a close FromSoftware second), Helldivers 2, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, The Last of Us Part 2, and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales.
Favorite Console
Jared owns a Nintendo Switch, PC, PS1, PS2, PS5, and Xbox 360, but he most fondly remembers the PlayStation 2.
