The Future Of The Walking Dead Is Bleak And Full Of Shock Value Over Story
The Walking Dead returned for its seventh season premiere – and much like the taste of Marmite, it has divided the planet on whether it was a good episode or not.

What Is The Future Of Journalism?
This is a hard one for me to write, when I was asked to write an article on the future of journalism I thought it was would be easy. There was one point in my life when I thought I was the future of journalism. But, no, I am just one of many other journalists struggling to survive.

The Story About Instagram Stories – Desperate Times, Desperate Measures?

No, Nicola. Facebook Will Not Be All Video In Five Years. Text Will Live On

Warcraft: The Beginning Review
Warcraft: The Beginning by Legendary Pictures is ever-so-slowly releasing across the world. It made it to our shores on the 30th of May, and has so far managed to inspire some of the most wildly polarizing reviews ever known. Even aggregate sites are all over the place right now.
