Heath Andrews has been a student of pop culture ever since he found himself to be the only student in 3rd grade who regularly watched "Get Smart" on Nick-At-Nite. Ever since then he's been engrossed in way too much media with a growing collection of music, books, comics, TV on DVD box sets, and a video game collection that could rival a brick and mortar store. Prior to writing for Nerdbot he's written for Review You, MyAnimeList, and various advertising companies. Since 2016 he's run his own YouTube channel under the moniker of The Critical Android where he livestreams video games and uploads podcasts about pop culture and Frasier.

Death has not stopped Tom Clancy’s works from being adapted into video games, nor will it stop Alfred Hitchcock’s! It may have taken 63 years, but we’re finally going to get that video game version of “Vertigo” that we’ve all been waiting for! That’s right, the psychological thriller starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak is becoming a video game, though it will have a lot less Stewart and Novak this time around, while hopefully more psychological thrills. If you’re familiar with “Vertigo,” then you know that it’s largely a detective story revolving around Stewart’s character of “Scottie” his psychological trauma,…
