Sticking to surfaces like a spider can has always been an automatic function or single button-press and we want something a little more active. Taking a cue from the thematically true gameplay design of the Arkham games and the poignant connection we felt to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and its rooted, subtextual control-scheme, we think the most accurate way to represent Spider-Man's wall-crawling is by holding a button - preferably, one of the triggers.

Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive."

His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
