'Tinder.' New App Streamlines The Dating Process To 'Hot Or Not' Basics

We're all used to the notion of online and mobile dating by now; OKcupid, Match.com, eHarmony, the list continues to grow. To some extent, it makes sense -- modern life is becoming more and more hectic with most people working longer hours, and many no longer have the time to have relationships grow organically.

The Walking Dead: Episode Five – No Time Left Review

The concluding part to Telltale Games' The Walking Dead presents not only an end; but a beginning.
