Since the Despicable Me film franchise began back in 2010, a certain pack of little yellow humanoids stole the show.

The recent news of an underage hacker being imprisoned for terrorising several women has sparked a lot of things in my mind. Of course, online terrorism is bad, and you have to sincerely wonder how someone could be so amoral as to ruin the life of a perfect stranger over nothing. But the real thing that […]

It feels childish to say that Tokyo is a different place by night. Cities, by their very nature, are constantly in flux; changing and bending to the whims and will of the people within them, and the change that befalls every city in the world as daylight dies is universally understood.

At best they’ll be intelligent killing-machines that ultimately decide humanity’s reign has run its course, and at worst they’ll just be an army of mindless drones whose sole purpose is to get mowed down by the hero. Sure, there’s the rare exception such as […]

Since release, The Witcher 3 has seen almost unanimous praise. For good reason too, the game is widely agreed as one of the best fantasy RPGs of recent years and one of only a handful of games which make the current generation of consoles a necessary investment. I mean, a simple walk through the forests […]
