‘Not Today’ – BTS – Track Of The Day

Summer’s here! You know what that means! We all start to feel terrible about our bodies and desperately try to attain a beach body. At least that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve always had a terrible relationship with exercise, but I’ve decided to change that. And what better way to keep me motivated than with […]

Press Start: Culture Clash

A majority of creative pieces can find their grounding in real world circumstances.

‘The Wizard of Ahhhs’ – Todrick Hall Feat. Pentatonix – TOTD

Before Todrick Hall was judging queens on Drag Race and strutting the stage in Kinky Boots, he was a YouTube sensation. Known for his creative mash-ups, Hall garnered quite the following, so it was almost inevitable for him to pair up with the equally successful Pentatonix.

‘Spiderwebs’ – No Doubt – Track of the Day

There’s certainly no doubt that I listened to this a lot in my teens. Okay, that pun was awful. However, today’s Track of the Day is not!

Press Start: We Need To Be Able To Discuss Sexism

Fair warning: Based on my experience discussing this topic, a lot of you will think it is preachy and irritating. That said, it still needs to be discussed. So without further ado, we’re tackling the exhausting topic of sexism in the gaming community… yet again. When I call this topic exhausting, I do it with […]

Mass Effect: Andromeda Review – Carving A New Path

As I’ve said previously, I’ve been waiting a long, long time to get my hands on Mass Effect: Andromeda. Finally, the wait is over and I was able to dive straight in with the latest addition to this epic franchise. I don’t mince words when I say that Mass Effect in its own right is a modern sci-fi […]
